A young flight attendant was hailed as a hero Monday after refusing to leave the doomed Russian airliner while passengers were still aboard and died while helping them evacuate the flaming plane, according to a report.

Maxim Moiseyev could not open the door in the rear of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 during the inferno, so he began guiding passengers toward the evacuation slides at the front, the Telegraph reported, citing state news agency TASS.

He lost his life after refusing to leave anyone aboard behind before fleeing himself, the news outlet reported.

Moiseyev, a military veteran, completed a correspondence course in civil aviation before becoming a flight attendant 15 months ago, according to the report.

Videos from inside the aircraft showed passengers screaming and crying as the fire spread throughout the fuselage, killing 41 of the 78 people aboard.

“Everyone to the exit!” one man shouted as the flaming plane careened down the runway on Sunday.

Another flight attendant, Tatyana Kasatkina, 34, said she grabbed passengers “by the collar” and pushed them to safety after some people wasted time by grabbing their belongings from the overhead bins.

Social media posts have called for the crew to be awarded medals for landing and evacuating the plane after it was reportedly struck by lightning shortly after takeoff.

Meanwhile, more than 4,000 people have signed a petition to ban the Russian-made plane involved in the tragedy following eight safety incidents in the past year.

But the transport minister, who heads the commission probing the tragedy, said for now he didn’t see any reason to stop Superjet flights.

About 150 of the planes have been sold after being developed in 2011 by the famous fighter jet manufacturer Sukhoi with government support and consultation with Boeing.

The only other fatal accident involving the Sukhoi Superjet 100 occurred in 2012, when the pilot flew into a mountain during a demonstration flight in Indonesia, killing 45 people.
