Bomb took down plane: investigat­or

-

A BRITISH air accident investigat­or believes there were explosions on board a plane before it crashed, killing Polish president Lech Kaczynski.

Frank Taylor’s findings challenge the original reports of the Russian and Polish authoritie­s.

They blamed pilot error for the crash in Smolensk, Russia, in April 2010 which killed 96 people.

In his first TV interview, Mr Taylor told Sky News said: “I think they did not do a thorough investigat­ion.

“What I can say is there is no doubt there were explosions on board before the aircraft hit the ground.”
