SNIPPET: “The mobile phones of everyone who was with the President are no longer working, according to officials.”
snippet: “The Polish presidential aircraft, a Tupolev-154, was attempting to land at Severny airport in Smolensk in thick fog, a Russian investigative committee reports. It crashed 300-400 meters off the landing path, Itar-Tass news agency reports, citing sources in Russia’s Emergencies Ministry.
According to preliminary analysis, the cause of the accident lies with the flight crew, Russian investigators claim.”
CNN International was just showing live coverage of Russia Today TV and they were showing video of the wreckage. There’s not much there but one of the large engines. Awful.
This puts me into a more conspiratorial mindset. "Not working?"
Cell phones can be made to "not work" remotely. It's been a facet of our domestic counterterrorist efforts for several years.
