Circumstances:
After landing at Rostov-on-Don Airport, the three engine aircraft encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, lost its undercarriage, struck a concrete wall and came to rest 870 past the runway end. All 10 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
Following a wrong manipulation, the flight engineer activated the thrust reversers on engine n°1 and n°3 but not on the engine n°2 that was providing full power. Such configuration reduced the braking action and the crew was unable to stop the aircraft within the landing distance available.
