It sounds like there were a number of congressional and cabinet members as well as union, business, security, and religious leaders aboard, as well.
What a devastating loss. |
As far as I know, Edward, there's always a cabinent member or vice president in a secure location. Even during the State of the Union there will always be one cabinent member missing. We wouldn't have all our eggs in one basket like this.

I want the people to know that they still have two out of three branches of the government working for them, and that ain't bad.

Kind of. The President wasn't on a plane in that case. An airline pilot crashed a 747 into the Capitol building during a joint session of Congress, killing most of the people inside including the President. |
Its probably just me, but with everything going on over there right now, I can't help but think that Putin is behind it.

Sad but this is the same thought I had |
Poland's President is largely ceremonial. Kind of pointless to target him, no? Maybe the other power brokers on board though.
|
Could this be the prelude to a World War?

Yup. I meant that everyone was in one place other then Ryan |

Good thing too. According to msnbc, Putin is personally taking charge of the investigation! |

I just heard that Putin is bringing in some guy by the name of Plissken to join the investigation.

This whole thing is terribly tragic. That's a crazy editorial cartoon. I can't believe that it isn't getting more coverage. And yeah, my first thought was conspiracy. From the sounds of the reports Russian ATC wanted the pilot to divert, but over there, because of radar issues, the pilot is allowed to override the ATC. So apparently he did. They shot an approach to landing that doesn't involve vertical guidance, just lateral, and with the fog, it sounds like he cheated, and hit the trees.

Much like you, my first thought was conspiracy but everything seems to be pointing to pilot error. |
I'm stunned that I haven't received one off color polish joke text message yet.

Q: Did you hear about the new automatic Polish parachutes? A: They open on impact. That what you wanted? |
Ok, this just sounds like the plot of a daytime soap opera:

This reminds me of an old book, "Road to Gandolfo" by Robert Ludlum. :)
