Serdeczne dzięki pozdrawiam

Dear Congressman King,

Thank you for your reply, your support and your bill. Polish bloggers have compiled a mass of evidence and indications which point out the unclarity, if not outright lies, surrounding the tragedy. I don't mean to clutter your already busy email, so unless you ask for more information, this will be my last email to you, but please bear with me.

Although you, of course, have access to much better intelligence sources than the Internet public, but I would like to draw your attention to several facts about the Smolensk tragedy and surrounding events, to give you more ammunition in your fight. In my email I will present a brief synopsis, but all of the links are also available (should you need them, I will forward them), and please feel free to requests translations from Polish. I would be happy (if that's the right word under the circumstances) to oblige.

1. You probably already know about the obfuscation of the actual time of the crash, where it was officially stated by Russia that it was 08:56 CET, whereas Polish national TV was already reporting it at 08:38 CET (officially recognized time of the crash is now 08:41+ CET).

2. Although the crash is described as a CFIT event with all systems operational, several eyewitnesses report that there were strange engine noises.

2b. A Russian Il-76 made two (2) abortive landing attempts immediately prior to the Tu-154 crash, where it missed the runway axis to the left just like the Polish presidential plane, and nearly crashed on the second attempt, dipping a wing almost to the ground and barely managing to avoid an already landed Yak-40 that had flown in Polish media crews.

3. The CVR recordings are 38 minutes on a 30 minute tape!!! No record was ever made of the replacement of the standard spool with a spool of thinner tape, which would have given 45 minutes worth of recording. Of the CVR recording, 16 minutes have been transcribed, on the transcripts provided by Russia and disclosed by the Polish government supposedly contrary to agreements made with the Russians, as "unintelligible". Funnily enough almost all of the statements by the Captain Pilot-in-Command (1'st pilot, Cpt. Arkadiusz Protasiuk) are unintelligible, as well as those from the final 5 minutes by Smolensk air traffic control.

3b. The transcripts fail to mention a command given by the Smolensk-Seviernyi ATC that had been intercepted by Lt. Wosztyl (Pilot-in-Command of the abovementioned Yak-40) who had been on the same frequency. The ATC gave PL101 the command "go to 50 meters" when Lt. Grzywna (2'nd pilot of PL101) had already radioed "odchodzimy" ("we're aborting") at 80m (according to the CVR transcripts). If this command were obeyed, this would caused the Tu-154 to instantly crash at the site, where it clipped the first tree (this site is some 50m *below* the level of the airfield in a relatively deep valley on the approach vector). This command given by SS-ATC has been confirmed by Lt. Muś, the flight technical officer of the Yak-40.

4. The authenticity of the transcripts has been undermined by Tatiana Anodina of the Russian ("International") Aviation Committee (the authors of the trancripts!!!), as unsigned by them. This is true, they do lack one of the required signatures.

5. The Russians have not secured the crash site, nor collected all of the discernible pieces of the aircraft (standard procedure) from the area. As much as a month after the crash, pieces of wreckage including cabin instruments with flap and landing gear switches were being collected by incidental persons (including Polish journalists). The Russians have now bulldozed the terrain clean, and cut down all of the trees damaged by the falling Tu-154 - these were the primary evidence of the path of the ill fated flight in its last seconds.

6. Nobody knows whether a proper post-mortem analysis was made of the crash victims.

7. No chromatography nor spectroscopic analysis was made (or disclosed in the press) of pieces of the wreckage to seek signs of explosions/exogenous substances and the like (also a standard procedure in investigations).

8. Russian authorities have refused to transfer the wreck over to Polish authorities. It (or rather, about 30-40% of the plane) is sitting on an open tarmac at Smolensk airport, in the sun, rain and wind, where any chemical evidence is being washed off or eroding. The Russian authorities have stated that they wish to smelt the plane down.

9. Personal effects have gone missing from the victims, including credit cards which have subsequently been used to defraud money by Russian soldiers who were "guarding" the crash site.

10. Polish (?) authorities have stated that they wish to burn the personal effects of the victims to prevent "epidemiological hazards".

11. Requests by the victims' families association to exhume the bodies and carry out a proper post-mortem have thus far been ignored.

12. The Polish (?) government is handing out medals like there is no tomorrow to Russian investigators.

13. There have been several possibly unrelated, but strangely coincidental, deaths surrounding the Smolensk tragedy:

- bp Mieczysław Cieślar † 18.04.2010, the head-in-spe of the Evangelical church of Poland to replace Fr. Pilch (who died in the Smolensk tragedy) died in a car crash driving back from the funeral. He was hit head-on by a drunk driver. The driver now cannot be found. Bot Bp. Cieślar and Bp. Pilch were involved in the Commission for clearing the Evangelical Church of Communist agents.
- Krzysztof Knyż † 02.06.2010, the TVN (Polish commercial TV station) cameraman was one of the first people on scene and filmed a part of the crash. He died in a car crash. His immediate boss and TVN reporter was W. Bater, the first journalist to report the correct time of the crash. W. Bater is now on an extended trip to Siberia, incommuniacado for an indefinite period of time.
- prof. Marek Dulinicz † 06.06.2010, the head of the Polish archaeological team which was supposed to be sent into the crash site to uncover any evidence missed by the investigators has also died in a car crash. The team has never been sent in, because of red tape piled on by the Russians.
- Andirey Menirey (sp.?), the Ukrainian tourist (looter?) who made a film of the crash site less than 20 minutes after the crash (in the film there are visible persons running around the site, swearing in Polish and Russian, begging (?) in Polish and gunshots, all confirmed) has apparently (there are several versions, which is why I say apparently) been killed by Knifing near Kiev in the Ukraine.
Two other deaths and an failed death by "car accident" are also known, but their connection with the matter is more tenuous.

As you see, Congressman King, there are an awful lot of coincidences surrounding this matter. Once again, we the concerned but powerless part of Polish society, thank you for your efforts.

Sincerely,

[Mustrum]
