warszawski: They died while on a official state visit to Katyn, lets look at the numbers 100 Mln Pln ( 25Mln Euro) thats about 250,000 Euro a head, its not a lot of money, when you start to think about, the positions these people held. And? If it were private, they could sue for negligence. But, it was a government flight, good luck suing them. The majority should have had insurance.
Soldiers that die in combat in Poland don't get that kind of money, why should these people?
Teffle: Plus, don't mean to be crude or insenstive, but isn't it possible that in terms of salaries, pensions, expenses etc that they could well have cost the state even more had they lived? Economically it doesn't make sense, you're paying for a person who's not doing anything because they're dead, and someone hired to replace them. If their positions would have died with them, you'd be right. Not cheaper by a long shot.
