MOSCOW, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- A decision not to land at another site was the main reason in the April crash of a plane carrying then-Polish President Lech Kaczynski, Russian officials said.
Russia's Interstate Aviation committee said Wednesday the crew of the Tu-154 aircraft, despite receiving information about poor weather conditions at the destination airport, decided against landing at a reserve field, killing Kaczynski and 95 others, RIA Novosti reported.
