A plane crash landed, sparking a fiery ball of fire that would consume the entire airport in a thick black smoke.
Panicked passengers rushed to evacuate a burning Aeroflot plane at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport after the Sukhoi Superjet-100 made a fiery crash-landing at a second attempt.
At least one person was killed and four injured.
Footage shared on Twitter appeared to show a dense cloud of black smoke pouring out of flight SU1492 parked on the runway as dozens of ambulances were dispatched to the scene.
All 78 passengers were evacuated from the burning wreck, and some 10 people have been reported injured.
Aeroflot Flight SU1492 declared an emergency shortly after takeoff from Sheremetyevo and returned to the airport after 27 minutes in the air.
The commuter aircraft was due to fly to Murmansk before the fire forced it to return to Moscow and crash-land.
