NARITA —
A cargo aircraft crash landed due to strong winds at around 6:50 a.m. Monday morning at Narita International Airport, east of Tokyo, and burst into flames, Chiba prefectural police said.

The crashed plane, an MD-11, was FedEx Flight 80 from Guangzhou, China and was manned by a pilot and co-pilot, according to the transport ministry’s Narita airport office. Police said it remains unknown whether there are any casualties. The cargo plane landed on Runway A, the longer of the airport’s two runways, the office said. The runway is currently closed.

Scary stuff.
