Narrative:
A Xian H-6, or Tupolev Tu-16 built under license in China, suffered dire engine problems shortly after takeoff and plunged toward ground uncontrollably. Three crew members activated their ejection systems, but one of them perished because his parachute did not deploy. The H-6, fully loaded with jet fuel and ammunition for training, was entirely destroyed as it smashed into rural houses. In addition to the three crew members who remained on board, seven people on the ground were also killed.
