CNN just showed video of the actual crash. Severe porpoise on landing, severe nose first landing and another bounce with roll left, left wing sheared off during roll with subsequent fireball resulting - aircraft continues out of camera FOV.

I'm in Narita right now, it's all over the news and there is video of the landing. It doesn't look good for the crew. Please keep them in your prayers.

From the video looks like a slide was deployed.

It looks like the plane came to rest on its back, I hope everyone was able to get out ok. The cockpit looks as though it is entact. News reports there may have been high winds...CNN reports 2 on board, and that "1 person was taken off the plane"

I think that is aircraft structure, not a slide. The aircraft ended up completely upside down.
