One in Montana with possibly 17 dead and a cargo plane in Tokyo.

Shocking footage of the MD-11 'bouncing' down the runway at Tokyo before exploding. Fatalities unknown at the moment but one person reported to have been carried off the plane.

Thoughts are with those affected by this.

Very nasty stuff and awful to see - and yet more crashes, it's been a busy season [:(].

This from the BBC website - slightly different angle. Looks like the nose just dropped, then a bounce then ...
