LOT Polish Airlines Flight 703 was a plane that crash-landed about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of Rogóżno railway station, on 2 November 1988.
The aircraft involved, purchased in April 1966,[1] was a 22-year-old Antonov An-24B registered as SP-LTD and named Dunajec.
[7] The flight crew consisted of the Captain Kazimierz Rożek, who had 30 years of flying experience,[3][8] and first officer Waldemara Wolskiego.
[9] The report was later retracted, confirming the account of a local police officer who told The Associated Press that one person had been killed,[10] as officials from LOT Polish Airlines said that the confusion might have been caused by several passengers leaving the crash site, before making their way to a nearby road and hitching rides from motorists, leading authorities into initially presuming that they were dead.
[11] LOT Polish Airlines spokesman Jerzy Wojdylo stated that the weather was good and that eyewitnesses reported an eagle hitting the aircraft.
