Aeroflot Flight 902 was a passenger flight on a scheduled domestic service from Khabarovsk to Moscow, with intermediate stops at Irkutsk and Omsk, Russia. The flight was operated by a Tu-104A aircraft. On 30 June 1962, with 76 passengers (including 14 children) and 8 crew members aboard, the flight departed Irkutsk on schedule, and made a timely report 50 kilometers from Krasnoyarsk. A few minutes later, an agitated voice later identified as that of the co-pilot made an incoherent emergency transmission with a background of an unusual noise. Repeated subsequent attempts to contact the flight failed.[citation needed]

The aircraft's wreckage was found 28 km east of Krasnoyarsk Airport, in flat terrain with small areas of forest. Investigators subsequently determined that the plane had impacted the ground upside-down at an angle of 40°. There were no survivors.[1]


Cause of disaster


The official cause of the disaster was reported to be a stall and loss of spatial orientation in cloud. A second theory was a loss of control due to a fire in the passenger cabin.[citation needed] However, damage found on the port side of the fuselage (specifically, an entry hole with signs of fire damage on the inside) was consistent with damage from an anti-aircraft missile, and there was unofficial confirmation that such a missile had gone astray during an air defense exercise in the area.[1]

Unofficial sources indicated that a fragment of the fuselage was found with a 20 cm hole and fire damage, indicating a high-speed impact. At the time of the crash, a unit at nearby Magansk had fired anti-aircraft missiles as part of an exercise. The responsible missile had allegedly lost its intended target in a storm front before hitting the Tu-104.[2]

[it] Volo Aeroflot 902

Il volo Aeroflot 902 era un volo passeggeri operante un servizio regionale partito da Chabarovsk a Mosca, con scali intermedi a Irkutsk e Omsk, in Russia (all'epoca ancora Unione Sovietica). Il volo era operato da un Tupolev Tu-104A. Il 30 giugno 1962, con a bordo 76 passeggeri (tra cui 14 bambini) e 8 membri dell'equipaggio, il volo partì da Irkutsk nei tempi previsti, e tempestivamente segnalò la propria posizione a 50 chilometri da Krasnoyarsk. Pochi minuti dopo, una voce agitata, in seguito identificata come quella del copilota, trasmise un mayday incoerente con in sottofondo un rumore insolito. I successivi e ripetuti tentativi di contattare il volo caddero nel vuoto.
