In crash died our president, Lech Kaczyński, first lady Maria, along with 12 members of parlament, 2 senators, 3 deputy ministers, and many others parlament and government highly officials.
Also 3 persons from presidential staff, 9 priests (most of them were chaplains), 6 army generals, 15 WWII combatants and 8 secret service guards. 
Here in Poland, we all (no matter of our political preferences) regreat that loss. Irreplaceable, extraordinary persons died there.

Well said. My condolences to your country's loss. This must really be a black day for you. Your friends here share your sorrow, mate.
