Aircraft Crash on the Shore of the Kama River (CCCP-13345)

Incident Overview and Flight Conditions During the flight, the crew encountered turbulence and elected to continue flying at a relatively low altitude of 290 metres. After four hours of flight, the aircraft's fuel reserves became low, and the left engine began to misrun. In response, the captain decided to reduce altitude and attempt an emergency landing. ## Collision and Crash At a height of 45 metres, the aircraft struck five telephone steel cables, each with a diameter of 4.3 mm. The impact caused the airplane to stall, and it subsequently crashed on the shore of the Kama River. ## Casualties All four crew members aboard the aircraft were killed in the crash.
