Two versions of the readback by the Polish President.

The first was broadcasted by K2K and the readback by the pilot.

The pilot asks what the visibility was and then without pause readbacks what was told to him. There is no answer by Russian ATC, that has been removed.

1:27 - 1:41

Here is another version.

In this version you hear the question asked by the pilot on visibility and the keyed mic breaks and then the readback by the pilot.

There is no Russian response between the question asked on visibility by the pilot.

The above article is based on what the Russians have said and the Russians still have the black boxes. And it is an attempt to shift focus away from other pieces of evidence.

Moreover, since fog was not forecasted for Smolensk and three days prior, Tusk landed there, the Russian excuse doesn't cut it.

In other words if it was okay for Tusk to land, it should have been okay for the Polish president.

When the story broke on the crash, the Russian officials stated that ATC told the pilot that they should use Minsk or Moscow before they conducted their "fourth" attempt to land.

This story on the 4 approaches was published before the leaked voice recording of the pilot.

I want to know why the plane was observed from the ground well before the crash but supposedly, the pilots were blinded by fog!

There is little doubt in my mind that there was equipment failure - accidental or otherwise.
