Japanese Plane Ordered to Land on Closed Runway

Air traffic controllers at Tokyo's Haneda airport forgot that one runway was closed for construction work and ordered two planes to land on it. The second one was ordered to change its course at the last minute.

The runway is closed three nights a week during the summer for construction, but apparently none of the 20 air traffic controllers on duty remembered that it was shut down. No injuries were reported.
