This is the terrifying moment a jet engine caught fire shortly after take-off - forcing all 200 passengers to flee on emergency slides.
Footage showed flames bursting from the left side of the Red Wings jet which was due to land in Sochi, Russia on Wednesday morning.
All 202 people on board were safely evacuated when the plane landed at Ufa airport.
"I was a passenger on flight 808 from Ufa to Sochi on Wednesday morning," said the filmer.
"The flames started rising of the plane's wing. We were shocked since the fire was getting bigger with every second," he said.
"There was no other option apart from coming back to the airport of Ufa. By the time we landed, the wing was nearly melted," he added.
