TOKYO (AP) — Airline officials say oil sprayed from an All Nippon Airways plane as it landed in northern Japan, but none of the 213 people on board was injured. They say the nonflammable oil from a control system evaporated as it contacted a hot engine, giving the appearance of smoke. The ANA officials say the leakage on Wednesday did not jeopardize the safety of those on board. Its cause is being investigated. The Boeing 787-800 landed safely and was later towed to the arrival terminal. All passengers and crew disembarked. The Chitose city fire department says it mobilized six fire engines and an ambulance.
