Because of some political conflicts between China and Taiwan, maybe I will never get a chance to take a China Airlines
flight. From Youtube
A plane belonging to Taiwan's China Airlines caught fire at Naha airport(OKA) on Japan's southern island of Okinawa on Monday, and there were conflicting reports about whether some people might still be on board.
Some reports suggested all passengers and crew had made it off the airliner, but one report suggested four people might still be trapped on board, a Naha city fire official said.
The Boeing 737-800 passenger plane had flown from Taipei to Naha, Okinawa's capital, with 155 passengers on board, public broadcaster said. An engine caught fire three minutes after the plane landed, broadcaster said.
TV pictures showed black smoke billowing from the plane as airport fire crews smothered it in foam.

Update: AP report says all 157 passengers and the eight-member crew safely left the plane. And Taiwan has ordered China Airlines and its subsidiary Mandarin Airlines to ground their 13 other Boeing 737-800s pending a thorough inspection. Link to photo gallery of fire and explosion of the plane.
