A total of 179 passengers and crew members were killed in the crash, with only two survivors. The investigation has examined possible causes including a bird strike and issues with the aircraft's landing gear. Inspections of both engines recovered from the crash site have been conducted. The crash was the deadliest air disaster in the country's history.
The pilots identified a group of birds while approaching runway 01, and a security camera filmed HL8088 coming close to a group of birds during a go-around.
After the crash into the embankment, fire and a partial explosion occurred. Both engines were buried in the embankment's soil mound, and the fore fuselage scattered up to 30-200 meters from the embankment.
The samples were sent to specialised organisations for DNA analysis and a domestic organisation identified them as belonging to Baikal teals.
