Heard that they were cleared for a visual approach. The flightcrew however wasn't really familiar with such an approach at Haneda. Luckely they managed to line up for the rwy, and landed the aircraft. Heard that the captain probably will be suspended, and the rest of the crew will get a refresher course.
Wonder why the controller(s) didn't jump into to help, when it was obvious that the 747 was flying over the city?
