  1. Attention: Polish Government I question the activity that happened in the mechanics in the plain in Poland. The Victims do matter to The County of America! Eastern Europe please take note of this event an be weary of any possible human caused disaster through technological advanced technology! The cause and investigation should and could affect the relations of other nations in the region as well as certain countries in the world!

  2. All those who stood for morals, faith and a free Poland are lost in one tragic event where history remembers another…. As history teaches us it takes a Monumental Disaster to bring a Nation together to stand and speak out against the wrongs, and injustices being done.I pray this is the wake up call all Polkas around the world need to awake their spirit within and unify under one banner and one flag. May the Christ King have mercy on their souls. Wieczny odpoczynek racz im dać Panie, a światłość wiekuista niechaj im świeci. Niech odpoczywają w pokoju. Amen
