Circumstances:
On approach to Moscow-Domodedovo Airport, the crew encountered poor visibility due to marginal weather conditions. Rather than initiating a go-around procedure, the crew continued the descent when the aircraft crash landed to the right of runway 14R, in an area between the runway and the boundary fence. All 28 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
