What i meant was , its kind of a Polish tradition to distrust the Russians , so Tusk is maybe just following that tradition , rather than actually finding anything wrong in the report...


What????

Wait a minute. Guys like you have criticized Kaczynski's people when ever they criticized the investigation against the Russians. Now you have Tusk, who does NOT belong to Kaczynski's political party (was a rival to Kaczynski) who is critical of the Russian version of events and now you just dismiss it as a "Polish tradition of distrusting Russians"???

Why all this defense of Russia? God forbid there is evidence that the Russians are human and made mistakes in this investigation or made mistakes at the Russian airtower and that some Poles merely observe and mention it.

I am not defending the Russians at all , if there is any evidence that they had a hand in causing this crash , then i will condem them as loud as anyone else , but there just isn,t , well none thats been revealed yet...???

As for Poles having a distrust of Russians , do you think its not true...??

Do you know of any nation on this planet that was not at war with somebody having some of its people accuse another country of deliberatly assasinating the passengers of a crashed airliner....???? I don,t...

Kaczynski killed by Russia, what do you think?

I guess i'm one of the few people that firmly believe russia is covering something up. I never trusted Russia, or Germany. If any fellow polish people out there i'd like to hear your thoughts. I'm in the states now and Americans generally don't care or talk about Poland, though many believe Russia shot down Kaczynski's plane

Osama killed by Obama, Kaczynski by Putin. . . .
What has this world come to?

I am really scared....

Yes, it is quite possible. They will be sure when Hollywood makes a film about it.

you should read more Rafał Ziemkiewicz (available on Rzeczpospolita daily website - www.rp.pl or his column on interia.pl
http://fakty.interia.pl/felietony/ziemkiewicz ) - there is some covering up on the Russian side and so there is also on the side of the Polish goverment (Ziemkiewicz lists some of the major lies in one of his articles) but there is very little (if anything) to support the notion that the plane was somehow downed

I also, think Russia had a hand in this killing of Polish leaders. But the media won't let us know the truth for many years.

Many? I doubt it. It's a ridiculous conspiracy theory. And don't forget rule number one - "All conspiracy theories turn out to be nonsense"

The media?

What does the media have to do it with it?

If you actually KNEW anything about Poland, you'd know that there are very vocal opposition media here - none of whom would have any qualms about publishing any real evidence about this plane crash.

But go on - tell us, how do you think Russia was involved?

Yeah...we went round and round in circles....but in the end most of us came to the conclusion that the crash was caused by a series of errors.... all of them Polish sadly....

sorry where did you get that rule from? one of Euclidean mathematics axioms? the consequence of general theory of relativity?

not that obvious - their is a serious version the plane did not work properly (and Russian ground flight control in Smolensk also made a couple of mistakes) - this is not to cast suspicion on Rusians - most probably the alleged malfunction of the plane (in a critical moment) was no consequence of any deliberate human action

not for certain - there is some serious suspicion something was wrong with an important flight automatic procedure - there were plenty of made-up alleged 'facts' in the media who were never friendly (to say the least) to Kaczyńskis (mostly Gazeta Wyborcza) (not to mention blatant lies by some members of the current government regarding the investigation that have been revealed)- quite recently there were tests performed to check how the twin plane of the crashed Tu-154M would behave in similar conditions - their outcome was partly revealed to the public

The only malfunction was the pilots thinking that looking out of the window is a better way to fly through fog than looking at the instruments and listening to the automated warnings.

Did someone from Poland crash in Russia again? You people don't seem to learn. Stop flying around there, Russians love shooting stuff out of the sky for no apparent reason. Also, quite often they shoot down their own planes and don’t tell anyone about it.

maybe you are right about what you write - I haven't read the transcripts - my excuse is some dialogues were supposedly made up by Gazeta Wyborcza ('tak lądują debeściaki') - (why don't they release the whole recording keeping it secret instead) - so it is important to know what version of the transcripts you actually mean

still you conveniently leave out what does not suit your theory and what actually became a consensus among Polish aviation experts who run the investigation
GrzegorzK  May 4, 11, 02:40    #651
Well my simple questin to everyone here is, if Russia has nothing to hide then why are they
1)refusing to allow any international investigation, and by refusing I mean the literally said they would REFUSE TO ALLOW any international investigations. In other words, any international investigation would lead to war with Poland and allies.(Nato, U.N., EU) etc.

2) Polish investigators admit they don't have all information they want and Russia has not allowed free access to Polish investigators only limited access

Ask yourselves this question if you are a true Pole and care about your country and people, how long did it take for Russia to admit they killed 20,000 of our people in Smolensk... 50 years?

All i'm saying is why should we blindly trust what anyone says let alone Russians who are notorious liars and hated Kaczynski because Kaczynski was very anti Russia and anti EU.

I'm sick of Poland getting **** on, our homeland was once a world superpower in the 17th century, now we are the doormat people walk on us all the time. We join the EU and the EU doesn't back us up, or do anything for us. We need to be smarter about our foreign policy or we will lose our country and our culture, if that means anything to you, if not get the hell out of my country and if you are Polish and don't care about your traditions then you can get the hell out as well, we don't need any abominations.
GrzegorzK  May 4, 11, 02:51    #652
Polish foreign policies are retarded and will get us into trouble. First of all, we joined the EU and NATO and we contribute to both, also U.N. and we also sign Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty banning us from building any nuclear weapons even for self defense... what would happen if Russia wanted to bomb Poland, Poland wouldnt even be able to defend herself, and you think for one second that Germany and France would back up Poland in a war against Russia?? Give me a break, this is madness. They would probably Sanction poland and run the other way.
GrzegorzK  May 4, 11, 02:54    #653
Its just hard to believe that a Modern European country like Poland flying to Russia with their President and full cabinet would crash simply because of some fog, this happens all the time, and i'm sure their pilots were experienced not just joe schmoe's. If it was a president of some 3rd world country I could understand.

They don't need to shoot them down - they just, eh, forget to connect and/or check automated control systems before take-off. Check this out:

That's actually the same type of plane as Kachinsky's.

Worth pointing out that you really can't compare a mothballed TU-154 with the TU-154M variants used by the Polish Air Force.

The results of those tests have never been made public - the only thing that's been made public is certain stuff published by certain newspapers - which can't be taken seriously as it's not official. What we know is that the button in question shouldn't work in similar circumstances - the TU-154M manuals make that clear.

Don't forget - there's one little bit of evidence which would immediately show plane malfunction - and that's the so-called Polish black box, which was decoded in Poland.

The only transcript that matters are the ones released by the investigating committee. But anyway, we have access to the CVR recording - it's in the video that was released by the Russians showing the flight in Russian airspace.

As for releasing it on the Polish side - from the beginning, it seems to me that the plan is to do a thorough, total investigation and then release everything at the end. Quite normal for aviation - apart from the AF447 crash, I don't know of any accident where the CVR/FDR data was released instantly.

Either way, we're still waiting for the result of the investigation. One sad thing is that although the Russian report has problems, it
does make a very good point - the Captain was a "nice guy" - and you don't *want* to have nice guys flying the President around.

I'm just still patiently waiting for the Polish report to be released.

GrzegorzK:

Who asked for an international investigation? Poland didn't - nor is it accepted practice in such circumstances. When that Belarusian plane crashed in Poland, who conducted the investigation? Poland.

GrzegorzK:
All i'm saying is why should we blindly trust what anyone says let alone Russians who are notorious liars and hated Kaczynski because Kaczynski was very anti Russia and anti EU.


He wasn't anti-EU for a start. And then, why would they bother to go to so much attention to kill Kaczynski in Russia and draw so much attention to themselves? He didn't have political power, he was about to be defeated in a landslide in the election - why bother?

And yet you live in the US. HAHAHAHAHA.

Tell you what - practice what you preach and come back and make Poland great. We need people like you, who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of the country.

from the leaks to the press it worked on the simulation flight of the twin Tu-154M - but maybe you are right that Russian manuals state that it should not (or at least should not be relied on) in the specific circumstances during the fatal flight - I tend to take such things with caution because Gazeta Wyborcza already fabricated this and that about the flight - and similarily current Polish government lied on the matter (some lies were simply blatant - like Mrs Kopacz claiming she was taking part in the post mortems - similarily the Russian body that 'investigated' the matter lied in post mortem results - Mr Wassermann's post mortem described some body parts he had removed in operation before according to Mr Wassermann's daughter

I'd love to know the truth about this - if it worked, then what the hell is going on? The Russian manuals show that the button can't work in this circumstance - but it's entirely possible that the Polish had made their own modifications to allow it. But if so - why were they using standard LOT manuals instead of ones written specifically for that variant?

I tend to take such things with caution because Gazeta Wyborcza already fabricated this and that about the flight - and similarily current Polish government lied on the matter (some lies were simply blatant - like Mrs Kopacz claiming she was taking part in the post mortems - similarily the Russian body that 'investigated' the matter lied in post mortem results - Mr Wassermann's post mortem described some body parts he had removed in operation before according to Mr Wassermann's daughter


This is actually one big problem - it seems that everyone is twisting things to suit themselves.

The real question for me is the issue of training - I don't care if PiS cancelled simulation training or not, there's absolutely no excuse for the multitude of verifiable mistakes made within the Air Force and leading up to this flight - starting with the inexperience of the crew and potential non-current certification of them.

Merged: Gun shots after Polish plane crash

Even thought this has been over a year old, I don't think is has been mentions in this forums before, or at least I haven't been able to find it. It it was already discussed, just lock this, but if not...

I don't know what surprised me more, the video itself or that's I just saw it now.
