The Tupolev Tu-154M was on approach for Irkutsk, when the pilots lowered the landing gear, the co-pilot realises that the plane is banking. The Tu-154 is at a 45 degree angle, and the nose is starting to drop. The co-pilot reacts and violently pulls back on the control column. The aircraft's nose goes up, and the plane stalls, and flips, going into a flat spin. The pilots almost recover the plane, but it crashes and all 145 people on board are killed.
