COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A recent graduate of Colorado College in Colorado Springs was among those killed in a plane crash at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport.

Jeremy Brooks, of Santa Fe, graduated from CC with an environmental science degree in 2018.

According to the BBC, the Aeroflot flight had just departed Sheremetyevo Sunday when it started to descend and return to the airport. Videos show the jet in flames upon landing at the airport.

Brooks was one of 41 people killed. A total of 73 passengers and five crew members were on board.

The flight was bound for the northwestern Russian city of Murmansk.
