A plane carrying the President of Poland, and his wife, has crashed in Western Russia. Russian officials say the plane was carrying 132 people, including Lech Kaczynski. The governor of Smolensk says no one survived. He's quoted as saying "the aircraft clipped the tops of the trees, crashed down and broke into pieces." It happened on approach to a small regional airport, around 300 metres from the runway. The mobile phones of everyone who was with President Kaczynski are no longer working. He was heading for a personal visit to the memorial site where Polish officers were murdered during World War Two. The head of Poland's central bank, the deputy Foreign Minister and the Army Chief of Staff are among others reported to have been on board. Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered the creation of a state investigation commission headed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. More details as we get them, right here on RT.

I read from news minute ago that there are no survivor this is a big tragedy from Polish government. Possible that the vice president will be the president after this tragedy.
This mean 132 people died. It is true, under any constitution the vice-president will assume power when the president died or became incapacitated physically or mentally.
Hun Sen days are numbered because his plane or helicopter can crash any time.
I did a little more reading of the Katyn Massacre by Stalin from a Jewish descent; he said most of those murdered were Jewish people,
over 25,000 of them. This took place during the reign of Hitler and Stalin. One blamed the other for the massacre, then the Soviet finally admitted to the crime.
