This one is going to be a big investigation, wonder if human error or sabotage was involved.

Very tragic indeed. I am wondering why the Polish put all of their high level government officials on the same plane. Many countries put their top level government officials on different planes to mitigate risks such as this.

The pilot had been asked by ground controllers to divert to one of two alternate airports because of the poor visibility, but persisted and tried to land in Smolensk.

They say a combination of fog and pilot error, you would think they would have their top pilot for the President :-x
