The government of Poland has directed to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Russia the note with the requirement to give out fragments of plane Tu-154M which was broke near Smolensk in April, 2010 and which victim became the president of country Lech Kaczynski. About it write the Polish mass-media referring to diplomatic sources, the European truth passes. As it is marked, the Russian side has taken time up to the end of March to answer the note. Also in March to Russia there will arrive delegation of Poles which will engage in details

This incident occurred as the Polish delegation flew to Russia to attend the memorial services for the Polish military officers, enlisted men, and civilians who were killed at Katyn Forest in a mass murder by the Soviet Red Army in the 1939 invasion of Poland.
Putin declined to recognize the Polish delegation as an official diplomatic visit, so the Polish delegation insisted upon attending the memorial services in an unofficial capacity. Under circumstances which are still the subject of Polish investigations, the Polish Government is asking the Russian Government to end the delays in responding to the Polish investigators' requests for the prompt return of what remains of the Polish aircraft wreckage in Russia.
This story is expected to continue to develop into an increasing confrontation with Russia in the months and years to come.
Babelfish translation?
There are people who frequent this website who think Putin is an admirable leader.
No, ParaLink for part of the text and direct for other.
Thanks for clearing that up. I remember this news story and how fishy the incident/accident was... So many nagging, unanswered questions in the world today.. I believe all this coverage we’re subjected to is bad for our health. People who have “dropped out” of the media circus are the smart ones.
Well, he’s admirable to the Russians and we’d be a helluva lot better off if we had a leader like him.
You repulse me.
From all of the articles written about the accident and the reports of the Polish and Russian investigators, I agree that this was a case of pilot error with a secondary cause of pressure from the “top brass” to land instead of proceeding to an alternate with suitable weather. If it was a sniper bullet, as has been suggested, why didn’t the sniper bag them on their first approach?
Conspiracists can try to blame “Putin” all they want to for this, but the FACTS point to this being yet another in a long line of “Get-There-Itis” tragedies.
“Get-There-itis” has killed an awful lot of people since man began flying airplanes. It’s what killed John Kennedy, Jr., and it has killed a few of my friends over the years, including my first flight instructor.
Think about the situation. Plane-load of VIPS, all on a tight schedule. Bad weather, at or below minimums, and pressure to “get there”, so he shoots an approach in conditions he should have avoided.
It’s the same “Disease” that persuades a small plane owner, (or a corporate pilot wanting to keep his job), that the icing really isn’t “that” bad, and he could make it home tonight.
The same story can be repeated over and over, all over the world.
Protect yourself from ‘get-there-itis’

It’s a fancy name for “get-there-itis” — plan continuation bias, which is an unconscious cognitive bias to continue the original plan in spite of changing conditions — and it can be deadly for general aviation pilots.
Plan continuation bias was identified in a NASA Ames human factors study from 2004 which analyzed 19 airline accidents from 1991 to 2000 that were attributed to crew error. Out of those, almost half involved plan continuation bias.
The problem is in how it can manifest itself. The study offered that it becomes stronger as you near completion of the activity (e.g., approach your destination). It essentially impedes pilots from recognizing that they need to change their course of action and, because it’s unconscious, it often goes undetected.
It can also block subtle cues that conditions have changed. Situational awareness can become compromised in these scenarios, blinding the pilot from the outcome he is rapidly marching toward. It is probably no surprise that rapidly changing conditions also played a major role in many of these cases.

If he went below MDA “Minimum Decent Altitude” and did not execute a “go around,” it would be pilot error, period. What did the cockpit recorder say was going on during the approach?
In an American Registered Aircraft hits MDA the second in command would immediately take control of the craft if a go around was not being executed. On an approach down to minimums the second in command would be monitoring the approach even more closely than normal. Your ass depends on it!
