Amazing footage, lucky that only one person died the thing is in flames. People were still sliding down as most of the plane was burning.

Aeroflot Flight SU1492 declared an emergency shortly after takeoff from Sheremetyevo and returned to the airport after 27 minutes in the air. The commuter aircraft was due to fly to Murmansk before the fire forced it to return to Moscow and crash-land.
After the fire was extinguished, the extent of the damage was revealed. The tail had been completely consumed by the blaze, and much of the rear fuselage had been burned down to its metal skeleton. The aircraft involved was relatively new, with reports saying it was made either in 2017 or 2018.
A criminal investigation has been opened into the incident.
