A Federal Express Corp. cargo plane crashed and burst into flames early Monday at Narita International Airport, east of Tokyo, said reports from Narita, Chiba Prefecture, citing airport and police officials.

　　The pilot and the co-pilot aboard, both U.S. citizens in their 50s and 40s, were confirmed dead after being rescued from the crashed plane at around 8:00 a.m. and taken to the Japanese Red Cross hospital, hospital officials said.

　　The MD-11 plane, a cargo flight from Guangzhou, crash landed on Runway A at about 6:50 a.m. (2150 GMT) when there were strong winds of up to 72 km per hour, which whipped the plane back up and made its left wing hit the ground.

　　The runway is currently closed and it is unknown if passenger flights will be affected, according to the airport office.

　　一架由中国广州飞往日本东京的货机23日早晨在成田机场坠毁，机上两名乘员生死不明。

　　据机场方面说，坠毁的飞机是联邦快递公司的一架MD－11货运班机。当天早晨6时50分（北京时间5时50分）左右，这架飞机试图在东京成田机场Ａ跑道着陆时坠毁并起火。目前该跑道已被封闭，消防部门出动了10多辆消防车，灭火行动正在进行。

　　成田机场消防署称，机上有机长和副机长两名乘员。而当地警方则表示，目前救援行动正在进行，二人的伤亡情况尚不清楚，还在确认之中。

　　日本广播协会（NHK）电视台播放的事故画面显示，失事飞机在着陆时机头突然下坠撞向跑道，随即飞机向左倾斜，左翼撞地，飞机起火并冲出跑道。

　　据当地气象台观测，事故发生时，成田机场附近正在刮大风，最大瞬间风速为每秒20米。成田机场方面称，飞机是在着陆时遭遇大风导致着陆姿势出现问题而坠毁的。
