Images and videos of the Aeroflot Flight SU1492 were shared online, showing flames and smoke shooting from the aircraft as passengers and crew escaped using emergency slides from the plane.
At least 13 people were killed and six others injured after a Russian Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet made an emergency landing in Moscow on Sunday.
Some reports claimed the plane had initially caught fire while flying when it was struck by lightning. But Tass reported that the fire began during the emergency landing. The airplane made two circles around Moscow before landing after about 45 minutes. Former Bulgarian Eurovision contestant Kristian Kostov said that he had witnessed the incident, according to the BBC. Kostov said travelers at the Moscow airport were “shaking” after they witnessed the emergency landing and the burning plane. He also said that other flights were at least temporarily blocked from taking off.
