Christ alive, talk about landing with your *** on fire - how terrible https://news.sky.com/video/aeroflot-plane-lands-in-flames-at-moscows-sheremetyevo-airport-11712621

*Crash*

I see that the death toll is rising from one to thirteen. I think that the combination of being trapped and in a fire is one of those things that scare most of us.

Dreadful.

i dont think it was a crash

[237SJ]

Well it wasn't exactly a controlled landing. These things always seem to happen in 3s and that was number 2.

[ichkeria]

41 dead it would appear

[tamborine]

It blew up after landing? Frightening!

//i dont think it was a crash//

What was it then?

[elliemay1]

They think it was struck by lightning

[New Judge]

"They think it was struck by lightning"

Maybe. And then it crashed.

an emergency landing

From the link

// The Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet aircraft made an emergency landing at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow due to fire on board //

It is almost unheard of for a lightning strike to cause a plane to crash in modern times. The last lightning strike to cause a crash in the US for example was back in the 60s. That doesn’t mean this wasn’t the cause of course

A controlled emergency landing, NJ. Pity the poor folk at the rear of the plane. The front end didn't seem to be aflame until after it landed.

[david small]

Poor souls, terrible way to die.

[marval]

This is dreadful, how awful for them.
