In the final phase of skiing, they flew in a group of wild geese. There was neither time nor altitude to restart the stalled engine, so the pilots ejected.
On the one hand, the rescue went well, but unfortunately, Maj. Antal Nagy, who was sitting in front and initiated the ejection, lost his life because his seat came out of the plane over a hill, so the height was not enough for the parachute to deploy. His companion, who got out of the plane above the valley, was saved.
