This is really horrible if it's what happened, but it's topical for this board.
Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president who died in a plane crash last week, had a history. In 2008 he was travelling in the presidential plane and demanded that Polish Air Force pilot Captain Grzegorz Pietuczak land in unsafe conditions. When the captain refused, Kaczynski tried to have him stripped of rank for insubordination. Instead, the Prime Minister intervened and Captain Pietuczak got a medal for carrying out his duty safely.
Given that the crash that killed Kaczynski happened on approach to a foggy airport after several failed attempts to land, people are wondering.
