A passenger plane crashes in the city of Yaroslavl during a flight to Minsk.

On the plane was the Lokomotiv Jaroslavl hockey team, including Swedish hockey player Stefan Liv.

All passengers and seven out of eight in the crew perished.

The cause of the accident was that the pilot put his foot on the brake, and therefore could not achieve sufficient speed or sufficient altitude, whereupon the aircraft crashed into a radio mast before plunging into the Volga River.
