A passenger plane engulfed in a ball of flames on Sunday made an emergency landing at Moscow's busiest airport, killing at least 41 people according to officials.
"There were 78 people including crew members on board the plane," the Investigative Committee said in a statement, earlier announcing that at least two of the dead were children.
"According to the updated info which the investigation has as of now, 37 people survived."
Dramatic footage shared on social media showed the Russian Aeroflot-owned aircraft, flames and black smoke pouring from its fuselage, land at Sheremetyevo international airport.
Passengers could be seen leaping onto an inflatable slide at the front and running from the blazing plane as huge black columns of smoke billowed into the sky.
