The Boland Show, Tuesday 13th April @ 11AM
On Saturday, President Lech Kaczynski and scores of other senior Polish figures were killed in a plane crash in Russia. Polish and Russian officials said no-one survived after the plane apparently hit trees as it approached the airport in thick fog. Russian media reports said the pilots ignored advice from air traffic control to divert to another airport and that the presidents’ apparently reckless insistence on landing cost the lives of some of Poland's most distinguished military and academic figures. Edward Lucas is the Central and Eastern Europe correspondent of the Economist and talks to Boland about the effect this crash is going to have on Poland
