On 6 July 2011, a Silk Way Airlines Ilyushin Il-76TD cargo aircraft on a flight from Baku, Azerbaijan, to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, crashed into a mountainside at an altitude of 3,800 metres (12,500 ft) while descending at night towards Bagram. All nine people on board were killed.[1]
Despite initial claims by Taliban rebels that they had shot down the aircraft, no evidence was found of external interference, while analysis of the flight recorders suggested the crash was a case of controlled flight into terrain.[2][3]
