Piotr Antoni Skiba, spokesperson for the territory Attorney's Office in Warsaw, admits that investigators take this anticipation into account, although he adds that the case has not yet been settled. – The decision will be made in agreement with the State Commission for the Investigation of Air Accidents.

Further information on the subject will most likely appear on Monday. 1 thing is certain: it can take a long time just to examine the circumstances of the accident. As D.A.

The another is connected to the pilot himself. We're checking to see if he made a mistake or fainted. The 3rd subject focuses on service and logistics issues. We will want to decide whether the mistake was made by ground service,” Skiba mentions. And he adds that presently no of these versions are overwhelming.
