Poland is grieving the loss of a head of the country- President Lech Kaczyński, his wife and 94 other important political figures that died in a tragic plane crash in Smoleńsk, Russia, on Saturday morning. The Polish delegation was flying in from Warsaw to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn mass execution of thousands of Poles by Soviet forces during the World War II. The machine crashed during terrible weather conditions- the fog limited sight to 500m. The plane broke into 2 pieces after its second try to landing. The body of president was found and returned to Warsaw.
What horrific news to hear at the beginning of a weekend while drinking a cup of coffee. I simply couldn’t believe what I was watching on TV. All the channels were talking about the same thing- crash of the president’s plane. How shocking. I think the whole world experienced the same feeling. This is the biggest loss that happened to Poland since the Katyn tragedy. It’s so difficult to believe that Poland lost so many incredible people who made the country better in the last 3 and half years.
Everybody unites in mourning in Poland.
We will all always remember every good thing that Lech Kaczyński and the rest of Polish political figures did for Poland.
This is so unbelievably sad :(
