Aeroflot Superjet 100 returned to airport soon after leaving and made two attempts to land, successful on the second. Apparently only one casualty which is remarkable seeing the extent of the fire.

The plane was not on fire in the air.... ! ...  it had a problem and was returning ... looks like it did a "hard" landing ,... bouncing off the runway, and then a bounced bad landing, when it caught fire...

BREAKING: Russia's Investigative Committee says 41 people died in fiery airliner accident at Moscow airport

So sad, especially for the families, expecting them home.....

Very sad for those involved.

Russia does seem to be making more information available about accidents like this, at one time very little if anything would hhave ben reported.

So sad that maybe more people might have been saved if passengers hadn’t tried to retrieve their hand luggage.
