Fiery Crash of Stricken Aeroflot SSJ100 Kills at Least 41
A blaze emanating from the Superjet’s rear fuselage breaks out upon emergency landing at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport.

At least 41 people have died in an inferno aboard an Aeroflot Sukhoi SSJ100 at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO) on Sunday evening after the airplane made an emergency landing. Flight SU-1492 to Murmansk returned to SVO a half hour after takeoff when the crew reported “technical malfunctions.” The regional jet, carrying 73 passengers and five crewmembers, skidded off the runway after it landed violently and caught fire.
