Investigators are still working to understand what caused the plane to ignite in a fireball upon landing
Moscow — A survivor of the Russian commercial airliner that crash-landed in Moscow on Sunday, killing 41 people, says a flash of lightning was heard moments before the plane began its emergency descent. “It was very strong, and could be heard throughout the cabin,” Dmitry Kharinin, an engineer and resident of Volgograd, told a local news outlet Tuesday.
Kharinin said he saw the lightning but did not witness a direct lightning strike on the Russian-made Sukhoi SSJ100.
