The Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash occurred on Wednesday, 7 September 2011 at 16:02 local time, when a Yak-Service Yakovlev Yak-42 passenger aircraft, carrying the professional ice hockey team and coaching staff of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), crashed near Yaroslavl, Russia. The team was on its way to Minsk, Belarus, in order to start the 2011–12 KHL season.[3] All players from the main roster plus four from the farm team were on board the aircraft. Shortly after take-off, the aircraft struck a tower mast, caught fire and crashed 2.5 km (1.6 mi) from the Tunoshna Airport. Preliminary reports say that all but two people (one player and one crew member) who were on board are confirmed dead.[3][4]
René Fasel, president of the International Ice Hockey Federation, called the crash "the darkest day in the history of our sport."[5]
Aircraft
The aircraft, a Yakovlev Yak-42D, construction number 4520421301017, was first flown by Tatarstan Airlines in 1993 and was later sold to charter airline Yak-Service, which was the operator of the plane when it crashed.[6] The aircraft, whilst being operated by Tatarstan Airlines, had been banned from making flights to the European Union in 2009, following airworthiness and air safety concerns. The aircraft would not have been allowed into the European airspace anyway as it does not have the required enhanced ground proximity warning system nor the collision avoidance system installed.[7] Oleg Panteleyev, head of analytics at AviaPort, notes that the Yak-42 was designed with a 36 year service life, and this airframe, based upon the number of hours flown, and the number of take-off and landings, still had 60% of its service life remaining. He also noted that in civil aviation, there is no such thing as an "old aircraft", but it is airworthiness which determines whether the aircraft is suitable to operate.[8]
Accident
The Yak-Service aircraft struck a tower mast at Tunoshna Airport as it was taking off, with reports that the aircraft used too much runway to take off. After it struck the tower mast, the aircraft caught fire, rolled to the right, and then crashed into the Volga River beyond the airport. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who had been on his way to Yaroslavl for the Yaroslavl Global Policy Forum, sent his condolences to the families of those killed in the crash,[9] and visited the crash site.[3] Upon hearing the news of the accident, KHL officials stopped and postponed the Salavat Yulaev Ufa–Atlant Moscow Oblast game already in progress.[10]
Investigation
The Interstate Aviation Committee (MAK), in accordance with Russian legislation, has opened an investigation into the circumstances and causes of the accident.[11] Russian aviation authorities suspended all flights with the aircraft type after the accident pending checks of other existing aircraft of the same type.[12]
People on board
According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the aircraft manifest listed 8 crew members and 37 passengers as being aboard the flight, including survivors Alexander Galimov and Alexander Sizov.[13]

Background
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl is one of the top teams in the KHL, originally established in 1959. The team won the Russian Championship in 1997, 2002, and 2003, and were finalists in 2008 and 2009, making it to the third round of the playoffs in four straight seasons. Lokomotiv lost in the 2010 KHL Western Conference Finals 4–3 to Ak Bars, and lost in the 2011 KHL Western Conference Finals 4–2 to Atlant. Following this latest playoff disappointment, eleven players (most notably former NHLers Daniel Tjärnqvist and Alexander Korolyuk) left the team, and nine players were added to the roster for the upcoming 2011–12 KHL season. The players set to make their debut with the team notably included former NHLers Ruslan Salei, Kārlis Skrastiņš, and Alexander Vasyunov. Also set to make their coaching debuts were former NHLers Igor Korolev and Brad McCrimmon. Prior to the crash, the team played nine pre-season games, finishing with a 7–2 record. On September 3rd, the players played their last game, at home against Torpedo, winning 5–2. Alexander Galimov, the lone survivor of the crash, scored the last goal of that game, sealing the win for Lokomotiv with an empty net goal.
