On 9 April 2017, the Military Counterintelligence Service posted over a two-minute recording of 10 April 2010 recorded by cameras of the Military Airport Warsaw-Okęcie. The video recorded the last minutes by the start of government Tu-154 M going to Smolensk on 10 April 2010.
Despite 15 years since the Smolensk tragedy, recorded scenes do not give in to the passage of time, their emotional strength does not weaken despite the fact that any politicians have treated the President's death and 95 accompanying persons as a trampoline to take over the country. This wound has not yet healed, it is constantly scratched; 1 can get the impression that there are individuals in Poland whose sadistic pleasance is constantly tampering with it.
Meanwhile, people watch the movie and cry. They see president Kaczyński with his wife Maria erstwhile they confidently board the plane. They traveled in Tupolev many times, nothing can happen, the aircraft is after a method inspection. They are protected by the armor of the machine, a white eagle on the red shield under the cockpit windows and a white-red chessboard on the rear wing. There are military pilots behind the rudder, the best of the best. He watches over the full General Blasik, top-class specialist, top-class military pilot.
The president is focused on an event in which he will attend in a fewer hours, but is inactive reasoning about recent visit to Vilnius and talking to president Dalia Grybauskaite. He did not enjoy the decision of the Lithuanian Parliament, who rejected a government bill allowing the spelling of Polish names according to their wording.
The president's wife made an appointment with her daughter that right after she returned from Katynia, they would meet in Sopot, granddaughters miss their grandmother, they have so much to show her. Maria is going to tell Evuni and Martynce about meeting with Polish children from Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine, who came to the country for Easter holidays.
People watch the movie and cry. They see Lieutenant Janek, they look around, they watch, they see if the presidential couple has taken a seat on the plane. He's 37, he's a fit, strong man. It was a very experienced BOR officer who served in the protection of Ryszard Kukliński, Pope John Paul II, who protected 2 prime ministers, president Kwasniewski, and now cares for the safety of Lech Kaczyński. My wife, a journalist, was left at home. Joanna Racewicz And their small boy Igorek, who came into the planet 2 years ago, is looking at his father.
Two platforms with stairs moving toward the hangar, the device moving slowly, majestically, approaching the runway. There's a warm atmosphere on board, the president's joking with his coworkers, he's in a large mood, he's convinced to attend the celebrations. special guests, beyond divisions. There is Anna Valentynovich, president Kaczorowski, General, MPs and Senators, government representatives, people of culture. Elite.
Tupolev rises into the air, moves distant from the airport, the black streak of exhaust remains in the sky for a fewer minutes...
People watch the movie and cry.

Four years ago Lieutenant Janechka's wife wrote online:
Tomorrow, on its eleventh anniversary, in serious suits and anointed faces, there will be more delegations here to decorate the graves with tons of bundles. Until the stones run out of air. They'll be wearing masks, ladies and gentlemen, and only eyes will be kept... Will they come in the name of request or duty? For tribute or politics?
... Carry the coffin of a friend on his shoulder – a large thing. But bigger – take care of the living. There are statues more durable than bronze. At your fingertips. beautiful and smiling. I live by 1 of them. Thank you, son.
