According to reports, the Aeroflot aircraft went up in flames at Sheremetyevo airport after it hit the runway last night.
A few videos shared online showed some passengers running out of the plane with the help of emergency slides.
At first, only one person was confirmed dead and at least 5 injured, but, investigators have now confirmed hours later that 41 died in the plane crash.
