A fire started after the crash. Video footage showed smoke rising from the place of the incident, Reuters reported. <br />According to Japanese and U.S. officials, all four crew members are believed to have survived, the Guardian reported. <br /><br />The cause of the incident is still unknown.<br /><br />According to Reuters, "the incident may stoke anger over the concentration of the U.S. military bases on the island." <br /><br />"Residents of Okinawa, host to the bulk of U.S. military forces in Japan, have long resented bearing what many feel is an unfair share of the burden for the U.S.-Japan military alliance. Many associate U.S. bases with accidents, crime and pollution."<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
