Always tragic when someone doesn't make it, no matter the cause, in my opinion.

Do anyone know what will happen next? Will the vice president take over?

We don't have one. However, there were already preparation to election at the beginning of Autumn. From now on things will speed up.

But apart from president, many other important personas were on the board, such as Polish National Bank chairman. For next few weeks there will be terrbile chaos.

This is a tragedy of unseen scale.

there is in Polish constitution that the Marshal/chairman of the parliament is taking the duties of the president until the new  one is elected. He has 14 days to propose a date of elections and election has to be on Sunday about 60 days after its announcement....

I read a bit more about it. According to my news media (I don't find them very credible though) the airplane tried to land in a thick fog.

I'm surprised, would it not be the general idea if the conditions of landing is unacceptable to turn to another area to land and then continue to the destination when the conditions provided by environment improves?

Maybe it wasn't so bad they thought, then they were misinformed by the airplane? Or just plain bad luck in a normal safe condition?

I reckon the Veep will probably take over, because tragic accidents such as this will bring more sadness to a country that had already lost so much during the second world war.

My sincere condolences to the friends and families of those on board.

Not all irony is funny, there is also tragic irony. But to each his own.

Ummm, holy ****, this is a big deal. A huge chunk of their executives just simultaneously got wiped out. I'd think a plane like that would be redundantly safe. Smashed into some trees in a fog? Wtf.

When I have seen the reporting on the TV, I have been rather shocked. It is very big tragedy.
I understand, that all citizens of Poland now grieve. Believe - we grieve together with you.
