I have read the French press and apparently this catastrophe was caused by heavy fog over Smolensk airport.Poland is hit by a tragedy here. What else can be said? Please accept my deepest sympathy.
I am with you and the Polish nation with all my heart, Agnieszka! This is terrible. 97 families are mourning today, 97 people were killed in that crash. They were Polish and they were Europeans too. We learnt about this awful event on the news. As you said earlier: May all rest in peace.
Dear Agnieszka,
We are all together with the Polish people on these surreal events.
The Romanian people send you our condolences! May all rest in peace and may God be with Poland!
Condolences to the Polish people!
Romanians are Close to You!
Our dearest Polish friends
Our deepest condolences for this unexpected tragedy. We wish that Poland will find the right steps to a hopeful future soon. We are praying for the victims too.
I share your unbearable pain. Please know that I feel your pain in my heart like any of you.From Turkey, our solidarity for your great loss. Our hearts are also in mourning. God bless your people in these difficult moments.
It’s an enormous blow for Poland . The first reaction was disbelief , because I didn’t think that this was true . But with time it started to dawn on me that the Tupolew had crashed , and later that Lech Kaczyński was dead and more.
It was a tragedy for our country.
Oh My God! This is awful! Rest In Peace !
