Respect and Mourning for Poland

[LuxLuthor]

Poland just had a horrible national tragedy, losing most of its top leadership in a plane crash that killed 88 people.

Poland is a wonderful country, with wonderful, generous people. My maternal grandparents immigrated to Chicago from Poland, and were some of the finest people I have ever known. This is a major tragedy for them. Sincere condolences sent.

Sad news indeed. It will take some time for them to recover from this blow.

My father's ancestors hailed from the Suwalki area in Poland.

I was greatly saddened to hear this also. Apparently the pilot chose to ignore the tower's instructions to land at an alternate airport.

Poland has had more than its share of tragedies, but the Polish people and their government will recover now as they have in the past. Recovery will be harder for the families of the lost - our prayers are with them.

Hooked on Fenix I really do not feel your post has any merit here and while it may not be your intention to do so it could lead this thread way off topic.

Lets leave this thread to pay respect to a good people who have lost many of their own and leave the political comments out please. Again as this is a tragedy we wish to discuss I will let it run for now however please understand the sensitive nature of some comments...even if they are made with good intentions.

What a tragedy. My prayers will go out to the politicians' families and the Polish nation.

Robocop, I apologize for my off topic rant. I sincerely hope and pray that the people from Poland recover from this tragic loss. My heart goes out to the families of those that were aboard the plane. While they mourn their tragic loss in the present, I worry about their future and what will become of the people of this great nation. I hope everything turns out okay and that they can recover from this loss. I pray nothing terrible like this happens again.
