A sudden downdraft just before landing could have hit the FedEx cargo jet that crashed Monday at Narita International Airport, airline industry officials said.

The FedEx MD-11 jet crashed on landing and burst into flames, killing the pilot and copilot.

Video footage of the crash showed the jet bounce hard on its main gear and slam its nose onto the runway. It then veered to the left, causing the wing to hit the ground and the aircraft to burst into flames.
