During the flight, the engine of the aircraft stopped due to a turbine blade failure. The blade also cut a hydraulic line, causing the hydraulic fluid to leak and the aircraft to become unmanoeuvrable. The pilot, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, attempted to restart the engine by air, but failed and ejected from the aircraft at a low altitude.
Captain Árpád Wenger was not injured.
