After being cleared to land on runway 33 at Toluca International Airport, the crew indicated they were going around. The crew then indicated they were having flight control problems and attempted to make an emergency landing on a soccer field but the aircraft struck the roof of a nearby business bursting into flame and disintegrating. The accident took place in San Mateo Atenco, about 32 miles west of Mexico City. Both pilots and 8 passengers were killed instantly.

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.
