Poland's Presidental plane crashed in Russia - Pres confirmed dead

[Old Ducker]

I'd have to disagree with your assessment of the debris field anything now is mere speculation, but having worked a few crash sights it looks like a long path plowed through the trees with debris scattered all along it where it broke up as it went, he just sank into the trees on final. Not much fire though, I wonder what his fuel state was. It'll be a long time before, if ever, we know what really went wrong.

My sympathies to the Polish people they have endured much throughout history, and they will they will overcome this as well.

If it broke up on the ground, why are there so few large pieces of wreckage? There should be big chunks of wing and tail. The landing gear assembly looks as if it fell out of the sky. Usually when a plane is reduced to fist-sized pieces, its because it came down at a steep angle, but in that case the debris field is small and a crater is produced. Looks to me like a large mid air splosion when the plane was on approach.

No, 96 people total. 8 were crew, so 88 were in the delegation. Among them were many different people, not all politicians/gov officials. It' just media talking mostly about them.
But yes, there were at least 10 lawmakers, 6 generals, many gov officials...

If I were tossed in prison until I discovered how to pronounce your name, it would be a life sentence.

I'm talking to a kid who lives in Poland. He said that many business' are closing tomorrow as a grief day or something. Do you think that would happen here in the USA if Obama died like that?

It should be a day of relief.

Do you think it was the Russians or Germans that took him out? I can already see Merkel and Putin negotiating a split of Polish territory.

I dont wish any man death, even Obama.

It would only strengthen his cause anyway.
