SMOLENSK, Russia – The crash of an aging Russian airliner ravaged the top levels of Poland's military, political and church elite Saturday, killing the Polish president and dozens of other dignitaries as they traveled to a ceremony commemorating a slaughter that has divided the two nations for seven decades.

Poles wept before their televisions, lowered flags to half-staff and taped black ribbons in their windows after hearing that President Lech Kaczynski and the upper echelons of the establishment lay dead in woods a short drive from the site of the Katyn forest massacre, where 22,000 Polish officers were killed by Soviet secret police in one of Poland's greatest national traumas.

Thousands of people, many in tears, placed candles and flowers at the presidential palace in central Warsaw. Many called the crash Poland's worst disaster since World War II.

 

Sometimes I wonder why the Polish government did not get a new plane like a American or European instead of a Russian one? Also,something is a bit fishy in Russia.

 

Damn, sad. RIP.

 

I wonder if they've gotten themselves together after this horrific disatser?

Economics & proximity. You deal with what's close .. particularly if it means shelling out less dough...and damn the quality

Always has been that way, m8..





'Nuff Said!!!!

Self preservation is always more important than saving money and proximity. They probably thought it was safe.

 

Yep. And look where they're at now..
