At 13,000 meters, the pilot fell asleep in the air. Probably because the high-altitude suit did not close the plexiglass of the helmet properly and the oxygen escaped in the part that remained open. As a result, the aircraft went into an intense fall and accelerated to such an extent that the main parts of the plane fell apart in the air.
Lt. Mihály Ladányi died.
