It´s still hard for me to believe what happened...I was not an enthusiast of the President and his views, but is a tragedy to the whole nation and to all the families who lost their next of kin. There hasn´t been a greatest catastrophe in Poland since the war.
I seriously hope people will respect the memory of those who died and won´t start making up conspiracy theories. Some Polish forums already comment that Russia might have been involved as the president recently commented they would stab us in the back too many times. I hope people will take it as it is - a tragedy and a terrible loss due to an unfortunate combination of weather conditions and possibly human mistake.
The plane they were on was very old, that´s true, but it underwent a substantial repair last year and was in perfect order.

From the news so far the Russian response has been great and truth is that they have been making positive steps towards reconciliation with Poland recently, Putin has commemorated with Tusk the Katyn massacre earlier this week. Of course there will be conspiracy theories as to what/who caused the crash, but as long as the investigation is open and transparent, the facts will be obvious. At this point it seems like the biggest cause was the pilot´s decision to land in Smolensk, despite warnings about the bad weather and advice to land in Minsk; apparently earlier that day (or night) there was a Russian plane that was going to land in that same airport, but decided not to due to the weather.
And yes, the plane was old, but it was completely renewed last year, with new engines, controllers and interior.
So what angers me most is the deaths that are caused by human arrogance (and human evil in other circumstances), deaths that are preventable, but happen because someone gives themselves permission to play with other people´s lives!
