plane crash

[Arkteia]

Horrible news about the crash of the plane with the President of Poland in it. I am in Moscow now (just came to visit my father) - the atmosphere is horrible. Many people are crying, flowers at the Polish Embassy, hotline with volunteers that speak Polish (I never knew that many people in Moscow spoke Polish). And this horrible, devilish place - Khatyn, where 30000 Polish officers were exec uted by NKVD (precursor to the KGB) during WWII. Finally, an attempt has been made to close this page...and here is what happened. Irregardless of the cause of the accident, it is such a tragedy...

Crasru: It would be a terrible tragedy for any country, but especially so for a country that emerged from communist rule relatively recently. I trust that in the long run, this tragedy this will serve to further unify and strengthen you homeland.

How tragic...

ETA: I just read that his daughter Marta also perished in the crash, leaving behind her small children. I can't imagine.

About this crush - it`s completely surreal. First of all
president !!!!and his wife too.
There were so many important people on board last
president from London, Kaczorowski, president of National Bank, chiefs of
the army, president of the Institute of National Memory, spokesman for Civil
Rights, president of Polish Olympic Committee, president of National Office
of Defense, ministers of Presidents Chancellery..., and the list goes on and on....
Unbelievable really.

It is an awful, awful thing. I am so surprised that so many important people were on the same flight.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by this tragedy.
