The Aeroflot flight 3352 led from Krasnodar via Omsk to Novosibirsk . The crew prepared for landing at Omsk Airport early in the morning. The runway was slippery with rain; There were three work vehicles on it. At around 0541, the Tupolev 3352 touched down on the runway and collided with the vehicles. It broke into several pieces and immediately caught fire. 174 of the 179 people on board and four occupants of the vehicles died; only one passenger and the cockpit crew survived.
The cause was an error on the part of a ground controller responsible for air traffic on the maneuvering area . He had fallen asleep and had failed to inform the approach air traffic controller about the vehicles on the runway. The pilots could not see the vehicles because it was hazy.
