There was a thick fog at Smolensk airport and the pilots had been told to try another airport in Minsk, but they still tried to land several times to Smolensk. The fourth attempt became fatal. It was kind of unusual behavior, since it is said that usually after two unsuccessful attempts the pilots head to alternative airfields.

Yes, I heard that aswell. Kinda like someone gave an executive decision. Wow 97 dead, including the President of Poland. Enroute to WW2 ceremony,Erie!    Best wishes for the families.

Oops, got a little excited and started speaking Polish, dang!  Wow, he really got it huh?  The poor soul. 
If there's something in that whole afterlife buisness, I wonder where he is.

Back in 2008 [...]

Air traffic control told the pilot of Mr. Kaczynski’s plane to turn back because it was too dangerous to land in Tbilisi, but the President — who also is commander-in-chief under Polish law — ordered the pilot to land anyway.

How safe is the Tu-154?

[...]

Up until July 2001, only two Tu-154 accidents had involved technical failure.

Not only was the President killed, but many top ranking officials within the Polish govt. as well.  Scary stuff.

Makes you wonder as it happened in Russia. Hmm...

I have to admit, I though of this also.  Reminded me of the death of General Sikorski during WWII.  But putting all the conspiracy theories aside, I think this terrible incident is due to bad weather and possibly mechanical failure.
