Russian prosecutors launch an investigation into what caused the crash of an Aeroflot flight that killed at least 41 people

This handout picture taken and realeased on May 5, 2019 by the Investigative Committee of Russia shows a fire of a Russian-made Superjet-100 at Sheremetyevo airport outside Moscow.

"There were 78 people on board, including crew members," the Russian Investigative Committee said in a statement on its website.Earlier on Sunday, the investigators said 13 people had been killed in the plane crash. Investigators have started trying to piece together why the Aeroflot jet, which had been flying from Moscow to the northern Russian city of Murmansk on Sunday, was forced to make an emergency landing and why that landing went so badly wrong.

Asked by reporters at a news conference if the Sukhoi planes should now be grounded pending the outcome of the investigation, Yevgeny Ditrikh, Russia’s transport minister, said:Many passengers then escaped via the plane's emergency slides that inflated after the hard landing.

Pilot blames lightning strike, full fuel tanks for fiery Moscow landing that killed 41The Aeroflot captain who landed a fiery Superjet 100 in Moscow says full fuel tanks may have prompted the inferno that killed 41 of the 78 people aboard. If I'm not mistaken the other fatal crash you mention was down to pilot error due to being distracted by a potential buyer sat in the cockpit which caused him to go off course and the pilot ignored the warning systems for terrain. Completely different to this recent case .

Burning plane makes emergency landing in Russia; at least 13 dead in Aeroflot SU1492 fireImages 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. Too early to determine causes or speculate. Two things for certain: 1. Plane was on fire before it touched down; 2. Skill and professionalism of the aeroflot pilots and cabincrew prevented this from being a total loss of life. Aeroflot Аэрофлот the plane wasnt burning until the pilot smacked the Runway. how about since NEWS is in your name you go out and like, oh Idunno. Investigate! Make it so when slides are deployed, the overhead bins automatically lock. This would save lives!
