Aeroflot Flight 6502 - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
While approaching Kurumoch Airport, Captain Kliuyev made a bet with First Officer Zhirnov that he, Kliuyev, could make an instrument-only approach with curtained cockpit windows, thus having no visual contact with the ground, instead of an NDB approach, suggested by the air traffic control.[SUP][2][/SUP] Kliuyev further ignored the ground-proximity warning at an altitude of 62–65 m (203–213 ft) and did not make the suggested go-around.[SUP][2][/SUP] The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 150 kn (280 km/h; 170 mph) and came to rest upside down after overrunning the runway.[SUP][2][/SUP] Sixty-three people died during the accident and seven more in hospitals later.[SUP][2][/SUP] Among the passengers were 14 children, all of whom survived the accident.[SUP][3][/SUP] The top-secret report of the chairman of Kuibyshev oblispolkom V. A. Pogodin to Premier Nikolai Ryzhkov gave slightly different figures: Of 85 passengers and eight crew members aboard, 53 passengers and five crew members died in the crash and 11 more in hospitals later.[SUP][3][/SUP]
Though Zhirnov made no attempt to avert the crash, he subsequently tried to save the passengers and died of cardiac arrest en route to hospital.[SUP][4][/SUP] Kliuyev was prosecuted and sentenced to 15 years in prison, later reduced to six years served.
On one hand, probably the most senseless tragedy possible. On the other hand, I'm surprised this hasn't happened more with bored pilots as flying seems like a fairly boring but stressful job a lot of the time (like a truck driver but more boring and even higher risk)
