Fox apparently doesnt have an overnight staff. It took them like an hour to report on the Chile earthquake.

Sorry to hear of this. Poland, I’m sorry for your loss folks.

It will be interesting to hear what happened here. You would think the Presidential plane would be rather safe.

“the world is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we CAN imagine”

I’m not ruling anything in or out at this early stage. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Russians arranged for some sloppy ‘maintenance’ in Moscow before the plane took off.

Oh, wow! What a loss! I have often said that Poland is a beacon of light in a Europe darkening with socialism.

I share in the sadness over this news for his family, friends, and the Polish people.

Note to all, please let us know who has the news first out of the cable channels. Not finding anything yet.

Imagine if CNN breaking news would say Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s plane crashes in JFK or Hugo Chavez planes exploded while landing at JFK?

And to that I say ...quite possible. Even though I will wait for more evidence to come through, I have to give it to you that stranger things have happened.

I feel bad though ...I really like Lech and his identical twin (who also happens to be the Prime Minister). It is a loss.

I don’t know. I turned on the TV and can find nothing on Fox, CNN, or MSNBC. It’s not even on Google’s front page yet.

A bunch of stuff if I do a Google search:

“...There have been 63 serious flight incidents with Tu-154s, including 36 hull-losses with human fatalities. Six of those incidents resulted from terrorist or military action including an intentional shootdown by Israel, an accidental missile shootdown by Ukraine, several from poor runway conditions in winter (including one which struck snow ploughs on the runway), cargo overloading by airlines in the lapse of post-Soviet federal safety standards (several cases), and mid-air collisions due to faulty air traffic control or mis-communication. Other incidents have resulted from mechanical problems (two cases prior to 2001), running out of fuel on unscheduled extended route, pilot error, and cargo fires. According to the BBC and aviation experts[who?], the Tu-154 has an average safety record considering its length of service (and heavy use in the most demanding conditions), and few accidents appear to have been due to technical failure...” (Wikipedia)
