Russians flew home from India for two days - the plane first caught fire and then came under fire.

Emergency landing, gunfire, and stress during the journey of Aeroflot passengers

Passengers on Aeroflot flight from Bangkok to Moscow experienced an unexpected emergency landing in New Delhi due to a suspected fuel tank problem. However, the tragedy did not end there - the airport in India came under fire just minutes after the plane landed. This was reported by the Russian Telegram channel Baza.

During the flight on May 6, passengers detected a smell of burning plastic in the cabin. Due to the inability to identify the source of the smell and the panic among passengers, the crew decided to make an emergency landing in New Delhi four hours after departure. The plane was examined, and a short circuit was found in the multimedia system on row 27, but thanks to the quick response of the pilots, the fire was avoided.

Immediately after landing in India, due to fire from Pakistan, passengers had to stay at the airport. They were temporarily directed to a hotel as the airspace was closed. Only after two days were they able to return home when the plane landed in Moscow at 11:30 PM on May 8.

It is worth noting that a recent incident occurred in the Amazon, where five people spent more than a day and a half on the wing of a plane surrounded by alligators after an emergency landing.
