Circumstances:
The flight from Warsaw to Prag and Strasbourg was uneventful. During the stop in Strasbourg, the pilot informed his base that all was OK. The last leg to Paris-Le Bourget was completed in very good weather conditions. On final approach to Le Bourget Airfield, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a huge explosion, killing all five occupants. It appears that the pilot should abort the landing due to the presence of another aircraft taking off at the same time.
