^^ this one was so fucked up i had to look it up.... it was Aeroflot Flight 6502

While approaching Kurumoch Airport, Kliuyev made a bet with Zhirnov to make an instrument-only approach with curtained cockpit windows, thus having no visual contact with the ground, instead of NDB approach, suggested by the air traffic control. Kliuyev further ignored the ground proximity warning at an altitude of 62–65 metres (203–213 ft) and did not make the suggested go-around. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 280 kilometres per hour (170 mph) and came to rest upside down.

Even though Zhirnov made no attempt to avert the crash, he subsequently tried to save the passengers and died of cardiac arrest en route to hospital. The other pilot of Flight 6502 was prosecuted and sentenced to fifteen years in prison

all those people died cuz 2 jackasses wanted to gamble with their lives.. humans are terrible..
