Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]
1) Great fog--the fog of all fogs! Greatly exaggerated.
2) Rapid dismissal of technical failure (according to witness accounts, plane was circling and dumping fuel--not repeatedly attempting to land.
(1) I visited the local Smolensk forum of 10.04 - they were talking about thick fog (doesn't mean it lasts forever).

One of the first replies:
"Странно, что в такой туман (я из окна 9-го этажа землю с трудом вижу) вообще кто-то решился на полёт." - "Strange that in such a fog (the ground is hardly visible from my 9th floor) somebody dared to fly"
And a lot of Poles in the airport, including journalists were witnesses.
(2) From several sources I know that Tu-154 is not able to dump fuel. Are you aviation specialist and may prove it with something different than journalists first opinions?
You are looking in the wrong places. For such catastrophe any possibilities should be taken into account and I'm sure they will be taken by professionals from both countries.
