Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]
NN: as much as you can understand the difference between the accents?
Yes, no problem. Anyone who speaks Polish knows the difference between a Polish and Russian accent. It's clear from the moment they speak. Though that particular video is dodgy to say the least.
understanding accent differences isn't so easy unless you are local.
It is easy.
NN: And, Jonny, you aren't local, but, a British.
Your point is?
NN: JonnyM's copied post from Guardian.co.uk above summarized the analysis well. I sign & stamp it..
The Guardian is notorious for getting the wrong end of the stick, but that assessment of the situation is one of the most perceptive articles about Poland in the foreign press.
Sasha: Madatnet, after watching the video I can tell you that:
- I haven't heard a single word in Polish;
- I haven't heard anything but a siren at 0.54
- the audio track seems to be laid upon the video
- the video doesn't contain any evidence of shooting or the like
- you must get a grip on reality
Exactly!
