Narrative:
The Tupolev Tu-204-100C cargo plane suffered an on board fire at Hangzhou Airport (HGH), China.
The aircraft was preparing to depart on a flight to Novosibirsk-Tolmachevo Airport, Russia, carrying about 20 tons of general cargo, when a fire erupted in the cargo hold. The eight crew members evacuated the aircraft and fire services attended to the fire, but could not prevent the fire from spreading through the entire fuselage.
The fuselage eventually fractured just behind the wings.
