TOKYO, June 5, 2015 (AFP) - A Japanese domestic flight was forced to make an emergency landing on the island of Okinawa Friday after white haze was seen in the Boeing’s cockpit, carrier All Nippon Airways said.

The pilot on flight ANA 90, travelling from southern island of Ishigaki to Haneda airport in Tokyo, noticed the "haze-like thing" around 12:50 pm (0350 GMT) as the plane flew near Okinawa, less than an hour after departure, according to an ANA spokeswoman.
