TU-134 Accident in Samara

TU-134,s operated by UTair all appear to be glass nosed examples, which leads me to think they operate with four flight deck crew, (Captain, First Officer, Navigator and Flight Engineer) and three cabin crew.

Looking at accident stats for the TU-134, a large proportion appear to be landing accidents, with a high percentage being caused by heavy landings, leading to seperation of a wing followed by break-up of the fuselage. This appears to be an all too common occurance with this particular type.
