From the Wikipedia article
The Tu-134 accident at Gvardeyskoye was an aviation accident that occurred on Monday, 10 July 2006. A Tu-134A airliner of the Russian Navy was transporting personnel from Simferopol to Moscow. At rotation speed a bird entered an engine. The aircraft commander received an order from the flight director to abort the takeoff, but the aircraft ran off the airfield, collapsed its landing gear legs, turned through 90° and caught fire. All 28 people (19 passengers and 9 crew members) survived the accident; 13 people received injuries of varying severity, and two were hospitalised. On board the aircraft was the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Vladimir Masorin, with a group of officers.
