Someone has to say this now. If you don't know polish mentality
you won’t be able to understand why this happened. To make the
story short - they (pilots) had to land, no matter what. That
was the matter of their honor. I can imagine the pressure on
them...
Diversion was not the option. And here we have the sad outcome.
Condolences to all involved.
