Translated from Polish news site:
The plane crashed Smolensk President Lech Kaczynski Tupolev 154-M. The Approach to land the plane most likely caught in a tree. The fire is extinguished - said Paszkowski. Russian Ministry for Special Affairs reported that 87 people were killed.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Piotr Paszkowski told TVN 24 that the board was President Kaczynski and his wife, deputy head of the IPN and Diet Jerzy Szmajdzinski. Lech Kaczynski flew to celebrate the anniversary of the Katyn massacre.
Regards, Rob.

Re: Polish Presidential TU-154 Crashed
My Polish is not what it used to be anymore, but on Polish television I can clearly distinguish the word "Tupolev" (which is obvious with 132 passengers on board).

Re: Polish Presidential TU-154 Crashed
Hi,
From msf:
SKY news reporting that a Polish Government T154 (c/s PLF101) on a flight from Warsaw crashes on approach to Smolensk, Russia (Polish President and wife on board - no survivors)
Suggest it is Tu-154M 101....
Very sad news...
Regards,
Maurits

Re: Polish Presidential TU-154 Crashed
does this have consequences for the participation of Polish F-16s in Frisian Flag?
