Aircraft Damage beyond Repair, Fire at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Intl Airport

According to Aviation Safety Network At Hangzhou Airport (HGH), China, a Tupolev Tu-204-100C freight airliner caught fire on board. When a fire broke out in the cargo hold, the plane was about to fly on a journey to Novosibirsk-Tolmachevo Airport in Russia, carrying roughly 20 tons of general cargo. The eight crew members were evacuated from the plane, and fire crews responded to the fire, but they were unable to prevent the fire from spreading throughout the fuselage. Just beneath the wings, the fuselage ultimately broke.
