Accident

During approach, the air traffic control had not been given the current weather report, despite this, the controller told the Yak-40 the previous weather report although the weather had deteriorated. The aircraft while still on approach, had encountered a wet snow storm, the storm caused a downdraft onto the aircraft, causing it to contact the trees and explode, killing everyone onboard.
