I was really shocked when I heard that Poland's president had died.
President Lech Kaczynski and scores of other senior Polish figures have been killed in a plane crash in Russia.
Polish and Russian officials said no-one survived after the plane apparently hit trees as it approached Smolensk airport in thick fog.
Russian media reports said the pilots ignored advice from air traffic control to divert to another airport.
Poland's army chief, central bank governor, MPs and leading historians were among more than 80 passengers.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the crash was the most tragic event of the country's post-World War II history.
The Polish delegation was flying in from Warsaw to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre of thousands of Poles by Soviet forces during WWII.

Your reaction
The BBC's Adam Easton, in Warsaw, says the crash is a catastrophe for the Polish people.
He says Prime Minister Tusk was reportedly in tears when he was told.
After an emergency meeting of ministers, Mr Tusk, who runs the day-to-day business of government, said a week of national mourning had been declared with two minutes of silence on Sunday at midday.
Mr Tusk added: "The Polish state must function and will function".
Flowers and candles laid outside presidential palace in Warsaw - 10 April 2010
Thousands have gathered outside the presidential palace in Warsaw
A government spokesman said that according to the constitution there would be an early presidential election, and the speaker of the lower house of parliament, Bronislaw Komorowski, would be acting president.
In Warsaw, people gathered outside the presidential palace to lay flowers and light candles.
"I'm all broken up... it cannot be expressed in words," Ewa Robaczewska told Reuters news agency.
This accident breaks my bubble of security.I have always thought of presidents and prime ministers as "godly".This makes me think again.I now realise that no matter how powerful you are,you are still a fragile living human being.

My Profile
Wow.I didn' I was so...interpersonal.Or maybe I am not.I think that the survey is not very accurate because for most of the interpersonal questions I put them as "I do this more often than not".I also think that I am more musically smart than people smart.This is because I learn piano and my CCA is Choir.=.=I am not that "people smart".I also do not know much about botany and "body smart".To conclude,I think that this survey is not very accurate.
