MAYDAY emergency call to control tower failed most of the time, after lighting damaged radio. Only few words could be transmitted for a very short duration.
Because it was over Moscow City where pilot could not dump jet fuel before landing - and he had just taken off full fuel, it was a very hard landing with over-weight fuel, and catch fire big time! Half people dead. Most managed to escape with burnt but later died in hospital.
They fled by sliding off the inflated emergency slides on both sides.

The Sukhoi Superjet 100 burns on the runway in Moscow on May 5, 2019 © RT
Aeroflot Flight SU1492 departed Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport on Sunday, bound for Murmansk. The plane quickly returned to Moscow after a fire broke out on board, and landed trailing smoke and fire.
Video captured from the tarmac shows passengers leaping from the aircraft, as flames engulf its body and smoke billows into the air. The people then flee down the runway, away from the wreckage.
“Please, please, guys, come on, hurry up!” a voice behind the camera begs, as people are seen fleeing.
The plane was extinguished by fire crews minutes after the evacuation, and ambulances rushed to the scene to tend to the injured. The final death toll may exceed 41, as some survivors remain in critical condition.
The fire consumed much of the plane’s fuselage, stripping the airliner down to its metal frame. Sukhoi said the craft completely burned out.
