Narrative:The Tupolev G-2 cargo plane departed Bukhta Tikhaya on a flight to Buhkta Teplits on Rudolph Island in the Franz-Joseph-Land Archipelago. At the destination airstrip the aircraft had to go around due to a layer of ground fog. Poor crew resource management resulted in the aircraft entering the fog layer. The aircraft descended until a ski of the left main landing gear hit the snow. The undercarriage was ripped off and the aircraft crash-landed. Two crew and one passenger were seriously injured and two crew and two other passengers were slightly injured.
The Tupolev G-2 is a Tupolev TB-3 heavy bomber modified for the 1937 expedition to the North Pole with enclosed cockpit.
