Narrative:
During takeoff, the left main runner exploded at a speed of 200 km/h. Some pieces of steel flew apart and punctured one of the fuel tanks. The machine, which caught fire, ran off the concrete, but stopped. The pilot activated the fire extinguishing system in the passenger compartment and left the plane in time, but after the high-pressure extinguishing gas ran out, the aircraft was fully engulfed in flames. First Lieutenant Ferenc Medzibrodszky was not injured.
