As a private pilot, it's clear to me that the investigation and accident report are transparent and accurate. The final decision with respect to any phase of an aircraft flight is the responsibility of the pilot in command. Sadly, the late President Kaczyński had a history of pressuring SPRP pilots to "be brave" and land state aircraft in risky conditions. Recall the now widely-reported Tbilisi incident when Kaczyński reportedly had the gall to enter the flight deck and order the pilot to attempt a landing when artillery was in use nearby. The attempt to blame Smoleńsk ATC as somehow being pawns of Moskwa by Kaczyński's surviving family is simply dishonest and unfair to the families of those who died in this accident along with Kaczyński. And propagating a campaign of conspiracy of this nature does Polish-Russian relations no good. May all of the victims RIP.

Th e crash is the result of Russian and the Polish officials working together to eliminate a common threat. The threat being a political group in Poland that is ideologicaly patriotic to the nation. Most people might not understand what im saying since they live in countries where all parties in their government are function in the interest of their nation. The reality in Poland is that after WW2 Polands government was not allowed to return back into the country. Instead the Russians installed its own Russian backed government that pacified the population and any resistance with an agenda to destroy Polish culture, Polish nationalism, Polish elites, The idea was to pacify the Poles and make them dependant on Russia as they slowly but steadily sucked the life and resources out of Poland. Well in the 1990's the official Russian backing had been finally severed. Every public sectory was never cleared of the foreign interests that controlled things since ww2. It all just had to happen in secret while casting an illusion on the public that things are getting better by allowing some nationalists some leeway. Well Kaczynski was nationalistic and had gotten too far at rebuilding the Polish society. He had made too many gains so he had to be eliminated. Now Tusk and Komorowski who as children had been raised by enemies of Poland run the country selling off assets, bowing down in any negotiation, allowe Poland to pay the highest rates for gas in europe becase truely at hart they despise Poles. They wish Poles were more like Germans or even Russians. They might see the victims of ww2 in Poland as a great tragedy but im sure they believe it was all necessary. There is no independent media in Poland. its all been bought out and is controlled by Russian and German interests for pennies on the dollar. So is the infrastructure of the country. The only hope is that more people wake up and start to care.

People of free world, if you can think logically think twice before posting your comments. That plane incident where Polish president was killed wasn't an accident. Can anyone explain WHY this is the first aircraft accident in the history of modern commerci al flying where the plane itself is not an object of investigation, and how on earth 18m long wing could make 120degress twist at the height of 5m (apparently in russia everything is possible)
