You guys are going to have your hands full bouncing around between Russian, Polish and English languages and also Russian, Polish and Western ways of operating in general and operating the Tupolev in particular. You really don't want to quiet down and leave this one to the professionals for a while?

Why is it that we don't get people weighing in with amateur opinions on brain surgery? We do get them doing that with aviation and even rocket science but nobody seems to want to second-guess a brain surgeon.

Why I have to ask, is that unravelling the causes of a crash such as this one should be pretty complicated, tracing back the individual elements that led to the obvious disaster to try and read the intentions of a captain who is now not going to tell us anything, being quite dead as he is. We can only be fairly certain that he didn't intend to crash and die, when that lone certainty makes his allowing this chain of events to end in the way it did, when he bore the final responsibility for this event, deeply puzzling.

It is going to take a whole roomful of experts to get to the bottom of this so what a group of amateurs ping-ponging guesses and insults off each other hope to accomplish is just another puzzle to me. You might as well stare into your pachinko machine to prophesy where the next little steel ball will land.
