Blogger Ed Driscoll was the first to inform us of the plane crash in western Russia in which over 130 people perished, including President Lech Kaczynski and his wife. All the passengers, including many top government officials, were going to Smolensk to observe the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, where some 22,000 Polish military officers were wiped out. The Russians said that the crew of the Tu-154 aircraft disregarded the advice of Smolensk air traffic controllers to land in Minsk, which was not obscured by thick fog.
FOX News has a video report as well as an article.
