As a Pole i'm really upset by this situation. President, minister of defence, president of the Polish National Bank and some army chiefs are dead. It sounds very bad If someone would start war with us we will lose due to problems with goverment...

Poland received another kick in the butt

My picture with Jerzy Szmajdziński, former Minister of Defence and intended Presidential Candidate for this year's election.
Picture made 2 months ago. I am the President of youth town council, that's why I had a special meeting with him. We talked and he wished me everything best in my future. Today he died in a tragical catastrofy..

All victims R.I.P.. Poland is plunged in mourning.

Yes, officially - weather conditions - fog all around. Pilots tried to accelerate and give up landing attempt, but they hit the trees with a wing. There was a fire then, and plane crashed.

Another thing - pilots were suggested by the service of SMOLENSK ATC to land in MINSK due to problems. Pilots refused.

hmmm the second theory is strange...... The pilots know that they was with the president of Poland + several ppl on board.... why they refused?
Anyways..... 

[FlameMan]

It's not a second theory. Its a fact from the "first theory".
