Two FedEx pilots die in Narita crash
A FedEx MD-11 cargo plane crashed and burst into flames during a landing at Tokyo's Narita Airport in strong winds Monday morning local time, killing the pilot and co-pilot, according to news reports from Japan.
Video from the landing showed the plane bouncing at least twice on the runway and veering left as it turned on its side before bursting into flames.
The FedEx Express plane was on arrival from FedEx's new regional hub in Guangzhou, China, when it crashed.
The U.S. National Transportation Board is sending a team to Japan to help investigate the crash.
Japanese airlines canceled many flights after the airport closed its longest runway. Japan Airlines canceled 27 passenger flights and two cargo flights.
