Narrative:The aircraft took off from Moscow's Khodynka Airport with a broken breather pipe of the right engine. The crew attempted to eliminate the vibrations by changing the altitude mixture control. The right engine then failed, causing the aircraft to loose altitude until it collided with a pole of a telegraph line along a railway line. The aircraft crashed on the rails near the railway station Moscow-Butyrskaya tovarnaya and caught fire.
