From the Wikipedia article
On 25 September 1984, an Antonov An-24RV operating Aeroflot Flight 7010 from Sverdlovsk via Omsk to Kemerovo had to make an emergency landing shortly after takeoff. One of the 41 occupants died in the incident. After the accident, the An-24 was repaired and remained in commercial service until 2012.
Sequence of events
After taking off on heading 256° (west), the pilots flew a U-turn in order to climb to 250 m while turning onto the planned flight route. Meanwhile, at 18:26, they heard a bang, which with the help of the instruments they were able to attribute to the failure of the RU-19А-300 auxiliary engine installed in the right engine nacelle. In fact, the turbine disc had shattered, and its debris punched 32 holes in the right engine nacelle and the fuselage, including 3 windows. After reporting the incident and the injuries, they landed.
A passenger aged about 55 died when pieces of shrapnel struck his head. Another was treated in hospital for minor facial injuries, and one passenger was treated on site.
Investigation and cause
Cause
Since no part of the turbine disc could be found, the disintegration could not be explained beyond doubt. It is assumed that fatigue cracks formed either as a result of a material defect that was not found during manufacture or as a result of an error in the manufacturing itself, which ultimately led to the failure.
