Aeroflot plane crash: Russia jet 'struck by lightning'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-48174169

BBC REPORT: Passengers and crew on board a jet that was forced to make an emergency landing at a Moscow airport say it was struck by lightning moments before it crashed.

Reports of the strike came as survivors told how they escaped the Aeroflot jet which burst into flames on landing at Sheremetyevo airport on Sunday.

Forty-one of the 78 people on board were killed in the accident.

Investigators probing the cause of the crash have made no official comment on the claims it was hit by lightning.

Modern aircraft are built to withstand lightning strikes, and Russia's national carrier has said only that the plane returned to the airport for "technical reasons".

However passengers said the plane, which was heading for the northern Russian city of Murmansk, was struck just after take-off.

Pilot Denis Yevdokimov told Russian media that the lightning had interrupted communication with air traffic controllers and forced him to switch to emergency manual mode.

What happened to the plane?

The Sukhoi Superjet-100 aircraft took off from Sheremetyevo airport to Murmasnk. The crew issued an alarm signal following "faults" that occurred shortly after takeoff.

After an emergency landing, aircraft engines were fired at the airport runway, Aeroflot said in a statement. The crew on board "did everything possible to save passengers," being evacuated in 55 seconds, the company added.

A list of survivors identified so far has been published and will be updated as soon as new information appears.

Interfax quotes a source announcing that the engines burst into flames after a difficult landing, contrary to the initial reports that the fire broke out during the flight. According to Russian media, the aircraft failed to land on the first attempt.

Wikipedia has this at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_1492

Flight 1492 took off from Sheremetyevo International Airport for Murmansk Airport at 18:02 local time (15:02 UTC).^[1] It stopped its climb at flight level 090 (approx. 9,000 ft or 2,700 m), circled to the NE of the airport in the region of Zhostovo, Pestovo and Uchinskoye Vodokhranilische' and turned back.^[2] The transponder code was changed to 7600 (to indicate radio failure) at 15:11 UTC and subsequently to 7700 (emergency) at 15:25 UTC, while Flight 1492 was on final approach to runway 24L.^[3] (UTC is the same inpractice as GMT)

The aircraft bounced on landing, and on the third and final touchdown the landing gear collapsed and a fire erupted, which quickly engulfed the wings, rear fuselage and empennage. The aircraft slid down the runway and veered to the left before coming to a standstill, about 27 minutes after take-off. The aircraft was evacuated from the front passenger doors and the emergency slides were deployed. The rear half of the aircraft was destroyed by the fire, which was extinguished about 45 minutes after landing.^[1]^[4]^[5]

Reports from surviving passengers suggested that a lightning strike may have occurred, and crew members said lightning appeared to be responsible for a loss of communication with air traffic control.^[6] A "static atmospheric discharge" at an altitude of 6,900 ft (2,100 m) was reported to have disabled the aircraft's radios and other equipment, including the autopilot.

A day previous to the crash I suggested that we might witness a dramatic and disastrous event, designed to distract attention away from the Israeli bombing and ground offensive (yet another) against Gaza. Then this happened put down to a 'lightening attack'. A lightening attack it may have been. Was I right and was this it?

Then we have the following fascinating footage that appears to show the plane crashing on take-off which is a quite different scenario to the one propouned above. Interestingly this comes from what appears to be a Jewish news agency https://twitter.com/KolHaolam https://twitter.com/i/status/1125140594421006337

This is time stamped 1:49 PM - 5 May 2019. We need to know what time standard this was. If GMT it would mean that it was 96 minutes prior to the crash at 15:25 UTC/GMT, so this is clearly not possible. Question is pending with KolHaolam.

MOSCOW: BREAKING: Death toll in Russian plane crash rises to 41: investigators. Video shows plane taking off before immediately crash-landing.

Where did it get this footage from? Who took it? Does it indicate prior knowledge? Why did no other news agencies have access to it?

"Kol Ha'Olam Kulo" (Hebrew: כל העולם כולו‎, "The Whole Entire World") is a Hebrew language song by Orthodox Jewish rabbi Baruch Chait adapted from the epigram attributed to the Hasidic rabbi Nachman of Breslov, "The whole entire world is a very narrow bridge and the main thing is to have no fear at all" (Hebrew: כל העולם כולו גשר צר מאוד והעיקר לא לפחד כלל).^[1] Israeli singer Ofra Haza also performs a popular version of the song."

So how did this niche Jewish news outlet get unique footage of the crash from a remote Russian location, posted on Twitter on the very same day? Perhaps it would like to tell us?

CNN here https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/05/europe/russia-airplane-fire/index.html discuss the same footage but this seems to be a day later on the 6th May.
