#2 Poland Leaders Air Crash

Recently, some 96 people have perished in a fateful air crash as they were nearing an airport in Russia to attend the anniversary of the Katyn massacre. Amongst the dead were some of Poland's national leaders. They were flying on the 26-year-old Tupolev (a plane). The highlight was the death of Polish president Lech Kaczynski.
