HungaroJET Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 WHY ? What a tragedy... Sad story :cry: Closed airport because of thick fog...fourth approach after three failed attempts...WHY ? :huh: Atop the midnight tarmac, a metal beast awaits.

Griffin Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Very tragic. :/ According to news they tried to land four times on an airport closed due to poor weather, fog, and crashed on the last attempt. Let's wait to hear the final reason but sounds very strange thing to do by the pilot. The alternative airports were Moscow and Minsk. Was there such a pressure by the politics to land there?
sniffer Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Closed airport because of thick fog...fourth approach after three failed attempts...WHY ? :huh: Because next attempt would be probably in Minsk (300km from Smolensk). It was unfortunately last try... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Very sad news, my thoughts are with the friends and famillies of the vitims and to the Polish people. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Krippz Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 It seems like the Tu-194 did not have a ILS and the visibility conditions we're <500M; why would any pilot attempt such a thing? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22
