I feel really bad for them, they lost like all their head honchos. But what was the polish government thinking when they were using such an outdated plane? I just looked up the Tu-154 and it was introduced in 1972. I mean shouldn't the leaders of a country have the best and most advanced equipment/vehicles? And poland isn't a poor country.
A lot of old designs are still flying today. The 747 comes to mind.
1972 is actually pretty recent considering.
thats true, but I just feel personally feel like the polish government neglected to invest in the president's safety, especially in hiring an experienced pilot. What kind of idiot tries to land when you can't see the ground because of fog?
