Not only the president and the first lady have died in the plane crash, but also a few highly ranked officers of the army, the president of the central bank and more government officials. The whole governement has been truncated. Not to forget a 100 civilians.

There's no conspiracy theory to elaborate. The crash was caused a few seconds before landing with the plane being too low, and hitting a tree line.

96 dead including several generals, president of the national bank, head of national security etc etc

very tragic :neutral:

apparently, the pilot was commanded to land even though there were very bad weather conditions.
Because if they had diverted to Minsk they would be late for the ceremony.

No plane defects, strictly human error

blackbox has already been retrieved

The number of casualties varies from a source to another. I hear 88 and 132.

yeah it's strange, the russians are keeping the media away

they are still figuring out exactly howmany people were on board, since this was not a commercial flight with seating arrangement and tickets

[Aptyp]

well, if Poland doesn't mind, I'm sure Germans and Russians could help them run the place for 6 or so years, like we did in the 40's.


Seriously, though, tough loss.

[Luke!]

96 casualties, just confirmed

They probably tried flying the plane backwards. I kid. I kid.
