The military transport crashed into Uvodskoye resevoir while on a test flight following repairs. It was the last surviving aircraft of its kind. All 7 crew members were killed.

The military aircraft was flying at 24,000 feet when images show the plane broke apart with the tail section separating in-flight before entering an uncontrolled descent and crashing to the ground.

The plane was on a flight to Jamaica to aid in relief from Hurricane Melissa. Shortly after taking of from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport the aircraft went into a rapid descent, crashing into palm trees between two houses and sliding into a man-made pond.

The cargo plane, with its left wing on fire, crashed into the roof of the Kentucky Petroleum Recycling building shortly after taking off from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. It then burst into a huge fireball. Multiple pieces of engine fan blades were found on runway 17R along with the main component of the #1 engine
