I second this. Read similar rumors. Besides, Aeroflot stated that the fire started after touchdown.

Reports also suggest it did not succeed in its first emergency landing attempt.

Fair enough, you would have thought the fire crews would have been chasing it down the tarmac though? I've had that before now, for far less important events, including an icident at Coventry that is probably best forgotten ...

I would ignore that, that will be some half-assed journalist studying the FR24 track and mistaking the hold for a missed approach (that BBC article mentions FR24, so thye probably looked) .. they are not very bright.

"The aircraft failed to stop on the remaining runway and overran onto the area that was under reconstruction, stopping after 250 meters. This caused damage to the forward fuselage, separation of both main landing gear bogies and a fuel tank leak."

Faraday cage
I am not an aviation professional so grateful if someone could explain things to me:
If the theory of lightning strike are true, how does it lead to electrical failure ? I thought that an aircraft aluminium or metal mesh composite effectively created an Faraday cage ?
If there were local electrical transients, would this only trip circuit breakers. which presumably could be reset quickly ?
Thank you.

An airport official said that ‘many passengers delayed emergency evacuation - because against all instructions - they were picking up hand luggage from overhead compartments.’

But 99% are resettable. Okay 98%

When it's made a criminal offence.
Then try and prosecute someone for it and see how it goes going after people who behave irrationally in an emergency.
We all know what we'd do when watching it on YouTube. Whole different ball game in the middle of it.

Given that there was a "bounce" that was apparently hard enough to start a substantial fuel leak, I wonder if overhead bins opened and spilled luggage? If bags fell and were blocking the aisle, I think there would be a strong temptation to grab and pitch out the open doorway simply to get them out of the way. (Although that doesn't explain the people calmly rolling their bags away...)
