The captain didn't want to make the same mistake a few years ago where he was the first officer and his captain refused, to fly into dangerous air space. May they all rest in peace🙏🏻
There are suspicions that it was an assassination attempt and that there was a thermonuclear bomb in the left wing.
Ironically that more experienced captain flew the Prime Minister of Poland 3 days before without any incident. But he was removed from this flight due to presidents objections.
Klord didn't almost everyone knew about his actions that day 😳
@@Jekalmat I bet Kaczyński's successor asked for him back. I'd prefer to fly with a cautious pilot who takes safety over orders.
The recordings from the black boxes do not indicate that there was any pressure, they literally told the pilots that the president did not insist on landing at this airport. In the same recordings, you can hear the captain giving the go-around command at an altitude of 100 meters, but for some reason it did not happen. The theory about pressure on pilots was and is convenient for many, especially for Russia, which does not want to admit obvious negligence on its side.
It's easy to blame the pilots, but here the crew was under immense stress from their superiors onboard. The captain and first officer's decision making may have also been affected by knowledge of a 2008 flight incident when the President of Poland ordered a change in destination right before departure and again while airborne. Lacking charts or a flight plan for the new destination, the captain of that flight had decided he could not bring the aircraft to the new destination safely. Disobeying the President and a high-ranking Polish Air Force commander on board, the captain flew on to the originally planned destination. He was never assigned to fly the president again. It must also be noted that the captain and first officer of this ill fated flight were the first officer and navigator, respectively, on that flight.
Ironically, the more experienced captain involved in the 2008 incident flew the Polish Prime Minister to Smolensk safely on 7 April (without the President on board), but he was removed from the crew of the 10 April flight which carried the President. Knowledge of the 2008 incident and its repercussions may have weighed on this crew, potentially placing additional pressure on them to complete their flight to the original destination amidst all the odds. May they all rest in peace🙏🏻
Very good job fellows!! The cvr recording in this flight very dramantic.😥😔
So sad story…
Wouldn’t be the first time when Chief Polish Commander dies because of plane ‘accident’.
Just saying.
The radio altimeter was correct, and if the terrain was flat they would not have crashed. They were reading the terrain under the aircraft but the barometric altimeter would have shown the altitude they needed to be.
RIP
Aircraft malfunction investigator sounds like a good job 👍 finding root causes to problems is frustratingly satisfying
Never Fly the president into a Dangerous Weather
And to think, that politicians made an narration, that it was shot down...
There was a bomb on board that day.
@@theunknown9437No there wasn’t.
@@Victor-vt9ck yes there was. Scientists said that there was bomb power on everything which is why they wanted to destroy the wreckage to hide the evidence. There was also material found that didn’t belong to the plane. So yes there was a bomb and it was a attack.
@@Victor-vt9ck yes there was. It has been documented that material was found that didn’t belong to the plane. There would be power everywhere to confirm that there was a bomb. That’s why the Russians don’t want to give the wreckage back. You clearly don’t know so mind your business.
Why does it start where it does.
Polish Air force 101
Aircraft- Tupolev Tu 154

The tail was apart so far that he had to take into pices in the air.
They had no chance.
But now they are trying to find something else and blame this thing instead of true reason.
This catastrophe would never be solved.
2 detonations on the left wing. It was probably placed during maintain work. Donald Tusk is probably involved and the Russians
Are you Russian? Or do you find them to be so just and fair, that you believe their version of events?
@@signorigna3009 The Russian told us that was pilots fault.
They hide pieces of plane and they didn't allow to take them to analise them.
The tail has been torn apart and, of this result - they fallen into pieces.
Pilots couldn't do anything, because they have no rudder, as rudder was in the tail, that has been torn apart.
This cathastrophe won't be never solved.
That was a murder.
How many times did u hear TAWS go off crickets from pilot's
@@rodbrezinski8033 TAWS turned on after they lost tail and then they turned on their back and smashed into the ground.
And the pilots brokes theirs fingers because they're trying to pull up
Finally one vedik of a crash in a long time
Sad how many pilots ignore the training thats put in place to save their lives!
Funny… that american investigqtors have access to the black box… but Poland still doen’t receive it back and no wreck either! I remember that shortly after the accident there was a video of a Russian teenager showing the short video’s showing the airplanes landing that morning. He has been filming the Polish planeas it was different - white with red! The sky was absolutely blue! There were lots of unclear details untill now not solved. Lots of people have died afterwards stating it was an accident. The procesure has not been followed - splitting the important politicians into 2 different planes and flying them mixed with the church officials, journalists. Now the politicians were put on 1 plane! I had to think about the JFK „accident” where the procedures were not followe either. Andas we know it wasn’t by chance. I guess we will never know how it all went! But I am sure that the pilots were well trained and skilled and would never risk their lives even foe the president!
The cvr recording in this flight very dramantic😥😔
true
@@bridishbirb8603 very true
Wieczny odpoczynek radz im DAC panie 🕯️
They were trained hastly and badly. Most of the training were on good weather, they use ILS alot. And they were forced to use the TU-154 while most of the experience time they got were from the Yak-40 a smaller plane.
Yes
Yes what
They had the wrong pull up alarm it’s supposed to be “terrain ahead terrain ahead pull up pull up (x10)”
They were very good military pilots... They could have had their rudders jammed when this Deep State sect has the patent for hijacking planes, what war they were going to wage with Russia through Ukraine and Poland in Europe, even WW3 had been planning for a long time... according to the plan of Rand Corp and even their NATO... and wanting to destroy our political elites again, as in 1939..., as Poland has been under their occupation for a long time... Just as even now they are talking about jamming devices in planes..., threatening that Russia is doing...
Take this crap down. It’s just a snippet
check description
Dont like facts?
It was not an accident.
It WAS an Accident. It is nonsence to say it wasn't .
@@franciszekgapinski424 jemu chodzi o to, że w Polsce to jest norma, nie przypadek
then wtf was it?
@@rmadridista369 in Poland a lot of people thinks this was an assasination. (± 10%)
@@franciszekgapinski424 Then why US won’t release the sattelite images? Wouldnstop all gossips imediately.
Based on the audio recording, turning on their landing lights is what triggered the malfunction. Sounds like the Russians knew this and that’s why they told them to do so
Wow, I didn't expect to meet you here.
@@GDY23 In his world, Radar does not exist :D
@@Jekalmat interesting =D
Bruh turning on landing lights isn’t gonna cause a plane to crash.
Malfunction? what malfunction?
3:54 what
?
what?
Faulty altitude and pilot error
"Presure from superior to perform dangerous landing in an airport unsuitable for civilian use"
That's Russian version. I hope y'all know now, that Russians can't be trusted.
@@chakraborty1989 why...???
Altitude was never faulty
@@masudsaleh5155 because it already happened before.
In 2008 Lech Kaczyński (the president that died here) was on a flight to Georgia. The captain wanted to divert, but the President ordered him to press on despite the danger. Afterwards the captain faced disciplinary action.
One of the pilots on that '08 flight was...the captain of the Smoleńsk flight. He knew first hand what failing to land on time would mean for his career.
Rip poland;s plane
This doesnt explain the video where people get executed at the crash site?
Fake video. There are such things.
Pilot incompetence but you’ll get some polish people screaming Russian KGB or something lmao.
Yes, the FSB would never harm anyone. Right, Putin?
So you imply that courts are useless and Bayesian inference is a lie?
@@calametrocity lol
Russians organised it.
No, there are more multiple factors
You need to know how the TAWS system works. Smolensk airport has been in the taws system since 2006, but the plane's database was last updated in September 2002. Therefore, this airport was NOT in the taws system on board the plane. The system did not know that they were landing, and thought they were simply descending. That's why he warned the earth against them. He would behave in the same way when landing in good weather at any airport if we hadn't informed him that we were landing. The pilots didn't behave perfectly here, but let's note that they ignored taws messages correctly.
It is weak that the publishers of the film, who should know about aviation and air disasters, manipulate the recipient in such a simple way. They use the Russian version, which is always manipulated and in which they always try to deny their guilt. A serious program presents a situation to give Karens something to talk about... that the pilots were so stupid and crashed the plane.
I watch it often and now I wonder how many mistakes they made in other episodes because I didn't know as much about a given disaster as I did about this one.
I watched the full episode of this crash a couple days ago and in it they go further in depth about the TAWS system and how Smolensk wasn’t part of the plane’s database. They just didn’t have enough time to talk about it in this short video.
Pilots busted MDA and continued descent trying to land the airplane, it is a complete violation of standard approach procedure which led to this crash. TAWS was not a leading factor in this crash.

Very strange story, I know that there are lot of rumours that Russians were responsible of this crash, and I think so. When you observe the speed approach and compare it with the debris from the accident we can wonder us if something else had not killed the polish president. And to add , during this period the polish government was in conflict with the Russian. The story is more serious and more complicated than we think, and if your are really interested you can easily find a lot of articles which are talking about..
it was pilot error from the beginning
@@kirilmihaylov1934 did you read my comment ?
@@shnobisirk5888 link any reliable evidence that it was not crew error. Didn't Macierewicz spent millions of polish taxpayer moneys and proved nothing. Wake up dude.
No
@@differentangle2499 i mean it doesnt prove anything but this video right after the crash is concerning ruclips.net/video/-DbLgBifsTU/видео.html . i don't like macierewicz one bit but the sounds of potential gunfire does feed conspiracies, worse the fact that polish prosecutors haven't looked into this in detail
Asasination
Huh
Suspicion on Russia.
Russia Suc
No
@@rmadridista369 yes and suck balls Z lover
And Poland is blaming Russia for this...
"Poland" is not blaming Russia, beyond pointing out ATC did not follow the procedures, and noting the subpar maintenance of the airport. A fringe group of politicians and civs choose to peddle conspiracy theories for their own gain. That is not "Poland" lmfao
the cvr for anyone who wondered... its haunting.
ruclips.net/video/0JNEZlLceVk/видео.html
also wth the cheery music at the end, smithsonian???
2024 and Russia still hasn't returned the black box to Poland.
So many influential people on one plane. Good job Poland 🤦🏼♂️
Happens all the time, unfortunate that this one faces tragedy.
That didn't matter. What matters is how pilots fly the plane
2 detonations on the left wing. It was probably placed during maintain work. Donald Tusk from PO is suspected to be Involve
Poland? You mean Russia I think.
@@signorigna3009 Polish pilots dumbo
Its fair to say that the president forced them to land
Or presidents brother demanded them to land quicker
IT WAS AN ASSASSINATION
Same as the Two missiles from Ukraine that killed poles citizens in Poland 🇵🇱
twerk nation lmao
@@masudsaleh5155 go back to arabia
Thanks for the insight Mr Twerk Nation
No
The Russian brought it down
Враньë
And what was the point of doing that? Kill the Polish leaders? What for? This will not change the situation in Poland at all.
Tin foil hat by Smithsonian. You can do better. Greeting even from Poland.
What do you suspect?
To rosja zabiła
