Reports are coming forth with witnesses stating they saw 2 bright flashes accompanied by what sounded like blasts.
The body of Poland's first lady Maria Kaczynska was identified by her wedding ring - with her husband's name inscribed on the inside - and the colour of her finger nails. Many of the bodies are so badly mangled they will require DNA matching.
Chunks of the plane were scattered widely amid leafless trees and small fires in the woods. A tail fin with the red and white national colors of Poland stuck up from the smoking debris.
Reuters interviewed a man who saw the plane crash that killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski and some of the country's highest military and civilian leaders. The man stated,"I had been here 15 minutes when I saw the plane flying low, and I saw something serious was going on. It was cutting, cutting trees. Then over there, there was a big noise. Boom! Like a bomb."
Some aviation experts have also stated that the damage to the Tu-154, as well as its debris scatter, appears too extensive to be consistent with the crash landing of a plane flying so close to the ground.
