No technical error proved in presidential plane crash
by Milota Sidorova
Poland is lighting thousands of candles these days. Monday, the first working day after a tragic weekend. The airplane with President Lech Kaczynski, the whole group of army representatives, the senior chief of national bank and more important representatives crashed on Saturday's morning at 10:56 a.m. near Smolensk airport. But there have been two planes taking off Warsaw that morning. The second plane carried the company and journalists, everyone heading to Katyn commemoration.According to official Russian reports, the plane got hit by the tree when it was trying to descend in more than a foggy weather. The inspection proved there was no technical error in the case and th! at the air commander repeatedly ordered the pilot to continue the flight. The plane, however began to descend and crashed. The cause of the tragedy, strangely is not the main topic in Polish media. The picture of what happened has been constructed by foreign newspapers. The probable cause of the crash is the violation of the orders to not descend in such conditions. The question is, whether it was President himself pressuring the pilot to descend. Polish mission had to be in time on commemoration. The body of President was sent to Warsaw late weekend. Thousands of people, standing in the crowds from the airport to the centre of the city, followed his journey home. Shock and emotions that would be the right words to describe the situation. Poland has been overcoming difficult period. The public is getting together, unified in this disaster. Despite of a human loss, it is a loss for political sector, but the major hit influences the army. Army is essential institution for th! e working of the state. While each politician can be replaced ! by many candidates, it is not the case in here. Army representatives have long career behind and have to fulfill a lot of requirements. Polish economy, strangely is not hurt. Despite the loss of head of the national bank, Polish currency remained solid as government said the bank was going to fulfill its duties and kept on working. Analysts don't expect major changes on international markets, Poland was one of those countries able to grow in economical sector.Sad, but working Monday has began for millions of Polish citizen all over the world. The country is holding a week lasting national mourning and has been joined by Russia, Ukraine, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Argentine.
