The air crash of April 2010 instantly eliminated the majority of political and military leaders of the centre-conservative and Polish-sovereignty political lobby (the Law and Justice) - the very movement that stayed on guard of freshly gained independence of Poland and its close ties with NATO and European Union. The Smolensk disaster resulted in the immediate transfer of political power in Poland to parties hostile to that formation. The power take over was well-organized and happened within hours and days after the accident took place. The circumstances of the crash and the political scandals that surround its investigation - or rather the lack of it – have created major doubts as to the real causes of the crash.





Some Unanswered Questions

Why did the Polish Cabinet surrender all the inquiries to the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC), and rejected offers by NATO , the EU and various countries to aid in the investigation?

Why, starting from the first day of the investigation, the fuselage was chopped into small pieces; windows shattered and most of the vital evidence destroyed?

Why for almost two years were black boxes and the wreckage of the Polish Air Force One Airliner not returned to Poland, especially after the release of the final report by the IAC?

How could an almost 60 ton aircraft, after a crash from a very low altitude, disintegrate into thousands of unrecognizable pieces, and none of the 96 passengers survived?

Why were many bodies disintegrated to the point that they required DNA identification?

These, and many more unanswered questions are awaiting answers.
