Kaczynski very likely in the cockpit with Blasik in the last moments, because someone new comes and they all greet him formally, the crew probing him to make the decision (we can't see anything, we can't see anything) but he does not do anything. Please note that the whole problem with both Kaczynskis has always been that they are people ignorant of pretty much everything but who would always see enemies and conspiracy whenever things would not go their way.
Let the President decide what to do
Many newly deciphered words concern Tupolev crew waiting on the decision of President Lech Kaczynski, try to land at Smolensk, or immediately leave the area (completely new deciphered phrases in bold).
8.26.25. PIC: Please, think it through and decide, what we should do.
8.26:32. PIC: We don't have enough fuel, to hang around [cruise around the airport waiting for the weather to change].
8.26.37: Kazana (protocol director). We have a problem then.
8.26.38: PIC: We can hang around for half an hour and then we must leave for the alternate
8.26.43: Kazana[probably]: And where is that alternate
8.26.44. PIC: Minsk or Witebsk
8.27.17: Kazana[probably]: Dear God!!!

8.30.26: Kazana: Still no decision of the President on what to do next

8.31.45 Unidentified: Yes or no? We have to finally chose that airport or decide something
It appears that a new person shows up in the cockpit:
8.36.41: Unidentified: Welcome, welcome
8.36.42: Engineer: Good morning.
8.36.57: PIC: We welcome you
8.37.00: 2nd pilot: O, **** look [probably regarding the weather]
8.37.56: Someone: He will get pissed off
8.38.05: General Blasik: Wing mechanization serves the purpose of
Two minutes later, begins with the last, dramatic phase of flight. About 8.39:37 crew gets permission to land - to descent to height of 120 m. At this height, the pilots need to see the ground, and if not - stop the landing and start to climb the machine. If they see the ground, they must tell the ATCs, and they eventually agree on the landing.
The crew repeatedly ignored the TAWS system warnings about approaching ground, and even auto-command "pull up" ("Up"), descends well below the decision height. In the last few seconds of flight in the cockpit of someone twice repeated: "We cannot see anything."
My comment:
Once again it is clear moron Kaczynski killed all these people. And the argument about the ATCs is now more less : the ATCs should have stopped the crew from trying to land because the crew was unable to refuse Kaczynski's idiocies. How much more STUPID can it get.
Too bad Russians screwed up the scene and did not determine right away where Kaczynski was for sure during crash. It would have saved everyone a lot of grief.
