For those of who have not heard yet, The Polish president Lech Kaczynski was killed in a plane crash in Western Russia on Saturday morning. His wife, the head of the bank, and many top military and the chief of the military were also killed in that crash. In all around 96 people were killed. The nation of Poland is in shock and mourning for their fallen leaders.
The plane was headed to a ceremony to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre where over 20,000 defenseless Polish soldiers were killed by the Soviet Union. The place will now be remembered for two tragedies.
The Polish people are very patriotic and everybody has their flags hanging from their apartments or houses. The flags have a black ribbon on top of them to remember "Black Saturday."
This has been called the worst tragedy in Poland since World War II, and the Nation of Poland will mourn for their fallen leaders for a very long time.
