Answers to your frequently asked questions and noticed errors.
1. What's the big deal with used Japanese cars?
Answer: The thing is, everyone in the Far East drove these back then. They were ordinary, standard cars, and there were no others. So everything's fine.
2. The beginning of the video says there were 174 passengers. The end says there are 195 people on board. What's the discrepancy?
Response from ecovd.ru:
Children under 5 years old flew free in the USSR, carried by their parents, and were counted separately from ticketed passengers. Crew and flight attendants are also not counted as passengers.
3. The tail number on the wing is 86466, instead of 86464 (thanks to @Say_Cheese)
According to information from @Anton Kabanyuk, this aircraft first flew on December 17, 1976. In 1977, it was on display at Le Bourget. After the incident described, it was repaired and continued to serve, particularly on the Mineralnye Vody-Khabarovsk route.
