Overweight survivor of Russian plane inferno 'blocked others from escaping' as hero stewardess pushed people out of jet which bounced down runway before bursting into flames, killing 41 people
A survivor of the Moscow air disaster has sparked fury after he walked from the airport with a backpack he had rescued from the burning plane, prompting claims he had blocked other passengers from escaping.
Dmitry Khlebushkin demanded a refund and complained about his treatment by Aeroflot staff as he left Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on Sunday, while relatives of 41 victims mourned their loss.
The 'overweight' Russian has become a focal point of anger after several passengers were seen retrieving luggage while others tried to flee.
According to reports in Russia, only three passengers behind Khlebushkin - who was sitting in seat 10C - survived the inferno.
As the fire raged, hero stewardess Tatyana Kasatkina, 34, had kicked open an exit door and grabbed passengers by their collars to push them to safety.
However another flight attendant, Maxim Moissev, died in the flames as he tried desperately to open a door at the rear of the plane.
Terrifying new footage emerged on Monday showing the stricken Russian plane bouncing down the runway before bursting into flames. Source
