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.
