Wow, that's shocking and terrible news... I don't know who he is, or how good of a leader he was, but I assume it's a terrible national tragedy for Poland.

together with his wife, Chief of the Army, Franciszek Gągor, Chief of the Air Force Andrzej Błasik and Chief of Special Forces Dariusz Zawadka and many other ministers.

Army seems to be paralised, curently role of president took Bronisław Komorowski, who is Marshall of the Sejm

[Sudayev]

I'm shattered.
Best men ... White-Red heart. White Eagle cries.

Nothing will be the same in Poland now.
Bless their souls, Lord.

President and First Lady, Former President-in exile, Parliament and Senate Marshalls, Chief of the National Security Bureau, Government & Parliament members, Armed forces Generals, Catholic, Orthodox and Evangelic church representatives, Veterans and their families. And many more. 80-100 people are no more. Faces you see daily on the television and news.

Cursed place, mass murder site where the soviet NKVD murdered 20.000 Polish generals, intelectuals, influental people.
They were all flying there for solemn celebrations of 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre. The same place cursed place devours another group of irreplaceable people.

10.IV.2010 The Darkest day.

Unspeakable.

Many priceless people have died, most notable 2 historical presidents of Poland.

Fully agree with Sudayev. Bless their souls, Lord.

This is a sad day for my country, probably it's the worst moment of current history. Not only the president and his wife died in this fatal accident, but the whole staff of the army commanders.

I'm truly shocked right now
