"They were hitting us from all sides (...}" - as Capt. Boczoń later recalled - "Suddenly; we are flying down. We hit the engine. I don't feel like my body is riddled with shrapnel at all. We are flying at dizzying speed towards the ground. The cables whine. The pilot tries to save us from burning. With his last effort, he hits the chimney with his left wing. I hit the fittings with my face and I lose consciousness." After hitting the chimney of the house in the Zmyślona settlement, the RWD-8 fell down immediately. cities to earth.
