Polish president's body 'found' in crash wreckage - source

18:0510/04/2010

The body of Polish President Lech Kaczynski may have been found in the wreckage of the plane that crashed earlier on Saturday in western Russia, a highly-placed police source told RIA Novosti.

Speaking from the scene of the clean-up operation, the source said however that "additional tests, including DNA," would be needed to identify many of the bodies.

All 97 people on board died when a plane carrying Kaczynski, his wife, and a delegation of senior officials crashed in thick fog while attempting to land at Smolensk airport.

Kaczynski was on his way to a ceremony in nearby Katyn to commemorate the memory of some 20,000 Polish officers killed by Soviet secret police during World War Two.

He was ‘troubling’ for both Zero and Putin.
‘Nuff said.

Repeated tries at landings in the fog. Yeah, I guess Russia doesn’t have ILS approaches at their big airports. This stinks big time.

First thoughts on reading this story, assassination of Archduke Ferdinand starts WW I.

We have a man-child in command, and 0bama cannot even recognize when his betters at the game of global domination have a victory. He grins when they launch missiles, he delivers a speech while they arm missiles with nuclear bombs. Let's have a few more negotiations, is his first and every answer.

Just a first thought, will today go down as a flashpoint too?

Check Google Earth!. It isn’t a “big Russian Airport” at all. Single runway and only small planes located on ramps and parking areas.

That's a pet-peeve of mine. Check out the BBC's news site sometime. They're insane with the quotes.

It's as if they're afraid that a headline reporting an occurrence might be attributable to a third party, so they quote the hell out of descriptive words like 'found'.

Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria, pray during a canonization ceremony led by Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican Sunday, Oct. 11, 2009. The pontiff gave the Roman Catholic church five new saints Sunday, including Father Damien, born as Jozef De Veuster in 1840, a Roman Catholic priest from Belgium who cared for leprosy victims on the Hawaiian island of Molokai from 1873 to 1889, when the disease killed him. The other new Saints are 19th century polish bishop Zygmunt Szczesny Felinski; Spanish faithful Francisco Coll y Guitart and Rafael Arniaz Baron, and Jeanne Jugan, a Frenchwoman described by Vatican Radio as an "authentic Mother Teresa ahead of her time."

My first thought on opening Drudge and seeing the red headliner... “Dear God, this is the first day of WW3!” Of course it won’t be mentioned as such for a while yet.
