Smolensk plane crash
Apr. 10th, 2010 09:56 amThe plane carrying the Polish president, his wife and various officials just crashed in Smolensk, due to fog while landing
I'm... numb. I didn't vote for him, but oh, he loved cats (and Cats the musical), couldn't stand dancing vampires, during a visit to Japan his wife got dressed up in a kimono and squeed like a teenage girl showing it off to reporters. The military bishops (Catholic and Orthodox) were there too, and the guy who was the last president of our government-in-exile during Communism.
Past tense, already, and I hope, hope so much for survivors...
EDIT: Confirmed no survivors. Head of the National Bank of Poland, too, and top three or four of the major opposition party (which the president was part of). And all due to an ancient Russian plane that they were to replace ten years ago and got bogged down in public procurement. 87 dead.
