I was a Boeing 737 Captain and an Aviation Lawyer involved in several accident investigations worldwide. I have read the entire report of the Smolensk Crash and make the following obsevations:- 1 Most aircraft accidents do not have a single 'cause' but many contributory factors. 2 The Smolensk report identifies many shortcomings, namely pilot training, weather, poor airport preparation, poor risk assessment of the airport etc. 3 However one factor surmounting all of these is that the crew continued the descent below the authorised permitted height of 100metres. Had they not done so many of the other factors would have been irrelevant. 4 Air Traffic Control, whether adequate or not, has no relevance to a Captain's decision to descend below operating limits. 5 There is no evidence to suggest that the aircraft was destroyed by anything other than contact, initially by the port wing hitting the trees, and then the catastrophic impact of the whole aircraft with the ground. In relation to the 'conspiracy' theories, if an aircraft 'accident' were to be used to conduct an 'assassination' the method employed would more likely be a bomb, detonated on a timing device, a radio/telephone signal or a barometric switch. Using any of these methods so close to the ground and seconds from landing would risk failure of the objective. To achive success in an assassination involving as many factors as were involved in this crash would require inconceivable co-ordination, including convincing both pilots to commit suicide. Having read this report I conclude that this was no more than a tragic accident resulting from many factors. The fact that an accident results in the death of the President of a country does not prevent it from being an accident. Geoffrey Nicholson
