Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash

“This was actually one of the theories that one of my contacts also gave me.

Also, why did they allow the airplane with the journalists to land?

exactly, why did they allow the airplane with the journalists to land and not the presidents plane? ;)

in that case, then why didnt the yak pilot crash under stress?

wasnt the airport closed, not cleared for landing?

wasnt the airport closed, not cleared for landing?

except it was open for Tusk to land?

so was it closed due to weather or because it was decommissioned?

Based on the experience of the crew, it would seem that they were used to flying approaches which relied on decision height and not decision altitude. Combine that with the fact that the airport wasn't in the DB and gave warnings which caused the Captain the set standard pressure to shut it up...well, not good, not good. Simple fact is, if he would have been using the baro altimeter like he was supposed to, they'd probably still be alive, even after knowingly busting minimums (as they did).

1.8.2 Maps and approach charts
The crew had at their disposal approach charts of SMOLENSK NORTH, which were
copies of materials passed off to Polish Embassy in Moscow by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Russian Federation. On 09.04.2009, that outpost forwarded
29
said materials to the
Military Air Traffic Service Office of The Polish Armed Forces which passed them to the 36
Regiment

According to a statement by an employee of the Polish Embassy in Moscow, made on 5.05.2010,
a representative of the Polish Dep. at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation informed on
05.04.2010 that procedures for the year 2010 are just like those from 2009.

It seems some people are determined to find a conspiracy since it is easier for them to stomach than the truth.

conspired to divert the presidents plane, by defenition thats a conspiracy.

Polish media now (only now) report that there are witnesses who heard two explosions before the presidential Tu plunged to the ground - (I don't say anything about the nature of these explosions yet the fact remains that what we were fed by the mainstream media was a completely different picture and reasons for the catastrophe - a birch tree - no explosions were given any credit - this is the offficial stance of the Russians btw)

In any case - why on earth would the Russians want to assassinate an unpopular one-term Polish Head of State?

What could these explosions have been caused by?

why the hell did Russians kill Litvinienko???

1. He knew too much about Russian intelligence.

do you not see that if what you state is true Russia is not a normal civilized country one can have a proper relations with???

Shortly after the crash, a certain fellow was invited onto a panel of "experts" hosted by my Father-In-Law to discuss these matters. My teść wasn't very receptive to the gentleman's opinions and let him know so. Here is the open letter this fellow wrote to complain about his treatment, and his demand for apology from Radio Wrocław. The responses then are as poignant as the responses now. http://lubczasopismo.salon24.pl/consolamentum/post/237330,przyjaciel-n a-zawsze-czyli-o-redaktorze-sondeju

What Americans are doing with terrorists in Guantanamo

As a Pole or Mexican? :):):)

To the best of my knowledge, USA conquered much more Mexican lands in history than Russia stole from Poland.

but a lot of things seem very suspicious (like the treatment of the plane wreckage) -

now imagine that the Smoleńsk crash was actually a Russian terrorist act -

This is the problem. People 'imagine' a bit too much without going straight to the bottom line. The Russian government had no reason whatsoever to cause a plane crash. Nor did anybody else.
