Russia probes pilot error after deadly plane blaze

In Russia, investigators are considering pilot error as the cause of a plane crash incident which claimed 41 lives at Moscow's busiest airport. The Sukhoi Superjet-100 had just flown out of Sheremetyevo airport on Sunday evening when it sent out an emergency signal and circled back, bouncing on the runway and catching fire.

According to media reports, the Aeroflot pilots made a number of



errors including flying into a thunderstorm and landing with a full tank rather than circling to use up fuel. 

Various sources told the business daily RBK that the pilots failed to turn off engines immediately after landing. Investigators are still examining the black boxes from the plane and have so far given no official reason for the crash.
