From today's MAK update

In the process of the second approach, carried out in manual mode, the crew at an altitude of 220 m (4 km from the runway) decided to "go-around" and initiated a climb with the engines in takeoff mode. At an altitude of 900 meters the crew pushed the yoke forward and the stabilizer was put 5 degrees into dive, causing the plane to go into a vigorous descent with the vertical acceleration up to to -1 g. Subsequent actions by the crew did not prevent a collision with the ground. The collision occurred at speeds exceeding 600 km / h with a pitch angle to dive more than 50 deg.
