Looking at the fatality list from Wikipedia, it looks like a large number of important representatives of Poland perished.

Especially it seems like all commanders-in-chief of the Polish military died in the crash, together with some ministers.
Maybe somebody can confirm this, the article states the airport in Smolensk has no ILS, which under that conditions is really a huge hazard, since you can only land visual if you can see something at all.
For me its still hard to believe what happened! It's surely one of most dark and sad day for my country Don't know what to write more...

Couldn't find any relevant information about ILS at XUBS/UUBS. I only found a middle marker (БПРМ) on the approach path on a map.Maybe somebody can confirm this, the article states the airport in Smolensk has no ILS, which under that conditions is really a huge hazard, since you can only land visual if you can see something at all.
