What makes this different from other tragic plane crashes is that it held the senior leadership of Poland to include the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/eu_russia_plane_crash\">President Lech Kaczynski.<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The crash devastated the upper echelons of Poland&#8217;s political and military establishments. On board were the army chief of staff, the navy chief commander, and heads of the air and land forces. Also killed were the national bank president, deputy foreign minister, army chaplain, head of the National Security Office, deputy parliament speaker, Olympic Committee head, civil rights commissioner and at least two presidential aides and three lawmakers, the Polish foreign ministry said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So this is going to be complicated in how Poland will react will to the sudden loss of these people.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nRossiya-24 showed hundreds of people around the Katyn monument, many holding Polish flags, some weeping.<\/p>\n<p>Poland&#8217;s parliament speaker, the acting president, declared a week of national mourning. Tusk called for two minutes of silence at noon (1000GMT) Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The contemporary world has not seen such a tragedy,&#8221; he said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you may have already read that a plane heading for Russia crashed with no &hellip; <a title=\"Tragedy for Poland\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=18502\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Tragedy for Poland<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":610,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-foreign-policy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/610"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18502\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
