To my Polish readers …

Please accept my condolences. The crash is a terrible tragedy for your nation.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Bill: my understanding is that they were actually flying to that area to celebrate improved relations between Poland and Russia on the anniversary of the slaughter. The irony is biting, and runs deep. Condolences to our Polish brothers and sisters.
according to news reports in both western and russian media at this point they are calling it human error, reportedly the pilot was attempting to land in heavy fog, down to ground level, and on his fourth attempt he came in too low and hit trees and crashed. its still too early to judge, wait until the investigation is complete.
