Polish presidential plane pilots 'ignored dispatcher warnings,' high quality cockpit transcript confirms

The crew of the Polish presidential plane, which crashed near Smolensk in 2010, ignored repeated dispatcher warnings, Polish TV channel TVN24 reported. The broadcaster says it analyzed the new and “clearest transcript” version of the cockpit recording.
The channel got hold of a “digitally cleaned” audio recording of the last 38 minutes of the flight of the presidential Tu-154 airplane. In this version experts managed to decipher nearly 40 percent more sound. “The recording allows us to understand the situation in the cockpit and is proof that the pilots ignored numerous warnings,” TVN24 said, adding that one can hear the crew joking and laughing. 
The pilots were warned several times by air traffic control that visibility in the fog was limited to about 400 meters. Half an hour before the tragedy, a Belarusian dispatcher in Minsk reportedly informed the crew of the poor weather conditions and low visibility.
