The Tupolev Tu-134A-3, HB-LBN, was lined up at the start of runway 28, ready to operate flight 9565 to Budapest. As soon as it received takeoff clearance, the crew accelerated both engines while keeping the aircraft stationary. As they prepared to release the wheel brakes, they noticed that the left landing gear was collapsing; the aircraft tilted sideways until the left wing rested on the ground. The crew reduced power and shut down the engines.
All occupants were unharmed; only the aircraft was damaged.
Cause
The accident was due to the collapse of the left landing gear during takeoff, resulting from a fatigue-induced failure of the lower attachment eyelet of the hydraulic retraction actuator.
