As activists chanted anti-government slogans, on April 10, 2012, Poland remembered the crash that wiped out 96 Russians. Memorials were placed in Warsaw at the Presidential Palace and in Smolensk, Russia, where the crash wiped out dozens of top Polish civilian and military leaders.
Investigations concluded the crash was due to bad weather, inadequate crew training and poor guidance from Russian air traffic controllers. Some say that the disaster was not properly investigated and others say it was a deliberate assassination.
The wreckage remains in Smolensk, and according to reports was only recently covered by a tarp to protect it from the elements.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski, twin brother of the late president and leader of Poland’s Law and Justice party, boycotted the state ceremonies. He believes the disaster was inadequately investigated and that the state findings were in error.
