Moscow plane fire: 41 killed on Aeroflot jet (shocking video)

Reports suggest it did not succeed in its first emergency landing attempt

Newsroom May 6 09:10

Forty-one people were killed after a Russian plane made an emergency landing and burst into flames at Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow.

Videos on social media show passengers using emergency exit slides to escape the burning Aeroflot aircraft.

Two children and a flight attendant were among the dead, Russian media reports.

One witness said it was a “miracle” anyone escaped the jet, which was carrying 73 passengers and five crew.

“There are 37 survivors – 33 passengers and four members of the crew,” said an investigative committee official, Yelena Markovskaya.

Five people are in hospital.
