The Tu-154 plane crashed near the Smolensk airport, about 400 kilometers (275 miles) west of Moscow.

Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife were aboard the plane, according to the Polish foreign ministry.

I expect at least 50 Polish news articles this week about how dangerous traveling by flight is.

Placeholder signature. Will probably replace this tomorrow.

And EVERY on-top polish site is in flood by this information.

It can be furious... but It doesn't matter now. Light the candle on this place.

You could post it in our language section, I think non-polish people do not very care about this (no wonder). But (I MUST WRITE THIS) they were flying 40 year old aeroplane which have been repairing every 2 travels (!!!) That was pure stupidity, but now... well, it's very sad that 132 people have died due to this. I can say nothing but R.I.P.

Now that Poland has no government for next 60 days until election.
What kind of fucking joke is that?
It was actually fault of THAT government, why? Because normal people wouldn't transport over 90 executives of Polish government and civilians (!) with one airplane that's over 40 years old and was supposed to stop flying 20 years ago!
No matter how you look at it, Poland's the easiest target for attack right now.

@strager:
Poland was never a communist country to begin with. It's just thanks to influence of CCCP.

Smolensk, my city. Local news programs are discussing this event for a whole day. This is actually a precedent that never happened before, that so much members of country government with it's president die in an accident while travelling to another country. Never seen our local administration building so lively and loud, everyone was hurrying somewhere.
The fact those people were flying there to go to memorial built in memory of polish people that died in WW2 makes all this thing even more sad.
Also, today's day has became new peak of activity at local webforum. Smolensk has been a quiet city for a couple of years, and now this happens...

My opinion > your opinion.

I'll bet five whole dollars foul play was involved somewhere along the line.

Trees can't attack planes. Jews can attack planes.
Coincidence? I think not.

On a more serious note, this is terrible. I feel bad for Poland.

It ends.
