Alice, could you comment on what Vasili Yershov said on
the smolensk.forum.ws portal about the accident.

This is widely commented in Polish press and on Polish forums.

Generally what we hear, is that he blames
"extreme inexperience" of the Polish crew.

According to Polish media his main opinion was:

When landing in difficult weather conditions it is very important that each crew member works strictly according to procedures. Typical error in these situations is that all members of the crew, especially inexperienced, in a panic move tend to distract from their procedural obligations to "help" the commander in "search" of the earth. Normally, they eventually "find" it, as in the case. Such incidents in aviation history can not be numbered.
