In the end it crashed in the trees at a high velocity and broke into pieces. Again, why it was flying so low, no one really knows yet. | ||

It's hard to imagine developed nations resorting to assassination on such a scale in modern times. The international fallout of such an action would far outweigh any advantages of temporarily beheading a government. | ||

Although many people may not have liked Kaczynski, the fact that he has many connections, many friends, great political experience, and other possibilities is something that will only hurt Poland. The same can be said of the rest of the people on the plane. People may not agree with their policies, but their some of the smartest and best people the country has to offer. | ||

Well I didn't say it was the likely cause, I just didn't write it off because a news report said the plane flew into trees and crashed. And think about the various other factions besides the Russian government that could have been responsible. Nationalists, neo-nazis, extremists, etc all could be responsible and acting on their own agenda. The timing does seem rather suspicious and I'd like to see a very thorough investigation before I can call it an accident. | ||

I don't think Russia had any part in this, although I'm sure it will drive anyone inclined toward conspiracy theories crazy. Poland still has its Prime Minister, Donald Tusk. | ||

There will be elections for a new president in the fall but I assume this was already planned otherwise it's one hell of a quick reaction. The remaining government will naturally meet today to determine the next steps. | ||

The remaining government will naturally meet today to determine the next steps. In theory, new elections should take place within a month or two (I can't remember the exact span of time, sorry, all I remember is that they have to be announced within 10 days) after the president can no longer perform his duties. | ||
