41 people have died after a Russian plane burst into flames due to crashing while making an emergency landing at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport. The plane had 73 passengers and 5 crew members. Amongst the dead are two children. The event took place on Sunday.

Television footage showed the Sukhoi Superjet-100 making the crash landing at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport with much of the rear part of the plane engulfed in flames. The video also showed passengers leaping out of the burning plane onto an inflatable slide.

Initial reports suggested that an emergency on board had forced the plane into turning back after takeoff. Russia's Interfax news agency had reported that a 'lightning strike' resulting in
 a 'loss of communication' had led to the decision to return to Sheremetyevo. No official cause has been provided for the disaster. Russia's Investigative Committee has launched an investigation into this disaster.
