Aeroflot on Fire. 13 killed.


MARU 5137

Strange one. They're saying now it was a lightning strike then main undercarriage broke on impact and debris set the engine on fire.

Funny thing is Maru everyone seems to have got out pretty unscathed or was killed. Seems to be luck of the draw depending on whether you were seated front or back.

Horrible how random life can be

Completely surreal...

Some Pax possibly asphyxiated and perished where they sat, yet others nonchalantly walking away with their cases trailing behind and suit jacket draped over their arms.

Reports that they squawked the 7600 no comms code, which may point to a loss of electrics due to the lightning strike. Fire likely from the MLG perforating the wing tanks after that hard landing. 

My heart goes out to all those involved.
