An incident involving a carjacker who intruded into the grounds of Tokyo's Haneda airport Wednesday and drove around the runways for half an hour has revealed communication problems between airport police and the airport operators.
Airport police failed to inform the operators of the airport of the incident.
Toshiaki Terauchi, 32, reportedly carjacked a vehicle near the international flight terminal and drove it through construction fences onto the airport premises around 7:25 p.m. Wednesday. He then commandeered a limousine bus and later took off in another car, before finally jumping into Tokyo Bay, where he drowned.
