I see all the headlines talking about how all the passengers on the airliner are fine but what about the other plane it presumably hit ? the explosion was huge.

They are reported missing right now, which..well that aint good.

Pilot of that plane did amazing if they got hit during landing or whenever it happened?

Not looking good, early reports are still up to 5 crew of the other aircraft still missing (Coast Guard?) Captain appears to have survived. Seeing the size of the fireball from the collision, I'd not put high hopes of survival if they havnt already been located.

Thankfully events such as this are very rare, much rarer than other means of transport. If anything this just goes to prove the safety, procedures and capability of the response services, that in even a collision such as this, that so many survived. Shouldnt have happened, however you can only fight the odds for so long. Regardless of the safety procedures, eventually an incident/mistake will be made.

Indeed. I can't help remembering the last video of an airplane evacuation where people were trying to collect their hand baggage out of the lockers etc. Good job nobody was that stupid this time around! (We assume)
 
I would assume the coast guard plan taxied onto the runway at the same time that the JAL aircraft was landing, hence clipping only one side. Also, the crew of a landing aircraft would be checking the runway is clear before landing regardless of any clearance to land.
