Narrative: An Aerofab Lake LA-270 Seafury amphibian aircraft impacted the waters of the Oka River near Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, Central Federal District after it clipped some powerlines immediately after takeoff. The aircraft was destroyed and the two occupants onboard were fatally injured.
MAK Conclusion: The lack of the captain's due diligence when landing on the Oka River bed, which led to the collision with the power line wire and the subsequent fall of the aircraft into the river.
