Edinburgh, June 2 (ANI): Polish Prime
Minister Donald Tusk has published the transcripts of the final minutes of late
President Lech Kaczynski in the ill-fated Tupolev Tu-154 whose crash took the
lives of most of the Polish government’s top-brass.
The transcripts revealed that the pilots of
the aircraft received at least a dozen warnings from the on-board systems to
regain height during the last minute of the crash.
There is speculation that late Polish President
Kaczynski may himself have precipitated the circumstances by asking the pilots
to ignore the Russian traffic-controllers’ advice and urging them to land the
plane despite the inclement weather.
According to The Scotsman, the transcript
provided no evidence of this, though three minutes before the crash it quoted
an unidentified person in the cockpit as saying: “(S)he will be annoyed
if…” It did not make clear who the subject of the sentence was and said
the rest of the sentence was unintelligible.
One of the pilots cursed after the plane hit a tree - a collision that flipped
the Tupolev Tu-154 military plane upside down.
The last sound recorded was a prolonged expletive uttered by an unidentified
person in the cockpit.
Meanwhile, Kaczynski’s twin brother
Jaroslav has criticised the Tusk administration’s decision to publicly release
the transcripts even before the immediate family of the deceased had had a
chance to read them. (ANI)
