Tu-154M commander feared plane diversion would displease Kaczynski - IAC

MOSCOW. Jan 12 (Interfax) - The crew of the Polish presidential plane feared Lech Kaczynski's negative reaction to a possible decision to divert to an alternate airfield.

"The materials of the technical commission and independent experts suggest that in the event of a diversion to an alternate airfield the commander could have expected a negative reaction from the main passenger," IAC chairwoman Tatyana Anodina said at a press conference at the Interfax head office on Wednesday.
