José Sanjurjo, keď ho upozorňovali, že jeho batožina v lietadle je príliš ťažká. Pri štarte lietadlo chytilo podvozkom pínie na konci letiska, Sanjurjo zahynul a caudillom sa stal ďalší sprisahanec - Francisco Franco.

Sanjurjo died in Estoril, Portugal, in a plane crash when flying back to Spain on July 20, 1936 in an aircraft piloted by Antonio Ansaldo. One of the main reasons of the crash was his very heavy luggage. Ansaldo warned him that bags were too heavy, but Sanjurjo answered him:

I need to wear proper clothes as the new caudillo of Spain.

Ironically, Sanjurjo chose to fly in Ansaldo's small airplane rather than a much larger and more suitable airplane that was available. It was an 8-passenger de Havilland Dragon Rapide, the same one which had transported Franco from the Canary Islands to Morocco. Sanjurjo apparently preferred the drama of flying with a "daring aviator".
