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.
