The Tu-114 was severely damaged when the nose gear suddenly retracted during maintenance at ATB Vnukovo in mid August 1962. A junior engineer was working on the electronics of this aircraft and somehow managed to by-pass the protection mechanism preventing from the gear going up while on the ground.
