On 15 November 1951 a LOT Lisunov Li-2 was on route from Łódź to Kraków–Balice. Shortly after take-off while flying through Górki Duże near Tuszyn it flew into power lines, crashed and went into flames. All 15 passengers and 3 crew died. The Captain of the flight was Marian Buczkowski, father of a Polish actor Zbigniew Buczkowski. The official cause of the disaster was attributed to bad weather conditions (low clouds and fog) and pilot's error.

According to a journalist investigation, due to lack of documentation in LOT archives, the events leading to the crash might have been different. The Li-2 flew in from Szczecin that day and after landing Buczkowski pointed out that one of the engines may be faulty and refused to fly again. Threatened with a pistol by a Security officer who wanted to get to Kraków he reluctantly agreed. Due to the faulty engine the plane stalled, tipped over the power lines and crashed into a field.

On 27 November 2010 an obelisk was erected to commemorate Captain Buczkowski, the crew and passengers.
