Polish president dies in air crash

A plane carrying Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president, has crashed near Smolensk airport in western Russia, killing all on board, Russian officials have reported.

Polish officials confirmed on Saturday that Kaczynski was on board the flight with his wife, as well as Slawomir Skrzypek, the president of Poland's central bank, Andrzej Kremer, the deputy foreign minister and the army chief of staff.

The crash occurred about 1.5km from Smolensk airport in foggy conditions.

Bardzo mi przykro z tytułu utraty Polska. Amerykanie, którzy kochają Polska wierzą w swój smutek.

I am sure Obama will offer any assistance Poland desires (whether he really cares or not).

A Facebook page? Really?

Indeed, it's always tragic to see good people die. I have seen the list of people that died in the crash. A lot of good and brave people died. I really don't know what to write... I'm shocked.
Whole nation is shocked.

CNN International reports that Lech Wałęsa and Lech Kaczyński were very close friends.

Yes, many yers ago, but not the last 10 years or so.

"Lech Wałęsa and Lech Kaczyński were very close friends." Long time ago. For 20 years they had been enemies
