Aeroflot Flight SU1492 made an emergency landing at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport on Sunday. Of the 78 passengers and crew on board the Sukhoi SuperJet 100, the violent landing and subsequent fire took the lives of 41 people.

"Aeroflot extends its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of those who lost their lives on flight SU1492 Moscow-Murmansk," the airline said in a statement. "The crew did everything in its power to save passenger lives and provide emergency assistance to those involved. Tragically, they were unable to save all of those aboard."

"Our thoughts and hearts are with those who have suffered an unspeakable loss. We mourn with you," Aeroflot added.

The SuperJet is a Russian-made regional jet that first entered service in 2011. According to Airfleets.net, Aeroflot has 50 of the planes in its fleet, each with room for 87 passengers. The aircraft used to operate Flight SU1492, registration number RA-89098, was delivered to Russia's national airline in September 2017.

According to the airline, Flight SU1492, en route from Moscow to the city of Murmansk in northwestern Russia, suffered "malfunctions on board the aircraft" shortly after takeoff. As a result, the crew declared an emergency and returned to the airport. Later, one of the plane's pilots told Russian media that the Sukhoi Superjet 100's communications systems failed due to a lightning strike.

Dramatic video of the landing quickly spread across the internet. The first video to be posted shows the plane coming to a stop on the runway with flames and thick black smoke billowing from the rear of its fuselage. A second video soon emerged showing the plane bouncing violently down the runway when its main landing gear appears to collapse and catches fire.
