The President of Poland, his wife and a raft of top political and military leaders were killed yesterday in a plane crash in Western Russia- the plane was carrying the delegation to Smolensk to mark the anniversary of the infamous Katyn Massacre during World War II, where thousands of Polish troops were massacred by the Soviets on Stalin's orders. The entire nation of Poland sounds like it's in shock, understandably so, as their nation mourns its loss.
The BBC has an obituary here... and my thoughts and prayers are with Poland today.
