As April is nearing, the topic of Smoleńsk air disaster in 2010 reactivates in Poland 🇵🇱
A year after the crash it was 100% clear that the plane shouldn't even have left Warsaw by law, and certainly shouldn't have attempted landing in dense fog.
It was entirely avoidable, caused by a sequence of risky misjudgements and classified as "controlled flight into terrain".
Report (scroll to bottom for English)
Smoleńsk was a logical consequence of that risky culture in the highest Polish command. Initially, both opposing parties (PO and PiS) were so shocked that they basically cooperated in the investigation to find out what happened.
And when they found out, the hell unleashed, because PiS couldn't just accept that their general and staff basically flew their President into the ground.
What happened next largely resembled Russian investigation into the #MH17 crash.
