Kłamstwo smoleńskie a czas wydarzeń

35stan

35stan

ciąg dalszy ...

Wynika z tego wniosek, ze brytyjska stacja nadawała w tym samym czasie lokalnym co stacja polska, czyli w Polsce media nadawały z 1-dno godzinnym opóźnieniem.

Jeśli dodamy do tego fakt, przedstawiony wprost przez hiszpańskojęzyczną stację rosyjską Russia Today , która relacje o wydarzeniach z tego dnia podawała w czasie rosyjskim zimowym(UTC/GMT+3) , to wniosek o zmanipulowanym czasie zdarzeń związanych z tzw. katastrofą smoleńską, należy uznać za słuszny.

Na koniec pytanie skierowane do obu grup blogerów (tych popierających Raport KBWLLP i tych popierających raporty ZP):

Jak długo jeszcze będziecie traktować z powagą i nabożeństwem te dokumenty, które z takim zapałem obrabiacie, broniąc ich rzekomej prawdziwości?"]

3 Ważne PUZZLE na drodze Smoleńskiej:

w dniu 9 kwietnia 2010 roku Stewardessa śp. Justyna Moniuszko była na pokładzie samolotu w locie do Smoleńska.

 

 

 

 

Pamięci Ojca Justyny Moniuszko śp. Zdzisława Moniuszko DEDYKUJĘ tę pracę powstałą na MATERIAŁACH Kapitana Nemo S”: Przyjaciela ze Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej

 

Moja HIPOTEZA: DO wypadku TU154M (102?) doszło w dniu 9 kwietnia 2010 roku w godzinach popołudniowych. LOT767SP-LPA  i dalsze…

, pisał piątek 09 kwietnia 2010 15:42:16 czasu lokalnego

 

Do Katynia udała się Pielgrzymka ze 132 Osobami na pokladzie. 87 Osób z Nich poniosło ŚMIERĆ. Reszta jest ZAKŁADNIKAMI TEGO WYDARZENIA TRAGEDII SMOLEŃSKIEJ, TRAGEDII NARODOWEJ KTÓRA MOGŁA ROZPOCZĄĆ WOJNĘ.

 

Początki Tragedii Narodowej to kłótnie w rodzinie od 1 września 2009 rokuna Westerplatte. Rodzi się na naszych oczach Nowa TARGOWICA XXiw.

 

Miejsce Tragedii to z bardzo dużym prawdopodobieństwem „Diabelski PRUD” nieopodal Peczorska.

Justysia szybuje wysoko w chmurach

Cze­kam na te­le­fon od żony, po­je­cha­ła do Mo­skwy po naszą có­recz­kę. Ju­sty­sia wróci do domu. W trum­nie - pła­cze Zdzi­sław Mo­niusz­ko, oj­ciec ste­war­des­sy, która w so­bo­tę zgi­nę­ła pod Smo­leń­skiem.

Zdzi­sław Mo­niusz­ko stara się być twar­dzie­lem. Na py­ta­nia od­po­wia­da krót­ko, rze­czo­wo, lekko ści­szo­nym gło­sem. Po chwi­li jed­nak pęka. Roz­kle­ja się. Pła­cze szcze­rze, uczci­wie, tak jak oj­ciec pła­cze po stra­cie uko­cha­nej córki. Zwie­rza się.

- Wpa­dła na świę­ta. Tylko na chwi­lę, bo cią­gle była w roz­jaz­dach. Już mu­sia­ła le­cieć do Gdań­ska, do pre­mie­ra Tuska. Opo­wia­da­ła, że zaraz po świę­tach co chwi­la bę­dzie w po­dró­ży do Ka­ty­nia i Smo­leń­ska. Dzień przed ka­ta­stro­fą też tam była, nawet le­cia­ła tym samym sa­mo­lo­tem. To la­ta­nie to było całe jej życie. Szyb­ko je stra­ci­ła, za szyb­ko - wspo­mi­na ostat­nie spo­tka­nie z córką pan Zdzi­sław.

W so­bo­tę włą­czył radio. Spi­ker mówił już o tra­ge­dii pod Smo­leń­skiem. Czar­no zro­bi­ło mu się przed ocza­mi. Prze­cież tam jest moja córka - po­my­ślał. Chwy­cił za te­le­fon, wy­krę­cił numer do Ju­sty­ny. Nie od­bie­ra­ła. Znów mgła za­szła mu na oczy. Po chwi­li iskier­ka na­dziei. Może jesz­cze lecą, może spi­ker się po­my­lił, może jest za­ję­ta i nie może ode­brać te­le­fo­nu. Może nie wsia­dła do tego prze­klę­te­go sa­mo­lo­tu, prze­sia­dła się do in­ne­go. I żyje. Wszyst­ko z nią w po­rząd­ku. Tylko za­ję­ta jest, dla­te­go nie może ode­brać. Jedna myśl go­ni­ła drugą.

Ale Ju­sty­na wsia­dła do rzą­do­we­go Tu­po­le­wa. To był jej kurs, od dwóch lat la­ta­ła z pre­zy­den­tem. Do tego z pre­mie­rem, mar­szał­kiem sejmu, mi­ni­stra­mi. Po całym świe­cie - od Afga­ni­sta­nu przez Stany Zjed­no­czo­ne, po Bruk­se­lę. Ostat­ni lot - Smo­leńsk. So­bo­ta. 8:56.

- Przy­je­chał Marek Mi­łosz, pilot, który kilka lat temu roz­bił się śmi­głow­cem z Lesz­kiem Mil­le­rem na po­kła­dzie. Pra­co­wał z moją córką. Razem la­ta­li rzą­do­wy­mi sa­mo­lo­ta­mi, słu­ży­li w tym samym pułku. Był wzru­szo­ny - wspo­mi­na oj­ciec ste­war­des­sy.

Bia­ły­stok, ro­dzin­ne mia­sto Ju­sty­ny za­pła­ka­ło. Ktoś ze zna­jo­mych wy­sta­wił jej zdję­cie prze­pa­sa­ne kirem. Ktoś inny za­pa­lił znicz. Potem po­ja­wi­ły się ko­lej­ne. Lu­dzie za­czę­li dzwo­nić do domu Mo­niusz­ków. Nawet ci, co znali ją tylko z wi­dze­nia. Skła­da­li kon­do­len­cje, współ­czu­li.

- To miłe, ale co to po­mo­że. Co po­mo­że, psy­cho­log, po­kle­py­wa­nie po ple­cach. Nasza Ju­styn­ka zgi­nę­ła. Całe życie miała przed sobą. A już jej nie ma - mówi oj­ciec. I ner­wo­wo cho­dzi po miesz­ka­niu. Czeka na te­le­fon od żony. Po­je­cha­ła do Mo­skwy zi­den­ty­fi­ko­wać zwło­ki. Stoi w ko­lej­ce do kost­ni­cy. Jest w czwar­tej gru­pie ro­dzin. Na razie zmar­łych bli­skich szu­ka­ją ro­dzi­ny z pierw­szej grupy. Tej naj­waż­niej­szej.

Chcia­ła latać

W lipcu skoń­czy­ła­by 25 lat. Od dziec­ka nie mogła usie­dzieć na miej­scu. Chcia­ła latać. Pierw­szy raz ze spa­do­chro­nem sko­czy­ła na obo­zie har­cer­skim, jesz­cze jako na­sto­lat­ka. Póź­niej był już ae­ro­klub w Bia­łym­sto­ku. Tam od­da­ła ponad 250 sko­ków, przez sześć lat. Sporo, jak na swój wiek.

- Pół ekipy się w niej pod­ko­chi­wa­ło. Pięk­na była. Do tego cały czas uśmiech­nię­ta. Wszy­scy ją lu­bi­li. Jej po pro­stu nie dało się nie lubić - wspo­mi­na Jerzy Pło­now­ski, który uczył Ju­sty­nę ska­kać ze spa­do­chro­nem.

Ostat­ni raz wi­dzie­li się ponad roku temu. Bia­ły­stok za­czął być za cia­sny dla Ju­sty­ny. Naj­pierw wy­je­cha­ła do Rze­szo­wa, na stu­dia.  Chcia­ła być pi­lo­tem. La­ta­ła na szy­bow­cach. Póź­niej prze­nio­sła się do War­sza­wy. Za­czę­ła pracę w LOT, po roku prze­nio­sła się do rzą­do­we­go pułku. Speł­nia­ła swoje ma­rze­nia i znów pod­bi­ja­ła serca. Czte­ry lata temu zo­sta­ła miss Po­li­tech­ni­ki War­szaw­skiej. Za­ko­cha­ła się. Teraz Paweł też po­le­ciał do Rosji. Po­że­gnać się z uko­cha­ną. Zo­ba­czyć jej zwło­ki.

W Pol­sce zo­sta­li przy­ja­cie­le. Kłócą się ze świa­tem. - Jakie strasz­nie nie­spra­wie­dli­we i okrut­ne to życie. Takie dziew­czy­ny muszą od­cho­dzić. Bądź szczę­śli­wa, gdzie­kol­wiek teraz je­steś. Może spo­tkasz Tam mo­je­go syna, też pięk­ne­go, mą­dre­go chło­pa­ka, któ­re­go po­ko­nał no­wo­twór, po rocz­nej walce - na­pi­sa­ła na forum in­ter­ne­to­wym Po­li­tech­ni­ki War­szaw­skiej ano­ni­mo­wa ko­bie­ta.

Kamil, ko­le­ga Ju­sty­ny ze stu­diów, dodał: "Wciąż nie mogę uwie­rzyć. Nie wie­rzę. Ju­sty­na, ode­zwij się, gdy wró­cisz".

Ale ona nie wróci. Wy­so­ko szy­bu­je w chmu­rach. Razem z Basią i Na­ta­lią. Po cichu po­wta­rza swoje motto - droga do celu jest rów­nie ważna jak on sam.

Prasa jest wspomnieć, że polskie zespoły powiedzieć samolot rozbił się na podejściu, tuż na końcowy to uderzył w drzewo, a następnie udał się na ogniu do czasu, gdy uderzył w pas startowy. Nie wydaje się dobre. Ale media mogą się mylić, jak zwykle. Miejmy nadzieję.

Czytaj w polskiej gazecie, że samolot znajdował się na podejściu, ale z powodu gęstej mgły, uznanej nieudanego podejścia i udał się z odejściem. Podczas toczenia, że został złapany na niektórych drzew. To według niektórych rosyjskich urzędników, że papier został cytowania. Myślę, że samolot był około 40 lat, a od tego, co czytam, tylko polski rząd niedawno nakazał nowe samoloty wykonawczych. / Milan320

Jaroslaw Kaczynski: PRAWDĘ O SMOLEŃSKU MUSI USŁYSZEĆ POLSKA I CAŁY ŚWIAT

Posted by Włodek Kuliński - Wirtualna Polonia w dniu 2010-07-14

„Leszek zadzwonił o 8.20. Myślałem, że już wylądował i dzwoni ze Smoleńska. Bardzo rzadko dzwonił z telefonu satelitarnego z samolotu. Powiedział mi, że z Mamą wszystko w porządku, i poradził, bym się przespał”. Z Jarosławem Kaczyńskim rozmawiają Katarzyna Gójska-Hejke i Tomasz Sakiewicz („Gazeta Polska”).

 

fot. jaroslawkaczynski.info

Czy czuł Pan niepokój przed podróżą Brata do Katynia? 
Dla mnie sprawa zaczęła się wówczas, gdy zakwestionowano prawo wyjazdu prezydenta z rodzinami katyńskimi na coroczne uroczystości upamiętniające zamordowanych polskich oficerów. Podkreślam słowo coroczne, bo to właśnie 10 kwietnia każdego roku, a nie jak premier 7 kwietnia, organizowano wyjazd na cmentarz katyński. Tymczasem po telefonie Władimira Putina do Donalda Tuska członkowie jego gabinetu zaczęli ogłaszać wprost, że do Katynia nikt prezydenta nie zaprasza i jego wyjazd na obchody 70. rocznicy tej zbrodni nie jest koniecznością i powinnością, ale czymś w rodzaju niezrozumiałej zachcianki. Ku mojemu zdumieniu rozpoczęło się podważanie prawa Lecha Kaczyńskiego do udziału w tej uroczystości. Muszę przyznać, że choć atak był kuriozalny, nawet jak na obyczaje gabinetu Tuska i jego medialnych sojuszników, to jednak nie wzbudził we mnie jakiegoś szczególnego zdziwienia, a wiedziałem już, że są zdolni posunąć się bardzo daleko. Niepokoiło, że tym razem wprost grają z Rosjanami. 

Prezydent wahał się, czy pojechać do Katynia? 
Absolutnie nie. Przez pewien czas nie było jednak pewne, jak się tam uda i jak ten wyjazd zostanie zorganizowany. Później – nie pamiętam dokładnie kiedy – pojawiła się koncepcja dwóch wyjazdów. Premier oddzielnie i prezydent oddzielnie. Lech Kaczyński miał jechać razem z coroczną delegacją środowisk katyńskich, a Donald Tusk specjalnie do Putina. Chcę mocno podkreślić, że organizatorem tego corocznego wyjazdu środowisk katyńskich był rząd. Prezydent poleciał do Katynia rządowym samolotem. Nie prezydenckim – bo takiego nie było i nie ma. To rząd Donalda Tuska dużo wcześniej odmówił głowie państwa prawa do korzystania z tupolewa. Dopiero po katastrofie ministrowie i sam premier zaczęli nazywać ten samolot prezydenckim. To dość znamienne. Tym bardziej że prezydentowi usiłowano odmówić samolotu niejeden raz. Tak było przed słynnym wyjazdem do Tbilisi, gdy Gruzję zaatakowały wojska rosyjskie. Premier Tusk chciał odmówić Lechowi Kaczyńskiemu prawa do polecenia rządowym samolotem. Uległ po telefonie prezydenta Busha do prezydenta RP. Prezydent USA z całą mocą poparł wtedy plan Lecha Kaczyńskiego. Donald Tusk przestraszył się międzynarodowej kompromitacji i wycofał swoje zastrzeżenia. 

Pan też miał polecieć do Smoleńska 10 kwietnia? 

Tak. Nie poleciałem z powodu stanu zdrowia Mamy. Było dla nas oczywiste, że przynajmniej jeden z nas musi przy niej być. Wcześniej nawet nocami razem czuwaliśmy w szpitalu. Z natury rzeczy to ja, a nie mój brat, musiałem zrezygnować z lotu do Smoleńska. 

Nie miał Pan jakichś przeczuć przed tą podróżą Brata? Nie bał się Pan tym razem o Niego? 
Wolałem, żeby Leszek jechał pociągiem – taki specjalny pociąg wyjechał z Warszawy do Smoleńska. To pamiętam bardzo dobrze. I nawet do pewnego momentu Brat też chciał tak zrobić. Ostatecznie zdecydował się na lot samolotem, bo wcześniej musiał polecieć do Wilna na spotkanie z panią prezydent Litwy. Ale to oznaczało, że nie będzie mógł pojechać pociągiem z rodzinami katyńskimi. Przyznam, iż zmartwiłem się tym. Jednak nie przeczuwałem zbliżającej się katastrofy. Muszę też powiedzieć, że od jakiegoś czasu namawiałem prezydenta, by zrezygnował z latania tupolewami. Mówiłem to także jego współpracownikom. Wszyscy rozkładali ręce i mówili: „to czym latać?”. Mówiąc wprost, to były takie graty, że nikt się nimi nie powinien poruszać. 

Kiedy po raz ostatni widział Pan Brata? 

W szpitalu u Mamy. To było późnym wieczorem w piątek. Rozmawiał ze mną, z Mamą i z prezydenckim lekarzem, który następnego dnia także zginął. Ja również rozmawiałem z panem docentem Lubińskim. Pamiętam, że pytałem go nawet, jakim samolotem polecą do Smoleńska. Przez pewien czas byłem przekonany, że będzie to JAK, a nie tupolew. Nawet myślałem, że to może lepiej. Później jednak przypomniałem sobie wszystkie awarie JAK-ów. 10 kwietnia o 6 rano Leszek obudził mnie telefonem. Później zadzwonił o 8.20. Myślałem, że już wylądował i dzwoni ze Smoleńska. Bardzo rzadko dzwonił z telefonu satelitarnego z samolotu. Powiedział mi, że z Mamą wszystko w porządku, i poradził, bym się przespał. Pamiętam doskonale, że użył określenia: „bo się rozpadniesz”.  

Tylko o tym Pan rozmawiał wtedy z Panem Prezydentem? 
Dokładnie. Tak wyglądała ta bardzo krótka rozmowa. Dosłownie kilka zdań. Zresztą pamiętam, że zerwało połączenie. 

Nie zdziwiło to Pana? 
Nie. Bo za każdym razem gdy rozmawiałem z Bratem przez telefon satelitarny podczas lotu – a powtarzam, było zaledwie kilka takich przypadków – połączenie się zrywało. Te rozmowy były bardzo krótkie. Dosłownie kilkuzdaniowe. 

Jak się Pan dowiedział o katastrofie? 

Przyznam, że nie posłuchałem rady Leszka. Nie położyłem się spać, tylko ubierałem się i szykowałem do odwiedzenia Mamy. Akurat goliłem się, gdy zadzwonił telefon. Byłem pewien, że to brat telefonuje już ze Smoleńska. Usłyszałem jednak jakiś nieznajomy glos. Chyba był to któryś ze współpracowników ministra Sikorskiego. Później słuchawkę przejął sam minister. Poznałem go. Nie miałem cienia wątpliwości, że stało się coś złego. Dowiedziałem się, że doszło do katastrofy. Rozbił się samolot. Wszyscy zginęli. Powiedziałem mu: „To jest wynik waszej zbrodniczej polityki – nie kupiliście nowych samolotów”. Na tym rozmowa się skończyła

Czy minister Sikorski odpowiedział na te słowa? 
Nie. Chyba zresztą sam odłożyłem słuchawkę. Po kwadransie był następny telefon. Miałem cień nadziei, że może jednak ktoś przeżył. Znów dzwonił Sikorski i kategorycznie stwierdził, że katastrofa była wynikiem błędu pilota. Pamiętam jego słowa: „to był błąd pilota”. 

Nie miał wątpliwości co do tego? Już wtedy wiedział, że zawinił pilot? 
Tak. Oznajmił mi to zdecydowanie i jednoznacznie. Teraz myślę, że zarówno Sikorski, jak i sam Tusk bali się, że publicznie powtórzę to, co powiedziałem Sikorskiemu podczas pierwszej rozmowy telefonicznej. Jednak moje myśli skierowane były wtedy całkowicie na Mamę. W jej stanie nie przeżyłaby tej strasznej informacji. Popędziłem do szpitala i poprosiłem o stworzenie Mamie takich warunków, by uchronić ją przed wiadomością o śmierci Leszka. Nie było to proste – leżała na 8-osobowej sali. W szpitalu lekarze podali mi środki uspokajające. Bardzo mi pomogły. Gdy zabezpieczyłem Mamę, miałem już tylko jeden cel – jak najszybciej pojechać do Smoleńska. 

Kto zorganizował tę podróż? 
Przyjaciele. Szczególnie muszę wyróżnić Staszka Kostrzewskiego. Był ze mną też mój cioteczny brat. Bardzo pomógł Paweł Kowal. Początkowo wydawało się, że to nierealne, ale dzięki ich determinacji udało się. Wynajęli samolot. Lotnisko w Smoleńsku zostało zamknięte, polecieliśmy zatem do Witebska na Białorusi. Wcześniej namawiano mnie, bym poleciał z Donaldem Tuskiem. 

Kto namawiał? 
Nie pamiętam. Dzwonił ktoś od premiera. Miałem wrażenie, że Donald Tusk zdecydował się polecieć do Smoleńska wtedy, gdy dowiedział się, że ja tam lecę. Być może się mylę, ale tak to zapamiętałem. Nie chciałem jednak lecieć z premierem. Poleciałem z przyjaciółmi. Wylądowaliśmy zresztą w Witebsku przed Tuskiem. Strona białoruska zachowała się bardzo poprawnie. Na lotnisku czekał autokar i samochódosobowy. Wsiedliśmy i ruszyliśmy w drogę do Smoleńska. Po drodze zorientowaliśmy się, że tempo jazdy jest spowalniane. Dziś wiem, że nasze postoje i powolne tempo jazdy były wymuszone przez ścigającą nas delegację z premierem Tuskiem, który koniecznie chciał dotrzeć do Smoleńska przed nami. W pewnym momencie limuzyna z Donaldem Tuskiem minęła nas i dopiero wtedy pozwolono nam normalnie jechać. To była zresztą jakaś kompletna paranoja. Bo jeśli premier polskiego rządu ścigał się ze mną, kto pierwszy dojedzie do miejsca katastrofy, to widocznie szczególnie zależało mu, by się tam pokazać. Państwo wybaczą, ale nie jestem w stanie nawet zrozumieć takiej mentalności. Ja jechałem do ciał moich najbliższych – do Leszka, Marylki, Przyjaciół. To, co wyrabiał wówczas pan Tusk, po prostu nie mieści mi się w głowie. 

Ma Pan pewność, że was zatrzymywano celowo? 
Nie mam co do tego wątpliwości. Rozmawialiśmy z kierowcą. Mówił nam „nie lzja”. Ale jak limuzyna z premierem Tuskiem bez zatrzymania nas minęła, rozkaz przestał obowiązywać. Dopiero w Smoleńsku znowu nas spowalniano. W pewnym miejscu zaczęliśmy dosłownie kręcić się w kółko, zanim dotarliśmy do lotniska, które znajduje się przecież niedaleko centrum Smoleńska. 

W kampanii prezydenckiej unikał Pan wypowiedzi o katastrofie smoleńskiej. Czy teraz też tak będzie?
Nie chciałem, by śmierć moich najbliższych stała się głównym tematem kampanii wyborczej. Jednak jest sprawą zupełnie oczywistą, że państwo polskie nie może przejść do porządku nad tą niespotykaną wprost tragedią. Uczynię wszystko, by wyjaśnić przyczyny katastrofy samolotu rządowego. To jest dziś dla mnie najważniejsze i osobiście, i politycznie. Będę zabiegał o wyciągnięcie konsekwencji nie tylko prawnych wobec tych, którzy mogli przyczynić się do tego zdarzenia, ale także politycznych i moralnych. Ustalenie osób odpowiedzialnych politycznie za katastrofę smoleńską nie wymaga śledztwa. Ale to trzeba powiedzieć w odpowiednim momencie tak, by usłyszała o tym cała Polska i cały świat.

Tu-154 był w Smoleńsku 9.04, a 7.04 Tusk poleciał Casą

Ojciec Justyny Moniuszko twierdzi, że córka poleciała dzień wcześniej do Smoleńska, czyli w piątek 9. kwietnia. Co więcej, była na pokładzie tego samego samolotu - Tu-154 101.

"- Wpadła na święta. Tylko na chwilę, bo ciągle była w rozjazdach. Już musiała lecieć do Gdańska, do premiera Tuska. Opowiadała, że zaraz po świętach co chwila będzie w podróży do Katynia i Smoleńska. Dzień przed katastrofą też tam była, nawet leciała tym samym samolotem. To latanie to było całe jej życie. Szybko je straciła, za szybko - wspomina ostatnie spotkanie z córką pan Zdzisław". 

wiadomosci.onet.pl/raporty/katastrofa-smolenska/justysia-szybuje-wysoko-w-chmurach,1,3355107,wiadomosc.html

Podobnie mówi dla "Lotniczej Polski":

"– Dzień przed katastrofą też była w Smoleńsku, tym samym samolotem – mówi Zdzisław Moniuszko. – A jeszcze wcześniej latała z premierem."

lotniczapolska.pl/Odeszla-Justyna-Moniuszko--stewardessa-z-Bialegostoku,12769

 

Jakim samolotem leciał Tusk 7. kwietnia?

Barbara Maciejczyk leciała 7. kwietnia do Smoleńska z premierem Tuskiem, ale nie Tu-154, ale Casą!  Informacja pochodzi od dziennikarza Radia Zet, Sławomira Krenczyka, który opisuje niewygodny lot Casą 7.kwietnia do Smoleńska i który nawet miał przyjemność rozmawiać z Barbarą Maciejczyk.

 "Stewardessa w Smoleńsku była już trzy dni wcześniej. Leciała z delegacją, której przewodniczył Donald Tusk.Wtedy udało jej sie szczęśliwie wrócić do domu. O przedostatnim locie Maciejczyk wspomina jeden z dziennikarzy, którzy w środę byli na uroczystościach w Katyniu. Tyle, że wtedy delegacja wraz z dziennikarzami na miejsce poleciała nie tupolewem, ale wojskowym samolotem CASA.

- Warunki mieliśmy spartańskie. Siedzieliśmy obok siebie na wąskich, niewygodnych ławach i rozmawialiśmy całą drogę. Uśmiechnięta,
ciepła, pełna życia dziewczyna opowiadała mi o swoim marzeniu z młodości, gdy chciała zostać pilotem. 

- Wspominała o tym, że niedawno dostała mundur i chętnie go zakłada, bo dzięki niemu już się tak nie wyróżnia na pułkowej stołówce. Mówiła, że nie chce latać w cywilnych liniach lotniczych - mówi Sławek Krenczyk, reporter Radia ZET".

Już chyba nie ma teraz wątpliwości, że Tu-154 nie poleciał do Smoleńska 7. kwietnia.

BBC has breaking news that plane with the Polish President has crashed on approach to Smolensk.

And a brief 
story has now been put up but I expect will be updated with the tragic news.

Would this have been a chartered LOT plane, or does the Polish Air Force still have their Tu154?

I think it is the Tu-154, the last picture taken of the Polish Tupolev on airliners.net is from 25th of March 2010.


Sad situation, RIP.

Press is mentioning that Polish teams say the aircraft crashed on approach, right on final it hit a tree and then went on fire by the time it hit the runway. Doesn't seem good. But media can be wrong as usual.
Let's hope.

No information on the aircraft. I just tuned in to N24 but no information so far except for the breaking news ticker. Any additional information available says that 84 people died in the crash, including Lech Kaczynski and his wife.

Unless he always travels with a big staff, my guess is that the aircraft was civilian.

EDIT: N24 is now presuming that it was indeed the Presidential Tu-154. They also say that the landing was apparently in the fog.

If at least 87 people were on board, it can't be the Yak-40. so I guess it's probably a Tu-154.

Just reported on the news by the Polish Authorities : No survivors. The President of Poland and several Polish Officials and families were on board.
Mr Kaczynski was due to visit Smolensk to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, when Soviet troops killed thousands of Poles.

The plane hit trees on approach, crashed and caught fire.

MSNBC is reporting 132 were aboard - 87 dead - no survivors...... Obviously still a lot of confusion at this point. 

Russian news agencies reported at least 87 people died in the crash near Smolensk airport in western Russia, citing the Russian Emergencies Ministry. They reported 132 people were aboard the Tupolev Tu-154. 

Polish state news agency PAP said there were no survivors. 


People often post what they see in the media, and we all know the media doesn't know what they're doing when it comes to aviation.

RIP to all aboard, what a sad day for Poland.

I think the general interest in the civilian aspect of this crash warrants that it stays here.

Especially since it looks like a good chunk of the Polish leadership has just been wiped out. The president, the leader of the opposition, the deputy secretary of state, the leader of the National Security Bureau, the Chief of Staff, and the list goes on.

Be nice - I doubt it was intentional. People often post what they see in the media, and we all know the media doesn't know what they're doing when it comes to aviation.


Quite true - and further to my post about Sky News' reporting of the President's "confirmed" death, I should just clarify that that assertion is coming from reports from Smolensk government officials that there were apparently no survivors. No word of who these officials might be, and how in the loop they are on these details, so of course - as with all breaking news situations - we must treat all news that comes out as being dubious until confirmed by multiple reliable sources. 

For what it's worth, BBC News has also just mentioned claims by Russian news agencies that there were 132 people on board, but they've rightly labelled that claim as 'unconfirmed' and their own reportage is sticking with the total number of souls on board as 87. 

On a personal note, I'd also like to add my sympathies to the people of Poland, and indeed to our Polish friends here on A.net for the loss to their nation; perhaps some here may have disagreed with the policies of President Kaczynski, but a national and human tragedy such as this really does transcend political divides in civilised societies. One hopes that the Polish people will find comfort in finding some unity with each other and with their global friends as the process of national healing begins in the wake of this disaster.

Danish Tv-2 News is currently showing pictures from Polish TV, who apparently has found a camera crew who are at the scene. Plenty of debris spread around, with nothing immediately recognisable apart from the tail which has apparently survived in one piece. A couple of small fires are being put out by the firefighters who are on the scene.

Not sure if it's due to the fires, but it does appear to be a bit foggy.

We must be careful with the figures nothing confirmed and conflicting reports according to Sky News, so figures not exact yet.

Reuters is also now talking about 132 dead ... but you are right. We must be careful.
Some journalists are already reporting the plane crashed during its 4th attempt to land at Smolensk ... how can they know ? 

We just saw the first image of the Crash on the French T.V, some debris were still on fire ...

Read in a Polish newspaper that the plane was on approach, but due to heavy fog, declared missed approach and proceeded with the go-around. Whilst turning, it got caught on some trees. This according some Russian officials that the paper was quoting.

I guess the plane was about 40 years old and from what I read, the Polish government recently just ordered new executive planes.

I don't know why you "guess" it was 40 years old?

It was produced in 1990, delivered July 1990.

Horrible news. Sad day in Poland today.   It is tragic and ironic that a disaster like this struck when the delegation was going to commemorate the events of Katyn.

Does anyone know, if the aircraft was 101 or 102? No luck finding a metar for Smolensk - the airport doesn't even seem to have an ICAO designator. I figure an ILS is also bit too much to be expected.

Smolensk has both an airport and an air base. The airport (LNX) runway seems to be too short for a Tu-154 (5500ft) so I'm guessing they were headed to the base (XUBS), whose runway is 8400ft.

The plane was landing at Smolensk-North, ICAO designator XUBS.

Smolensk-South (IATA: LNX) is a very small airport with a short runway (1600m / 5249ft).

Bronislaw Komorowski is the speaker of the Parlament house, who becomes acting president in case of elected president's death.

Also, apparently all Polish military Chiefs of Staff have perished.

No.

In 1994 the President Juvenal Habvarimana of Rwanda and President Cyprian Ntayamira of Burundi were on board the same aircraft that crashed near Kigali Airport.

in 2004, President Boris Trajkovski of Macedonia died in a plane crash in Bosnia. 

In 2008, Samora Machel, the Mozambican president died in crash of a Tupolev TU 134A-3, on its way home following the Lusaka Summit in Zambia.

As I understand it, the role of the Polish President is largely ceremonial. The position is 'merely' that of head of state, whereas the real day to day power lies with the Prime Minister.

The type might be as old as you want it to be, it's the maintenance that counts. Plenty of DC-9s with over 40 years of age flying around the US daily and not a single problem.

AC "type being 40 years old" then also includes B737, B747 and many others still flying fine today. This Polish presidential aircraft was delivered at about the same time as the current US Air Force One(s), therefore it's got nothing to do with its age.

There was no distress call reported and it seems the pilot tried to land several times, although advised to use alternates such as Minsk or Moscow. I don't want to speculate further, but it seems the plane was not at fault here at all.

Both Tu-154Ms have been delivered in late 1980s (1989 IIRC), so they were not really that old. I'd say they were on par with most of government VIP aircraft in the majority of the other countries.

One news report I heard here in the USA suggested that the a/c was considering to divert to another one due to the fog conditions. That diversion would have caused greater difficulty for the passangers who were to appear at a ceremony as to a site of a great human rights mass murder at Kaytan in 1940, including many Polish citizens. 
Unless the failure was due to a mechanical failure (as occured with 2 flights of LOT in the 1980's), we have to reason that the heavy fog conditions were a major contribution to this crash.
To all killed, RIP.

I'm so sorry to hear about this.

Poland is a great partner of the EU and in NATO.

And is working hard to improve relations with Russia.

One article mentions how Poland's GDP is growing even in these tough times so they should feel proud.

It makes the loss of so much of their leadership even more difficult to bear.

Rest in peace, and know that better days lie ahead!

 


Inspiration, move me brightly!

I dont think so, but even a HUD is pretty useless without any form of vertical guidance. The best weather report I have seen states a visibility of around 0.5km. Even if your MDA was 350ft AAL you would be over 2km from the TDZ at that point, thats well into CATII ops. What type of Non-precision approach is there at Smolensk airbase? I would have guessed NDB, but I really don't know - can't locate any sources.

Edited for spelling.

This is just terrible. Condolences to the Polish community. Hope they find out the cause soon.

Just watching the Euronews coverage of the crash, and am kind of disappointed that they are going down the "this plane was delivered in 1990" and even "Russian airline SU retired it's TU 154 fleet due to safety concerns". Eh was it not because they were gas guzzlers. 1990 isn't that long ago, the Irish government uses a Gulfstream from 1991.

Quoting Aesma (Reply 75):
Not wanting to jump to conclusion, but if it was indeed the 4th try, that doesn't sound good, you shouldn't try that much, too much stress involved.


I agree with you. Many civil airlines only allow pilots a specific number of tries before going to alternate airport. Without jumping to conclusions it seems strange that such a flight with government officials is not conducted with more modern equipment. Also an ordinary ILS would be no problem if within minima for a qualified airline crew.

Some news agencies are speculating that the pilot was instructed to try it so that they did not miss the very important commemoration event.

You can stop at 43", after that it rewinds. The woman seems to be reading names of victims. I didn't see anything shocking.

It seems the plane hit the last trees before an opening in the forest for the runway (can also be guessed in the video) :

When Donald Tusk visited Tallinn, he flew on a Yak-40. I don't see why he would refuse to fly on a much more modern Tupolev, if he was fine with the Yak.
Probably just a tabloid-style claim.

Quoting AAEXP (Reply 86):

The government of the DDR did, and the Tu-154 was taken over and used by the Luftwaffe after the reunion, until late 1990's, when it collided with an USAF C141 somewhere over Southern Africa.

Quoting SOBHI51 (Reply 47):
Question.
If you are flying the president of a country, who does have the final word, the captain or the president, to divert or not?

My guess is that the pilot has a final word. At least, he's the one with all responsibilities


Just to clarify some things, on the official passanger list there were 89 names (but one person never get on board the aircraft, so there were 88 people) plus 7 crew members, so some media may probably add 89 passangers and 7 crew members.

Remember that there were President and Polish Air Force Commander (Lt. Gen. Andrzej BLASIK) onboard, and apparently they were going late, as that crash happened at 8:56 and the ceremony they were heading to was due to start at 9:30. It was also their 4th approach to land at Smolensk airport, and my guess is that the pilot may have been simply ordered to land here and now, or beeing under so much pressure with all those onboard that he decided to try again and again.

There are also a story from august 2008 when the polish, ukrainian, lithuanian, latvian and estonian presidenst were onboard of polish TU154 (don't if the same that crashed today), and due to security pilot refused to land in Georgia capital Tibilisi, and diverted the plane to Azerbaijan. That time he refused to follow the order given to him by deputy of Polish Air Force Commander, but later he (the pilot - Grzegorz Pietruczuk) was granted with medal from polish ministry of defence.

So maybe this time they ordered the pilot to land despite bad weather conditions at smolensk airport.

On board of todays filght that crashed in smolensk were:

Gen. Bronislaw Kwiatkowski (Commander Operations)
Gen. Andrew Blasik (Air Force Commander in Chief)
Gen. Tadeusz Buk (Commander of Land Forces)
Gen. Wojciech Potasinski (Commander of Special Forces)
Vice Admiral Andrzej Karweta (Commander in Chief of the Polish Navy)
Gen. Casimir Gilarski (Commander, Training)

plus 

* Lech Kaczynski, the President of Poland
* Maria Kaczynska, the first lady
* Ryszard Kaczorowski, the last President of the Polish government-in-exile
* Jerzy Szmajdzinski, Deputy speaker of Sejm (Polish Parliament)
* Wladyslaw Stasiak, Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration
* Aleksander Szczyglo, head of the National Security Bureau
* Pawel Wypych, Secretary of State in the Office of the President of the Republic of Poland

No, they are using Challengers and 2 A310'a (which formerly belonged to the GDR leadership), but these will be replaced by new A319's and 2 ex-LH A340-300. Especially the Challenger jets have quite a long tech record, including some emergency landings with high-ranking politicans on board, so it's definitely worth modernizing the fleet.

If conditions were below minimums why did it try to land? I'm afraid this is looking like pilot error.

That is probably a fair guess, but in normal civil circumstances the Pilot in Command, (Flight Captain), is according to aviation rules and laws the only one allowed to make decisions concerning safety of the flight. This is the case no matter who is onboard, the Chief of Flight Operations or anybody else. The pilot in the flight plan stated as PIC = Pilot In Command is always in charge no matter what. The decisions of the PIC can never be overruled by anyone else onboard or on ground no matter what.

But this was a military flight...

I am not sure if this is always the case. What happens if Obama tells AF1 pilot to land somewhere. Can he refuse to do this? I am not sure if this law applies always and in all countries.

Of course the pilot of AF 1 has the authority to rule out any order coming from Obama if it concerns safety. Anything else would be stupidity. The pilot has more knowledge about flying a plane and the safety of the plane than the President. However if it is within safetymargins, of course the pilot will do as the President says.

And as you can understand, Obama being an educated and smart president he will of course always follow safety advices from his pilots....

Quoting FlySSC (Reply 60):
In 1994 the President Juvenal Habvarimana of Rwanda and President Cyprian Ntayamira of Burundi were on board the same aircraft that crashed near Kigali Airport.


Not sure you can count this one as a "plane crash" It was shot down by some kind of land to air device as they were taking off. This what ignited the Rwandan genocide spree.

May G-d comfort everyone in their time of loss.

Some media are reporting that due to bad weather the plan must have hit the trees and burst into a fireball.

Black Box was found according to InterFax (around 6:30A EST).

The TU154M had 5004 hours and 1823 landings. Went through D-Check (major tear down) in Dec'09 and since had 50 landing and 124 hours. It was certified for another 25 years of service.
Of note, the YAK-40 that supposed to take the press to Smolensk, had mechanical problem and the flight was switched to another YAK-40. Polish Gov't has 1 154M left (in D-Check as well), 4 YAK-40s, 3 M-28 Bryza, 6 Mi-8's, 5 Sokol (polish made chopper) and 1 Bell-412.

Why on earth did it take so long for this website (CBC N E W S) to post this story? I already read all about it on BBC, NY Times, Yahoo News, Google News, and..... Radio-Canada's website. Yes, the CBC's french-language website. This is shameful.

Home again cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,

I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you, to be free.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.

Hi!

How are you?

 

Thanks for email and links.

Here is little "bonus" for you (don't publish it :-) )

 

Copy-paste this in top bar in Google (Web):

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/military/read.main/121103/

 

You'll see forum "Polish AF Tu-154 Crash In Smolensk" , with list of 401 replies.

Except of first post - start of topic (below in green) (remember "David"?

I could never understand why "David's" edit time was 3 hours earlier than time of post...)

...except for "David's" post,  first 62 replies are dated Apr.9.  (we need to add 11 hours to get Moscow time)

 

 

There is another page - it's same, only all those replies are "open" already

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/military/read.main/121103/1

same replies show adjusted time (+6 hours)

 

I marked my remarks below in yellow.

And a brief

Press is mentioning that Polish teams say the aircraft crashed on approach, right on final it hit a tree and then went on fire by the time it hit the runway. Doesn't seem good. But media can be wrong as usual.

Israeli Media is stating that the aircraft crashed about 1.5km short of the runway, the aircraft in question is indeed a Polish TU-154

Danish Tv-2 News is currently showing pictures from Polish TV, who apparently has found a camera crew who are at the scene. Plenty of debris spread around, with nothing immediately recognisable apart from the tail which has apparently survived in one piece. A couple of small fires are being put out by the firefighters who are on the scene.

Not sure if it's due to the fires, but it does appear to be a bit foggy.

I think it is the Tu-154, the last picture taken of the Polish Tupolev on airliners.net is from 25th of March 2010.


Sad situation, RIP.

No information on the aircraft. I just tuned in to N24 but no information so far except for the breaking news ticker. Any additional information available says that 84 people died in the crash, including Lech Kaczynski and his wife.

Unless he always travels with a big staff, my guess is that the aircraft was civilian.

EDIT: N24 is now presuming that it was indeed the Presidential Tu-154. They also say that the landing was apparently in the fog.

Quoting N14AZ (Reply 2):
What type of airplane did he use?


If at least 87 people were on board, it can't be the Yak-40. so I guess it's probably a Tu-154.

Just reported on the news by the Polish Authorities : No survivors. The President of Poland and several Polish Officials and families were on board.
Mr Kaczynski was due to visit Smolensk to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, when Soviet troops killed thousands of Poles.

The plane hit trees on approach, crashed and caught fire.

It was 70th anniversary of Katyn masacre, hence many other officials were with him.

This aircraft only had 87 seats.

Regrettably, Sky News is also now reporting that the President was indeed killed in the crash. Deeply shocking news; it is a terrible day for any nation when it loses its leader.

MSNBC is reporting 132 were aboard - 87 dead - no survivors...... Obviously still a lot of confusion at this point. 

Russian news agencies reported at least 87 people died in the crash near Smolensk airport in western Russia, citing the Russian Emergencies Ministry. They reported 132 people were aboard the Tupolev Tu-154. 

Polish state news agency PAP said there were no survivors. 


People often post what they see in the media, and we all know the media doesn't know what they're doing when it comes to aviation.

RIP to all aboard, what a sad day for Poland.

298 3MilesToWRO : Yeah. He's a known fisherman so he hid in the trees, hooked the airplane with his fishing stick and brought it down.

320 Starlionblue : The hypothetical scenario you describe sounds exactly like pilot error...

350 giopan1975 : I do not think that there are any signs of an attempted missed approach. Rather signs of "lost in fog" or of childish persistent to locate the runway
