Saw it on the news at work today. Just totally horrible.

I guess Katyn wasn't done taking lives...

My sympathies to the Polish people.

...Tu-154 "Careless". I guess NATO codenamed that one right. A plane that's careless with people's lives...

Even the best planes can't land in thick fog without ILS support from the airport. So maybe we shouldn't blame it on the plane until we know more about it....

My sympathies to the people of Poland and to the families of those that lost their lives.

Very sad times in Poland, I just hope that things will change for the better after this.

Here are some pictures from today when the Presidents remains arrived to Warsaw.

....yes yes....when I name an object, that object physically becomes what I've named it. Hitting a wall with a head indeed.

My sympathies to the Polish people.

Happy Times · 04-11-10, 07:50 PM

My deepest condolences from up north to the Polish people because of this tragic incident.

That it happened on a trip to pay homage and commemorate the victims of Katyn makes this even more tragic.
I can only imagine the sadness that Polish people feel at this time.

RIP to all, they will never be forgotten.

As tragic as this event is - and with all my heart I offer condolences to the nation of Poland, I do want to point out that this has done quite a bit to bring to light an important part of history.

Not many knew of the Katyn Forest Massacre, and while this attention is painful due to its cause, it is only fitting that the government of Poland show that even today, it stands in both grief and pride, for the sacrifices of so many.

Lest we ever forget.

May all the victims of tragedy - Requiescat In Pace

I saw a story on this crash on CNN. I realize that the news is biased, but I was touched by the genuine emotion the Polish people seem to feel at this loss. I admittedly don't know much at all about Polish politics, but admire what I have seen as far as love for their fallen president. I'm kinda embarrassed that the US wouldn't feel that kind of pride if the situation was reversed.

I have read a bit of European history, and admire the Polish people for thier place in it. I wish you luck during these troubled times.
