Safety concerns with the Sukhoi Superjet, Russia’s first newly designed post-Soviet passenger plane, emerged soon after its introduction in 2008
MOSCOW — A Russian-made Sukhoi passenger jet made an emergency landing Sunday, trailing a gigantic plume of flame and black smoke and skidding to a stop on fire and with only its nose-wheel in view of passengers waiting to board flights at Moscow’s main airport.“Amazing,” one man can be heard saying on one of many videos filmed from inside Sheremetyevo airport and posted on social media.
Interfax said the cockpit crew stopped responding by radio after reporting the emergency. It was not clear whether the plane caught fire in the air or while landing. Later scenes showed flames spreading on the pavement, suggesting that fuel was leaking and burning. Fire crews sprayed the plane from trucks.
