Did you hear about what happened to the government of Poland this weekend? Many of the top officials, including the President, were on their way to Russia. They were going there to have a ceremony honoring Polish people killed by the Russians in the past. It was a way, I guess, for the Russian people to apologize for past mistakes. The plane that all the officials were flying on crashed, and everyone died. Early reports are saying the pilot of the plane did not listen to the air traffic controllers who told him not to land the plane.
Almost the entire leadership of Poland was destroyed by this one crash. I think it will take a long time for Poland to recover from such a big loss. In the United States, I don't think the government allows a lot of government officials to travel together on the same plane. I guess now we see why this is so important.

i heard that, but i thought terrorist did that, since the subway blast just happen week ago. now i agree why persident and vic perident dont travel together. at least so far, we dont see the perident and vic perident die at the same time.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was that it was a terrorist, too. I guess it's still possible the pilot tried to crash the plane because of some terrorist plot, but I don't think investigators think that's what happened.

ReplyDeleteI think this was terrorist attack because couple of years ago terrirost tried to kill all top offocial people inculding our president. To killed everyone through plane crash was the golden chance for terrorist.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it terrible that all of us assume all accidents are now caused by terrorists? We have all lost our innocence since 9/11!
