Video broadcast later on Russian television showed flames bursting from the jetliner’s underside as it lands and then bounces. The plane apparently did not have time to jettison fuel before the emergency landing, news reports said. However, the plane’s reputation was troubled after defects were found in some horizontal stabilizers.
