Russia's Sukhoi passenger plane makes emergency landing due to fire on board: agencies

Most victims were in the back of the plane. Eye witnesses report that evacuation of the plane was delayed due to people more in the front trying to take their hand luggage before evacuating. See people on the tarmac with their luggage on the footage above.

Now reported that it was hit by lightning......''

Its all very strange....

Looks like the last contact drove the main gear through the fuel tanks. No fire appeared before the landing unless a fire on the flight deck is what distracted the pilot to make such a poor landing.

Time to enforce 0 Baggage on Board!

I hope that whatever agency investigates plane crashes in Russia is given the freedom to do a thorough job. Lot's of questions about this one. The flight data recorders would help, but looking at what's left of that aircraft, I'm not sure if they survived.

It wasn't just an emergency landing due to a fire on board, it was pretty much a crash (41 people dead).

This aircraft type is an airline's nightmare qualitywise. Interjet from Mexico bought 20 of them and after a few years they became the epitomy of a hangar queen: 5 or 6 of them in maintenance permnently. Spare parts for the fuselage taking an awful lot of time to deliver; engine parts too. They are trying to get rid of them at any price for the exercise has cost them millions of dollars. The only other airline that bought this type of plane in meaningful numbers is Aeroflot. The fuselage and systemz were co-developed with Finmeccanica of Italy (they make parts for the 787 and other aircraft), and the engine was co-developed with Safran from France (co-builders of the CFM56 family).

one of the cable news stations had video from the opposite side of the runway, which showed the plane wobbling,then bouncing up,then bouncing down, and as it bounced down,the rear portion of the aircraft caught fire,and then it skidded down the runway with a total fireball from the midsection to the rear..that is the video seen from the other side of the runway..those in the rear section of the aircraft didn't have a chance..rip...

37 lived, 41 didn't

Thirteen dead - rip

Today's airliners cannot land safely at maximum take-off weight, hence the heavy landing, bouncing and gear collapse. Given that the pilots didn't attempt to dump surplus fuel indicates that a real time-critical emergency was already present.

Modern airliners land overweight everyday safely. The inflight fire is the key to this tragedy.

Forcing families to sit in different parts of the cabin is a crime of airlines against flight safety.
Separately, the child and one of the parents, especially big and strong, is a strayed evacuation and possibly dozens of lost lives.
