President of Poland Killed in Plane Crash

Unbelievable.

MOSCOW — Polish President Lech Kaczynski and some of the country's highest military and civilian leaders died on Saturday when the presidential plane crashed as it came in for a landing in thick fog in western Russia, killing 96, officials said.

Not to be too morbid, but it really is miraculous that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often.
