@Lena.Kiev
The president visited the cockpit shortly before landing in order to pressure the crew to land

@LandIT

Actually, it wasn't a "presidential visit". Kaczyński hadn't been invited to pay a visit by an equivalent rank...

No idea. I only know what was leaked, that's effectively a rumour. For details we will have to wait still a bit longer. For some reason the QAR was handed to the experts (including manufacturer's...

Alice, please. It's not "Poles in Warsaw", it's "a few thousand mebers and supporters of a populist party whose leader wants to make a career on bashing Russians for everything". Quite a number of...

Well, to be precise, his post mortem revealed alcohol in his blood. But he might have had a few drinks on board of the PLF 101, so that he could have been described as "under influence of alcohol"...

by all means, certainly, of course, sure etc.

Well, I do find it a bit funny too, being told what a phrase in my native language can or cannot mean. Obviously, I'm not suggesting (I think nobody is) that the Yak crew somehow tried to convey a...

Really? We must've seen two different conferences then. In my version of Matrix they started with a general assertion that "ATC made many mistakes" and followed this with a detailed account of the...

Not to mention the fact that the third "black box" (the "service box") was sent to its Polish manufacturer to be read there. Any tampered data would have to miraculously agree with the third record...
