Dark Day For The Poles

This morning there was a news on TV while i am exercising. It was in Polish but i don't know what is actually happening. Then I come to find out that the Polish President and scores of others have been killed in a plane crash in Russia.
Polish and Russian officials said no-one had survived after the plane apparently hit trees as it approached Smolensk's airport in thick fog.
They were flying in from Warsaw to mark 70 years since the Katyn massacre of thousands of Poles by Soviet forces.
It is unclear how many people were on board.
Polish officials said the delegation was 88-strong, while local officials said 96 people had been killed.
Russian investigators had earlier said there were 132 people on the plane.
There were loads of important people on that plane :
- Polish president.
- The president's wife
- Poland's last president-in-exile
- head of the National Security Office
- presidential aide
- presidential aide
- deputy parliament speaker
- Deputy Foreign MinisterGen.
- head of the army chief of staff
- minister in charge of WWII memorials
- head of the National Bank of Poland
- head of the National Remembrance Institute
- lawmakers
- civil rights commissioner
- army chaplain
In Front of the President Palace. (near university)

This huge cross i've never seen before but that day while im on my way to the university, the bus took another route as the route through the president palace was blocked. So, the bus went through that route and i saw this huge square and there was this huge Cross there with candles below.
Rest In Peace to all of them.
