Police officials said both of the pilots died when the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, a mainstay of international cargo carriers, burst into flames Monday morning after bouncing, catching a wing on the ground and ending up with its left side smashed on runway. Initial press accounts, including television news reports, said weather reports indicated winds were blowing about 40 miles an hour, and airlines had been warned about a risk of wind shear at the time of the accident.
