Poland in Mourning

Today's word of the day according to dictionary.com is:  pyrrhic victory which means "a victory achieve at great or excessive cost; a ruinous victory.

I'm not really going to comment on this today.  I was looking at my twitter and saw a tweet from Obama about the plane crash today in Russia.  I thought "Great.  My aunt got on my twitter account and followed Obama."  But I looked up the plane crash because it is a very significant event worldwide.

BBC had a video of the crash site which was incredibly horrifying to watch -- there really isn't much left of the plane that was carrying many prominent Polish officials including President Kaczynski as well as many other prominent officials.  My condolences go to the people of Poland and I hope that the government is able to recover quickly and run well.
