Important development in this 8-years old investigation.
Have always felt that this was not an accident. Far too many fishy things about it and far too many obvious cover up efforts.
Why would the Poles not do a thorough investigation of the death of their own President? I don’t see a motive here.
The Soviets took the entire Polish officer corps deep into the Russian wilderness and MASSACRED them, then blamed it for decades on the "evil Nazis".

TO the best of my memory:
This Polish flight carried a Polish Gov. delegation that would commemorate in Russia a Dedication to the memory of the 1939 Katyn Forest Massacre.
The massacre, carried out by the NKVD (predicessor to the KGB) under the orders of Stalin, secretly destroyed the entire Polish officer corps after a long train ride deep into Russia.
Poles are naturaly wary of Russia but this mysterious crash on the way to such a deep Polish/Russian sore spot really took Polish suspicion (and that of any person with a brain) to a whole new level.
The finding of this investigator will only deepen that suspicion, which is probably a good thing.
The movie “Katyn” was both good and disturbing.

I believe in green aliens from the Planet Mongo, but I don’t have any evidence, so it is just as valid, right???
They died because of a disease called get-there-Itis, which causes pilots under pressure to complete the mission, to kill themselves and others. In this case, it was flying into horrible weather, even after trying to cancel the landing, and reportedly being ordered not to.
