Basically...Overtemp close to max ceiling -> flameout -> risk blowing up #2 because of compensating power-> decides to land it somewhere -> falls down like piano

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

I just find aviation related news article that I think you might be interestted in and then post them here.
Also, there has already been a few crashes already this year.
