During the roll out the aircraft burst into flames, veered left off the runway and came to a stop on the grass adjacent to the runway, the aircraft burned down. 41 occupants perished in the accident (28 occupants still missing were declared dead), 35 occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft via both front door emergency slides, the 2 flight crew escaped via the escape ropes through the cockpit windows, there were 11 injuries. The aircraft's tail section completely burned down and was destroyed.
Russian News Agencies claim the aircraft received a lightning strike causing a total electrical failure and subsequent return and a hard landing.
However, once again passengers insisted on taking bags off with them slowing the process and thus quite likely causing the deaths of passengers at the back of the plane who were trapped.
