A bomb on board and an emergency landing at Jõhvi
On 5 September 1958 Aeroflot Flight 365, an Avia 14 airliner, flew from Leningrad towards Tallinn. About thirty minutes after take-off, over the Narva area, a passenger handed the flight attendant a note. The pilot must come out, it said, or the crew would be killed. Captain Daniil Vlasov locked the cockpit door. The hijacker set off home-made explosives and tried to break in, and flight engineer Pyotr Bryzgalov fired at him until his gun was empty. With the plane on fire, the crew dived and landed here at Jõhvi airfield. Everyone except the hijacker got out before the plane burned. Vlasov broke his back escaping.

5. septembril 1958 lendas Aerofloti reis 365, lennuk Avia 14, Leningradist Tallinna poole. Umbes pool tundi pärast õhkutõusmist, Narva kohal, andis üks reisija stjuardessile kirja. Selles nõuti, et piloot tuleks välja, muidu tapetakse meeskond. Kapten Daniil Vlasov lukustas kabiini ukse. Kaaperdaja lõhkas omatehtud lõhkekehi ja püüdis ust maha murda ning pardamehaanik Pjotr Brõzgalov tulistas teda, kuni padrunid otsa said. Põleva lennukiga sukeldus meeskond alla ja maandus siin Jõhvi lennuväljal. Kõik peale kaaperdaja pääsesid enne, kui lennuk ära põles. Vlasov murdis põgenedes selgroo.
