From Wikipedia

Aeroflot Flight 6502 was a Soviet domestic passenger flight from Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) to Grozny via Kuibyshev (now Samara). On 20 October 1986, the Tupolev Tu-134A serving the flight crashed in Kuibyshev. Of the 94 passengers and crew on board, 70 were killed when the plane overran the runway after the pilot attempted to make an instrument-only approach with curtained cockpit windows. Investigators determined the cause of the accident was pilot negligence.

    Phase and cause come from the NTSB’s own coding of each accident, which only exists from 2008 on, so these two filters leave out 1982–2007. Cause categories are only recorded for some accidents, and early findings can change.
