About four hours ago, a Tupolew-154 with 96 of the most important politicians of Poland, including the president Lech Kaczyński and his wife, crashed while attempting to land in Smoleńsk, Russia. The Polish officials were traveling to Russia for the 70th anniversary of the Katyń massacre, in which 22,000 Polish officers were mass-murdered by the Soviets in WWII. There were no survivors; this has been called the greatest tragedy in the history of Poland.
