: The pilot of a Russian passenger plane that erupted in a ball of fire on the runway of Moscow’s busiest airport, killing 41 people, said lightning led to the emergency landing.
Videos on social media showed the plane crash-landing and then speeding along the runway with flames pouring from its fuselage. Evdokimov said he believed the plane burst into flames on landing, most likely because of full fuel tanks.
