Background: The last moments of that fatal Polish flight carrying there president April 10th were released today. Apparently the pilots were warned at least 8 times in 30 seconds of the danger they were facing. "Pull up. Pull up," a warning system advised pilots. "Terrain ahead. Terrain ahead." This was a flight carrying over 100 passengers including the Polish President at the time Kaczynski, everyone on board died. The president had been traveling with a Polish delegation to Russia for the 70th anniversary of the massacre of Polish prisoners of war in the village of Katyn. Some 20,000 Polish officers were executed there during World War II.
Opinion: Although the warnings and transcript makes the pilots sound like they ignored the warnings, I am sure they did everything in there power to try and keep the plane in the air. We don't know everything that happened in the plane before it crashed, just the warnings that were sounding before impact. It's sad that it just happened to carry the Polish President on his way to honor many soldiers that were killed during WWII. Its sad in itself that 100 people had to die in this crash though too.
