The pilot in command of the aircraft had drunked the night before with his commander. In the morning hours, he tried to take off of his own volition at the airport, but there was no order to do so.
So he knocked down the guard and that's how he got on the plane, and not only him but also a friend of his, also illegally.
They hit a power line on the near Danube and crashed into the river.
Lieutenant József Grósz and Corporal Endre Domonkos were killed.
