The passengers and crew onboard a Russian passenger jet are celebrating a narrow escape.
On Sunday, Nov. 24 at approximately 9:34 p.m. local time, the engine of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft operated by Azimuth Airlines — which had departed from Sochi in Russia carrying 95 people — caught fire after its arrival at Antalya Airport in Turkey, the Associated Press reported, citing Turkey’s transportation ministry.
Video footage of the incident was published by the aviation news website, Airport Haber, on X (formerly known as Twitter), and showed passengers exiting the plane via its emergency slide as smoke and flames billowed from the aircraft.
