Five individuals lost their lives and eight others sustained injuries on Monday when a Cessna 208 aircraft crashed into a hangar at a skydiving center amidst adverse weather conditions, as confirmed by authorities. Monika Nowakowska-Brynda, the spokesperson for firefighters, reported that the pilot of the plane and four individuals seeking shelter from the stormy weather inside the hangar were among the deceased. Furthermore, the police stated that two individuals suffered severe injuries, including a child, as conveyed by Sylwester Dabrowski, the provincial governor. Chrcynno, situated about 28 miles northwest of Warsaw, was the location of the tragic incident.
The injured individuals were promptly transported to hospitals in the Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki region with the assistance of firefighters and airborne ambulances. Katarzyna Urbanowska, another spokesperson for local firefighters, mentioned that rescuers were still examining the hangar in search of potential additional victims. The incident is currently under investigation by prosecutors and police to determine the cause of the accident.
This unfortunate event marks the most tragic skydiving-related accident in Poland since 2014, when a small plane crash in Topolow resulted in the loss of 11 lives. The gravity of the situation highlights the importance of thorough investigation and ensuring safety measures within the aviation industry.
