Just saw pictures on CNN from Tokyo. The view was from an aerial perspective and the aircraft hull was completely destroyed by fire, but it looked like it burned in one piece - there was not wreckage scattered all over. Local media is calling it an MD-11.

TOKYO (AP) — A FedEx cargo plane has crashed on landing at Tokyo's international airport and burst into a ball of flames. A pilot and co-pilot were aboard but their safety could not immediately be confirmed.
The plane was on a regular flight from Guangzhou, China. It landed under heavy winds early Monday, appeared to bounce and burst into flames as it skidded to a halt. Firetrucks were trying to put out the flames more than 30 minutes after the crash.
The plane was an MD-11, according to Japan's Kyodo News.
Sad news.
