After his arrival to Poland Mr. Kich gave an interview to the private
TVN24 television.

It was not pressure, but ...

Among other matters, he confirmed that somebody
was still in the cabin 1 minute before impact.

"Klich would not confirm these reports (that it was Blasik), nor whether the person of the recording died in the cockpit - I do not confirm, I do not deny - he said. - I know, but I am not authorized to betray the details. I know, but I can not share it - he concluded"


He didn't want to confirm the identity of this person as Gen, Blasik,
Chief in Command of PAF at that time.

Mr. Klich confirmed, a voice belonging to a non-crew
was recorded 1 min. before accident.
He admits, in contrary to his earlier opinion, that just the
"presence of a person" could have been a "pressure on landing" factor,
although no words to this effect were spoken or registers.

It could also be a distraction to the crew.

He also conformed, although not directly, that the QFE value given to
the crew by the ATC was correct.
Asked directly by the journalist Klich confirmed:
"They knew their barometric altitude."


He kept refusing to give any further details, claiming that the CVR
transcripts were given to him personally as to a member of the
commission, by Mr. Morozov, and he promised to keep them confidential.
