Aeroflot flight 5463, a Tupolev Tu-134, impacted a mountain while on approach to Alma-Ata Airport, Kazakhstan, killing all 90 occupants.
Tupolev Tu-134 CCCP-65129 operated on a flight from Kazan to Alma-Ata via Chelyabinsk. Approaching Alma-Ata, the Tu-134 descended prematurely over mountainous terrain. The GPWS alarm sounded for 23 seconds before the crew took action by initiating a climbing left turn. Two seconds later the airplane collided with the slope of Dolan Mountain at an altitude of 690 m above airfield elevation, which is 1365 m above sea level.
