NHK is now reporting (12:40JST) that all passsengers are out and all crew are safe but one of the crew members was slighly injured. They noted that the plane landed, and was approaching (or was at--this was not clear) the gate when four loud thumps were heard, followed heavy smoke, then fire. The fire reached all the way to the top of the vertical stabilizer.
