The left engine failed 15 minutes into the flight and the propeller could not be feathered. The crew decided to make an emergency landing at Sukovo Airfield (now the Solntsevo district of Moscow) but had to go around as the landing gear had not been locked down after lowering.
During the initial climb the right engine overheated and failed as well. The aircraft entered a spin and crashed into a forest.
