landed at Domodedova airport russia to find a major section closed following another Tupolev TU 154 crash apparently two of the engines failed at 9000ft and the pilot tried to land on the third central engine which also failed just before touchdown according to the moscow times its suspected that lack of deicer in the engines was the reason for all engines shutting down

According to the Aviation Safety Network, there have been 66 crashes involving Tu-154s, including six in the past five years. The Russian carrier Aeroflot recently withdrew its Tu-154 fleet from service.

this was the type of plane that wiped out the polish pm
has there been a worse commercial plane than the tupolev ?
