To the Polish flist members

I am so sorry. What a horrible thing to happen. It's as though the evil of 70 years ago is still echoing. There aren't any helpful words, only sorrow for those who die in public service and faith in your country's ability to recover from the hardest of blows. But surely you're due a century or two off now?

It's so awful. I just read an article on this ten minutes and shuddered. I don't even know how they're supposed to cope with that. It read like the majority of the major players in their government are just gone. But aren't there usually protocols for that? So things like this don't happen.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm just completely stunned by it. It's just horrifying. And so sad.

The coincidence of the two enormous public losses is just staggering.

Oh, I just read about it too - it's just so horrifying. Several lives gone, just like that. :(

It is really sad and tragic. At least there shouldn't be terrorists involved. Terrorism would make it even worse.

I couldn't help thinking about MS Estonia. The ship sank 1994 crossing the Baltic Sea from Tallinn to Stockholm. Whole towns and companies in Estonia and Sweden lost their leaders and other personnel. Not only too many lost lives but the incident left the mourning people to sort out a chaos.

I hope that the people in the crashed plane died quickly and didn't have to suffer.

Actually, if your read Polish history, we haven't got a century off since circa 1750s. But this plane crash was one of the most tragic events ever.
