A Russian TU-22m3 Backfire. RT/Wikipedia.
The video below shows a Russian TU-22m3 Backfire crashing near the city of Olenegorsk, Russia. Apparently an arctic storm came out of nowhere and greatly hindered the approach of the Backfire. As of Tuesday two of the crew had been killed and two more had been injured but it is unclear what the current status of the crew is. The most recent article I could find was this one from RT.
The video shows the plane on approach and making a hard landing. It bounces off the ground and then the front 1/3rd of the plane snaps off before a huge fiery explosion. The destruction was immense and completely destroyed the aircraft. I have no idea how two people survived this crash as it looked like nobody could have survived it.
The video is only a couple minutes long but the crash starts at 1:10. The rest of the video is just a Russian man talking and I have no idea what he is saying.
