Polish commision researching the accident submitted commentary to the report (148 pages), but - unfortunately - at the moment it's available in Polish only.

I'm not going to deny, that there are many reasons to blame Polish side for this crash.

But I can't resist the impression, that the Russians are trying to whitewash their "input".

They're obviously not interested in answring several important questions?

1) why the flight control ORDERED the crew to give up landing so late, seconds before the crash (see the command "GORIZONT 101", 2:26 of the You Tube recording).

2) why they didn't seal off the airfield and didn't send the plane somewhere else - despite horrible weather conditions, and despite the fact, that several minutes before the crash - a Russian military aircraft Il-76 tried to land (twice), almost crashed and finally gave up.

3) and probably the most important - why the Polish pilots heard from the Russian flight control the information "you're on the right track and right path" for such a long time - despite the fact, that in fact they were not (which is obvious, when one compares the time of the information given by the flight control - to the position of the plane)?
