I saw it a couple of weeks ago. I liked it a lot. It was interesting to get the Polish take on the massacre.

The news report over here said there were all sorts of high ranking military and civilian persons on board. Apparently the plane was trying to land in bad fog conditions. -- Al

Given the current tragedy this movie might be of more interest. I did buy it some time ago, but have yet to watch it. I'm way behind, but will try to watch it this weekend.

Condolences to any Polish members. In my youth I visited Poland several times. One of the most memorable was a stop in a small village late at night just across the border crossing from Czechoslovakia. The border crossing had taken hours, and we were beat. Only one small hotel where we got rooms. Dining room was closed, but they managed to find some leftovers. Got to love duck. The hotel was apparently the only social gathering place in the village. The band was playing Glenn Miller. When they found out we were Americans we were dragged to the dance floor and toasted with schnapps. Good time, and needless to say we got a very late start the next morning on the way to Krakow.
