Crash probe complete. As expected, pilot error is blamed. Given the state of Russian aviation, I'm not sure whether the probe can be trusted, but it's all we're going to get.

The Interstate Aviation Committee said the Sept. 7 crash of the Yak-42 plane near the city of Yaroslavl in central Russia occurred because one of the pilots accidentally activated the brakes during takeoff and then pulled the plane up too sharply in a desperate attempt to take off.
