There was a leak to the Polish media from "knowledgeable sources" present at black boxes recordings played. The man commented that overall, the atmosphere in the pilots' cabin was quite cheerful and relaxed, talks on private matters and on general matters, until the last seconds of the flight when the hell so to say suddenly broke out.

The pilots in the Smolesnk blog all found the leak very weird and imporable, as they find that there was absolutely nothing to be "cheerful and relaxed" about, in approach to Smolesnk-Northern, given the very minimalistic areodrome equipment, tricky terrain in approach and the awful fog. But, to the opposite, every man who wanted to live would be in quite, how to say, all hands on deck mode, in full concentration, close to alarm.
