NARITA — A Japan Airlines plane's rubber component to connect the engine with the wing was found to be missing after the plane arrived at Narita airport from Incheon, South Korea, on Thursday morning, the airport operator said.
Narita International Airport Corp closed the 2,180-meter runway for eight minutes to search for the 11-by-2 centimeter component but could not find it. The incident caused no apparent damage or injury to passengers or crew of the Boeing 767-300, and the plane left Narita around 12:30 p.m. for Busan, South Korea. (Kyodo News)

What is holding the wing on if rubber bands are holding the engines on?
Plagued by a series of safety lapses, Japan Airlines is putting together an exhibition of wreckage from a 1985 plane crash in what top executives said was a big push to raise awareness about safety among its employees. The torn fuselage and gnarled collapsed seats from the Aug. 12, 1985, crash of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet that killed 520 people are part of the display at the Safety Development Center, opening April 24...Until now, JAL had refused to show the wreckage, citing the feelings of survivors and families of the victims...
...The exhibit, which may seem like an odd, perhaps even exploitative, way to send a message about flight safety, will be shown to people outside the company upon request. The crash -- the deadliest involving a single plane in aviation history -- happened when JAL Flight 123 smashed into a mountainside northwest of Tokyo after losing its vertical tail section on a flight from Tokyo to Osaka. A government investigation blamed improper repairs by Boeing Co. Four people survived. The exhibit includes the flight data recorder in a glass case, sprawling segments of damaged aircraft, copies of Japanese newspapers and The New York Times with the news on their front pages, and color photographs of metal parts hanging eerily from trees. Japan Airlines officials acknowledged some family members had mixed feelings about the exhibition...more...
Police arrested a Japan Airlines pilot for allegedly bugging the apartment of a flight attendant to find out what she thought of him, sources said.
Masahiro Nomura, 39, of Tokyo's Toshima Ward, said he wiretapped the 34-year-old woman's apartment in Setagaya Ward in June 2002 and on occasion parked outside her home for the next four years.
"I parked my car near her apartment five or six times so I could listen," police quoted Nomura as saying.
Police said Nomura placed two listening devices that he had purchased in Akihabara inside her apartment. One was installed inside an electrical outlet.
Nomura's prying came to an end when the woman complained to police last October that he was stalking her. Police discovered the listening devices the following month.
Nomura is married and the flight attendant is single, the sources said.
Commenting on the case, a JAL official said: "It is extremely regrettable and we sincerely apologize for the incident.
"We will take disciplinary action against the individual based on our rules. Also, we will improve our employees' compliance."
Nomura's actions constitute violations of the Radio Law.
