Plane crash in Russia Polish president is dead

Terrible crash. Lech Kaczynski the president of Poland has died along with his wife and other high ranking officials. What a national tragedy. My sympathy to everyone involved. TU-154 is a pretty old plane though. (I did fly the Tupolev myself once back in the early 80's) Sad sad news.http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iVF6779laLoQqf-UdYjLw7H5Bw-AD9F04HA80

Sad news and commiserations to all loved ones for their loss.

Yes the 727'ski is an old aircraft but pretty. Been pax on the Aeroflot ones. Possible pilot error in marginal conditions?

Very sad day for the entire country.

To all of the Citizens of Poland,

Our thoughts and prayers go to you in this time of national tragedy.

According to the russian TV news, the pilot was advised to land to nother airport due to fog. The pilot made three unsuccessful tries, and what has happened later we all know.
What a tragedy. Our sympathy to all citizes and gov. of Poland

Ps. Statistics shows that all previousTubolev 154 accidents ( and there are quite a lot) were due to pilot error.

Terrible tragedy.
