The plane crashed during the landing procedure. 25 people on board lost their lives. Two of the cadets survived because they jumped out of the plane shortly before impact. One of them is in critical condition at the hospital.
It is not clear at this time what caused the collapse. One of the pilots reported a few minutes before the tragedy that his left engine had stopped. Experts at the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense say this should not have been a problem, as the temporary shutdown of one of the engines is part of the standard training future pilots are witnessing.
