More than 40 people died in a fire on board an SSJ-100 aircraft. On the evening of May 5, the plane flew to Murmansk from Moscow, but soon returned to Sheremetyevo and caught fire during an emergency landing.

A list of surviving passengers on the Moscow-Murmansk flight appeared on the Aeroflot website . This data is confirmed by the Investigative Committee.

As a result of the emergency landing of the Sukhoi Superjet aircraft, 37 people survived, 40 passengers were killed (according to media reports, a US citizen was killed; there is no exact information yet) and one crew member ( Maxim Moiseyev took the passengers out of the burning aircraft to the last ). There were 78 people on board.

Emergency and rescue operations at the crash site have been completed, towing of the airliner and liquidation of consequences have begun. Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to the families and friends, instructed to provide all necessary assistance to the victims and to thoroughly investigate the incident.

An operational headquarters has now been deployed in Sheremetyevo, where experts from Rostransnadzor, the Prosecutor's Office and the Investigative Committee, which opened a criminal case, arrived.

Eyewitnesses claim that the people sitting in the tail section of the aircraft were actually locked in their seats, because the passengers in front were actively getting their hand luggage. It was the desire to save their things, as experts note, that could cost lives to people for whom the passage between the seats was blocked and the rear emergency exit was unavailable.
