ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TOKYO — An Orient Thai Airways chartered jumbo jet passed within 200 meters of the tip of Tokyo Tower in the early hours of Sept 19, Ministry of Transport officials said Monday.
TBS news reported that the jet, bound for Haneda Airport, veered off course at 12:20 a.m. after the pilot was given clearance by traffic control at Haneda to locate the airport with the naked eye rather than by radio beacon.
The plane was supposed to come in over Tokyo Bay but instead crossed over Tokyo Station and the Nihombashi district, flying at an altitude of 540 meters. Tokyo Tower stands 330 meters tall."
