The plane with Polish president, all top army commanders, and many other top polish officials on the board crashed. They were all going to Katyn for the 70 years anniversary of massacre of 22,000 polish officers and citizens made by Russians in 1940. I've never liked our president Lech Kaczyński but he was great opposition to the government, many times putting a veto on bad acts of parliament. On the board there were also many other very important for my country persons like for example parliamentary ombudsman of Poland Janusz Kochanowski which I've always respected for good guarding citizens rights.
