Airplane Erupts into Flames at Airport ***UPDATE 2***

Well... we missed our connecting flight from Narita/Tokyo to LAX. Actually, we didn't miss the flight, they would not let us on board. We landed and disembarked at Narita/Tokyo Airport at about 4:25--30 minutes until our scheduled departure time on United flight 890. From there, we sprinted to the United gate--only to find out that they would not let us on because our luggage could not be put on the same flight with us. SOOOOO... we are here in Tokyo for a little while.

As of right now we have reservations for United flight 890 departing Narita/Tokyo International Airport at 4:55 local time and arriving Wednesday around 10:52 am (PST).

We will continue to post and keep you updated. Thanks for all your prayers and support!

in Christ

How crazy! I'm glad that you guys are okay... Now you can debrief, relax and SHOP! :) And perhaps more air conditioned places now that you're in Tokyo? See you when you get back!

Those are some pretty impressive pictures! Looks just like what I saw on the newscast last night! Someone on your team could be a photojournalist. :) We miss you and are looking forward to seeing you again, but I'm glad you have a few extra days to enjoy Tokyo and to reflect on what God has done before we throw all our questions at you! :) Have a wonderful time! blessings, josie
