On final approach to Ankara-Esenboğa Airport, the crew encountered marginal weather conditions and failed to realize his altitude was too low. On final, the four engine airplane struck a concrete pole, stalled and crashed in a snow covered field. On impact, the airplane lost its undercarriage, broke in two and came to rest few hundred meters short of runway. All 26 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was destroyed.
