A Russian passenger plane has made an emergency landing at a Moscow airport after a fire broke out on board.

Videos on social media show passengers using emergency exit slides to escape and run away from the burning Aeroflot aircraft.

The Tass news agency said at least one person died but an official toll is yet to be released.

At least five others are said to have been injured, with the plane reportedly carrying 78 people.

It remains unclear what caused the large blaze and emergency landing.

The aircraft is reportedly a Sukhoi Superjet-100, and was scheduled to depart at 17:50 local time (14:50 GMT) for the city of Murmansk.

The Interfax news agency reports the crew issued a distress signal shortly after departure from Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.

AG Barr on the Mueller Report: 'I’m landing the plane right now'

5. I find it to be tasteless

To use the deaths of 13 people to make a political joke.

Maybe it's just me

[malaise]

6. I find a rogue AG working for the corrupt President

and not the people of the US way more tasteless -he's the one who said he was landing the plane for the Con. This is a Constitutional Crisis

IMO

9. That

[sarisataka]

10. Maybe some people

Do need to lighten the fuck up

Should the day come however when I hear of a plane crash killing a dozen or more people and I think 'that's hilarious' rather than 'that's horrible' I will look in the mirror and ask that reflection 'who the fuck are you'

I pity some people

11. Nothing in my OP said the plane crash was hilarious

The AG's comments and the said comment by Louisiana's Kennedy are likely to cause way more deaths - rule of law is one of the essential aspects of democracy.
This lawless bunch has to be stopped.
Call it gallows humor if you like as delisen did above.

12. I did not say

The OP called it hilarious. I said the OP was tasteless.

For some reason the aircraft rolling off the runway into a swamp did not trigger a reaction to the comment from a month ago.

Death toll is up to 41

13. The allusion isn't worth the confusion, and adds nothing to the discussion.
