RIP.

Why oh why did they put so many dignitaries on the one plane though?

People would say the same thing about a sports team that puts their whole team on one plane, and if it crashes the whole team is lost. You don't really expect for it to happen. And to factor such things in and actually put people on different planes, well that just makes everyone more worried and doesn't exactly help.

That's how I see it. Plus they say how they didn't have the funds to get a new plane, and It's much cheaper to all use one plane, stuff like that counts too

Is it the UK where the Queen, Prince Charles and one of the Princes aren't allowed to fly on the same flight?

russian pilots fly 154th no problem, regardless of the weather. polish should have been more careful about whom they entrusted the lives of their whole government.

^^^^^^^^ you have to wonder about that

"Last year, Poland was the only EU nation to avoid recession and posted economic growth of 1.7 percent." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36352097/ns … pe/page/2/

Makes you wonder what Polish govt was doing to keep the vultures out. I would be hard to believe that that plane wasn't gps equiped... a little tweek and suddenly your 100 feet lower than you think you are..... new world order... and we're headed for a crash before November.

I thought the President, the one everyone seems to be talking about is just ceremonial and stuff? Same with France and everything right?

But yeah, it was a bit of a shock when i read how many officials died in it. RIP

My dad recommended that book to me but I dismissed it as probably being hocum. Is it worth a read?

well the conspiracy theory behind some of it seems a bit sketchy.  the guy gives too much credit to the NSA and their capabilities/role.  other than that though a lot of it makes sense.  Indonesia, Panama, equador.  this guy was involved with all these countries.

I laughed my arse off at CNN all day long for event.

"Plane hit tree, caught fire"

You mean it was flying like this shitty scarebus?


Along with that, a lot of people survived that crash.

I'm not buying it. I bet there was a missile incident, either intended or accidental.

Wait, 'shitty scarebus'? Doesn't the A320 series of aircraft have a vastly better safety record than their 737 series Boeing competitor? Aren't you also all about Lufthansa, an airline with a predominately Airbus manufactured fleet?

Not that I'm really into the whole conspiracy theory or anything, but you've gotta admit, the chances of the whole Polish cabinet getting taken out at once are pretty fucking low. I mean, you've got more chance of getting fucked to death by a horse than a plane crash. I guess it being a Russian piece of shit dramatically increases the odds though.

Airbus really is a phenomenally corrupt company.

From what I read it seems like pilot error rather than a crappy plane. You can be flying an F-22 but if you still fly it into trees it's not gonna be pretty, although I'm guessing if it was a more modern plane it would have sensors warning the pilot about shit. I'm no expert but flying low in unknown territory using VFR whilst its foggy is just a recipe for disaster, and it could be because his only option was VFR because of the plane...?
