From Wikipedia
Khabarovsk United Air Group Flight 3949 was a Russian domestic passenger flight from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Khabarovsk, that crashed on 7 December 1995 local time (6 December UTC), killing all ninety-eight people aboard. The crash occurred after the aircraft had entered into a steep downward spiral during automated flight at an altitude of 10,600 metres (34,800 ft).
Investigation by Russian Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) concluded that the crash was caused by a combination of mechanical failure, pilot error and design flaw. The aircraft had instantaneously banked to the left shortly after taking off due to mechanical failure. The crew resorted to conduct a fuel transfer from the left tank to the right tank, creating imbalance towards the right. The crew were unaware that the aircraft had banked to the right. Without proper monitoring and lack of alarm, the aircraft managed to enter a heavy turn to the right, spiralling down without any possible recovery and crashed at high-speed.
