At least 13 people were killed after a Russian plane caught fire mid-air before making an emergency landing at a Moscow airport. Videos on social media showed passengers using emergency exit slides to escape and run away from the burning Aeroflot aircraft. Russian news agency Tass said two children were among the dead. One witness though said it was a "miracle" anyone escaped the jet, which was reportedly carrying 78 passengers. It remains unclear what caused the large blaze and emergency landing. The aircraft is reportedly a Sukhoi Superjet-100, and was scheduled to depart at 17:50 local time (14:50 GMT) for the city of Murmansk. The crew issued a distress signal shortly after departure from Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, Interfax reports. Reports also suggest it did not succeed in its first emergency landing attempt. Data from tracking website Flightradar24 appears to confirm reports the emergency landing happened about 30 minutes after take-off. Kristian Kostov, a former Bulgarian Eurovision contestant, has posted on social media about witnessing the incident. He said people at the airport were left "shaking" after seeing the aircraft engulfed by fire and said other flights are now unable to take-off. An investigation has been opened into the incident, reports say.

Unless there were only 13 souls on board, that number will increase greatly.

There's video of a number of the passengers running away from the plane

I'd look at the Clintons first.

Just what I wanted to see right before getting on a plane

Didn't seem like the fire trucks were well positioned

Some look like they have their bags. I hope nobody died in the back of the plane because some a-hole up front had to get their bags.

That might be the most Russian way to go out I’ve ever seen.

Buck up old man!
Take some chances!
But avoid Aeroflot domestic flights.

Isn’t it a crime (or there’s legislation planned) to grab your bags in an emergency exit from a plane?

Don't fly Aeroflot. Ever.
Those cheap prices on Expedia may look tempting, but it is a notoriously shitty airline.
