Description

The Lokomotiv Yaroslavl air disaster occurred at 16:05 MT on Wednesday, 7 September 2011, when a Yak-Service Yakovlev Yak-42, carrying the players and coaching staff of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl professional ice hockey team, crashed near the Russian city of Yaroslavl. The aircraft ran off the runway before lifting off, failed to gain altitude, struck a tower mast, caught fire and crashed 2 km (1.2 mi) from Tunoshna Airport. Of the 45 on board, 43 died at the scene.[3] One of the two rescued from the wreck, Alexander Galimov, died five days later in hospital,[4] and only the avionics flight engineer Alexander Sizov survived.
