NRT-Crash, Fire and Rescue
I don't know if this has been brought up on APC yet, but I believe a big thanks goes out to the firefighters who were first on the scene in NRT and worked through the flaming wreckage to try to rescue the FEDEX flight crew.
Domo arigato NRT!

Good job CFR
The word I have says they did a fine job (maybe heroic?) in fighting their way through the fire to get to the crew. Sadly, they were gone by by the time firefighters reached them. May they rest in peace ...

I landed at NRT yesterday on the accident runway in the daylight.
The scorch mark is basically on top of the driveway of a fire station. Those guys could have thrown a rock from their parked trucks to the wreckage.
The scorched area is shockingly short. They didn't travel far off the runway. They were headed for the "clock" next to the "Narita" spelled out in shrubbery.
Some aircraft parts have been stored in the grass behind the "Narita" bushes. I saw one engine....

I am perplexed by one thing however. Data on this accident shows our crew in the cockpit for one hour after the accident occurred. There is a video showing a EMT type performing chest compressions on one of our fallen crewmembers.
Could they have survived yet could not be extricated from the jet?
