A cargo plane has crashed and burst into flames at Tokyo's Narita Airport, killing the pilot and co-pilot, both believed to be US citizens.
The Federal Express plane was attempting to land in strong winds when the accident happened.
Airport security footage shows the plane hitting the runway hard and then tipping onto its left wing and bursting into flames.

That's quite gut wrenching footage. Thank goodness it wasn't a passenger jet.
