Default Polish President and wife killed in Tu-154 crash

Very sad news but the Tu-154-M has made more victims.
This time it was the official presidential Tu-154-M that crashed near Smolensk airport in Western Russia killing the president, his wife, the governor of the Polish national bank and almost 90 people in total. More recent info even speak of around 130 victims. Cynically enough the plane was in Russia for events related to the Katyn massacre.

I am sure more details will become available as more news becomes available.
RIP to those who were on board.
