Unknown person in Polish president's crashed plane cockpit

The words of an unknown person were recorded apart from the voices of two pilots, the navigator and the flight engineer in the cockpit of Lech Kaczynski's Tu-154 plane that crashed near Smolensk, the Polish radio RMF FM learned unofficially from the prosecutor's office in charge of investigaton. It is yet be known who exactly -- a flight attendant or a passenger -- entered the cockpit before the crash. Anyway, the pilots had no right to land in that foggy weather, Anatol Czaban, Chief of Training at the Polish Air Force, told the Polish radio RMF FM.

According to Czaban, the pilots could have received information about bad weather conditions from at least three sources: ait traffic controllers in Belarus, the Northern airport in Smolensk and the crew of Yak that had landed one hour before the crash. Besides, cockpit master alarm -- not just a warning -- was activated in the last minutes. It is unclear why the pilots ignored the alarm.
