On 20 October 1986, Aeroflot Flight 6502 was a Soviet passenger flight, which crashed as a result of captain Alexander Kliuyev making a bet with the co-pilot, that he could land the plane "blind" with curtained cockpit windows. 70 of the 94 passengers and crew on board were killed that day.	1,810	86	Mar 9, 2026
