A heroic Hungarian pilot saved 14 people before he crashed down

Something wrong happened with the plane, but Ottó F. provided enough time for the 14 parachuters on board to leave it before he crashed down. The manoeuvre was successful, but he died in the crash.

Nobody knows why

His family, friends, and the whole aviation community now mourns the 31-year-old Hungarian pilot and flight instructor who crashed down with his plane 70 kilometres away from Berlin, Germany. He was carrying parachuters who managed to get away from the plane, but Ottó was unable to land it, Borsonline reported. 

He took off with a Cessna 208, and at the beginning, everything was OK with the plane. His colleagues said that he probably knew before the crash that

something went wrong on the plane, 

so he manoeuvred above a territory where nobody lived. Therefore, his colleagues regard him as a hero of the aviation community.

Though the parachuters survived, they did not want to answer the questions of the German Abendblatt about the details. According to the media outlet, local police is now investigating the possible reasons for the tragedy. 

He never made a mistake in the last 10 years

Ottó F. has been working in Germany for almost 10 years as a pilot and flight instructor. One of his friends said that flying was in his blood, and he has been a professional pilot for six years. He added that Ottó learnt the basics at the University of Nyíregyháza, and even after that, he never stopped learning.
