My wife's family live in Kracow and her mum has just said that a tragic accident has happened about two hours ago.

Some air show has been taking place ove the past few days and a small plane crashed with four people on board.

For sure at least one dead and the othere are seriously burnt.

It's on the TV news.

Pictures show a Cessna 172 in a group of trees.

From where they live you can see Hute...if that helps???

I know we get the number 129 from PKP and they said it happened in the park right next to their block.

no. it was a built up area with a park. the plane came down in the park. TV pictures showed blocks of flats nearby.

I don't know Krakow. I can only relate what I saw on the news.

I think hairball is better informed on this.

I think its to the west of plac centralne, as the buildings look familiar to where i used to live.

Edit: So it crashed on park Tysiąclecia, to the west of nowa huta.
It took off from an old second world war airstrip that is still in use today, about 1km from the crash sight.
One man died, 2 men with 3rd degree burns, and one other who is in an ok condition.
RIP

The plane was probably too heavy. 4 people, max fuel and baggage. Witnesses say it had problems with taking off.
This is the runway in the city:

Planes making acrobatics sometimes fly a few meters over the crowd. I have been always worried about accidents, when we go to the picnic. We went yesterday too.

I visit Kraków maybe trwice a year so I'm not so clued up on the place....I just tend to follow the Mrs....cerriying everything. Beyond Huta I can see mountains. The crash did happen in a park in the middle of a block-flat area. And it's not too far from the city centre.
