A China Airlines jetliner exploded in flames Aug. 20 as it parked at Okinawa's Naha Airport after arriving from Taiwan, but all 157 passengers and eight crew members aboard escaped unhurt moments earlier, officials said.

The evacuation was completed within 90 seconds after the captain ordered passengers to get out of the plane.

An engine fuel leak is the suspected cause of the fire, but China Airlines is investigating, the officials said.

The National Police Agency said terrorism is not suspected.
