TOKYO — A FedEx cargo plane crashed early today amid heavy winds at Tokyo’s international airport and burst into flames. The pilot and co-pilot were taken to a hospital, and a local TV station reported they were both confirmed dead.

The flight from Guangzhou China crashed onto a runway at Narita Airport and was immediately swarmed by firefighters and rescuers.

The pilot and co-pilot — the only people onboard the flight — were extracted from the cockpit and brought to a local hospital, according to airport spokeswoman Misuho Fukuda.

Television footage showed the plane bounce and then burst into flames as it skidded to a halt on the runway. The twisted remains of the plane were still smoking hours after the crash.

The plane smashed into the longer of Narita’s two runways, which remained closed Monday morning with all incoming flights diverted, Fukuda said.

Local news reports said the plane was an MD-11.

Strong winds and turbulence have caused other recent incidents at the airport.

Last month a flight from the Philippines was jolted by severe turbulence as it circled prior to landing, injuring 50 passengers and crew members.

Narita's winds are hell for landings. I remember landing there after a 16 hour flight and we approached and went back up multiple times. Most turbulent airplane flight I've ever been on.

Sus, mao ra ba ni the only direct flight to Japan from Cebu AFAIK.
It's really hard to navigate when winds are this unpredictable, and if this is the nature (winds) in Narita, I hope they could do something about it for safety sake.
