Passengers Voices Recorded In Cock Pit Before Polish Plan Crash

While investigating the plane crash that killed the Polish president and other top officials, they found that there were at least 2 passengers in the cockpit 16- 20 minutes before the crash. This fueled the idea that the pilots were pressured to land because the passengers on the plane were running late for their appearance at the ceremony for the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre. Terrorism, sabotage and technical failure have already been ruled out as causes for the crash, but no other causes have been identified. They are trying to determine if cell phone use on board or crew experience were factors, but the idea of passengers in the cock pit is starting to be investigated. One passenger in the cockpit has been identified, but the name is not being released. But, it is being published that it is the voice of the Commander of Poland's Air Force, Gen. Andrzej Blasik.
