interesting twist:

<<One tour guide from Taiwan said there was already smoke when the plane reached the skies over the Naha airport.

Another guide said she did not notice anything unusual until passengers were helped by CAL crews to escape the plane only minutes after landing.

She said explosions took place when she and others had run about 100 meters away from the plane, which was engulfed with heavy smoke. >>

smoke while inflight? oil leak?

this will be a very interesting case to watch...problems with the airline, or the airplane?
