From the Wikipedia article

On 28 June 1969 an Ilyushin Il-14 crashed on the Soviet domestic scheduled flight Aeroflot Flight Sch-28 (Russian Cyrillic: Рейс Ш-28 Аэрофлота, transcribed: Rejs Sch-28 Aeroflota) from Talas to Frunze (today: Bishkek), killing all 40 occupants. Until Iran Aseman Airlines Flight 6895, it was the deadliest air accident in present-day Kyrgyzstan.

Sequence of events

At 19:36 local time the Il-14 took off heading west (course: 270°). Instead of the planned left turn, the pilots flew a right turn. The air traffic controller noticed this at 19:42 when he was in radio contact with them. Nevertheless, he gave no instruction to change course. The aircraft thus deviated 8.7 km from the airway that was to lead it to Frunze until, at 19:50, flying in cloud at an altitude of 3150 m, it struck a treeless mountain slope with a shallow 22° incline. After the impact, the wreckage was thrown a further 50 m into the air and burned out.
