Now, on more personal angle, the crash has been highly divisive in Poland.
Large part of society simply refused to believe, against all available evidence, that the Polish pilots could have simply flown into terrain while TAWS was screaming TERRAIN AHEAD.
The main problem is that before Smoleńsk there were already *three* military aircraft crashes, very similar to Smoleńsk - risky decisions, in violation of any safety rules, poor weather.
As April is nearing, the topic of Smoleńsk air disaster in 2010 reactivates in Poland 🇵🇱
A year after the crash it was 100% clear that the plane shouldn't even have left Warsaw by law, and certainly shouldn't have attempted landing in dense fog.
It was entirely avoidable, caused by a sequence of risky misjudgements and classified as "controlled flight into terrain".

Wow, paraphrasing Fawlty Towers, there's enough material for a whole psychiatric conference here! 😍

You're surely aware you're now using 100% Stalinist language?
Then, is Putin a Jew by this picture? That's something I haven't heard yet to be honest.

> it infact made a huge area unlivable
As result of radiophobia, not as result of actual contamination
> unclear how many die from more radioactive material being round
It is very clear today - none https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/10/fukushima-meltdown-did-not-damage-health-un-japan

> was it safe before, or did fukushima, show a weakness
EU plants were safe before and after Fukushima, most of even the old ones were operating without any incidents for 60+ years. The new ones are even safer, with tons of duplicated and passive safety features.
> Not sure about nuclear power is needed
It depends. If we want to decarbonize the world, nuclear power *and* renewables is the only scalable way to go.
The microblogging community has quickly turned to alternatives. Some took their chances in a centralized service called Twibe, which, after collecting substantial amount of personal data, was promptly hacked and vanished without a trace. The others, prompted by a fellow microblogger @zloygik, found refuge in the decentralized networks. On mastodon.ml alone the user count grew by 242 new members in less than 2 weeks. The censorship-instigated migration brought also some prominent members of Russian blogging community, who, in turn, continued to spread the word about their new discovery and encouraged new migrations. The influx of Russian Twitter expatriants continues, and it brings new challenges to the administrator structure of the Russian constellation. The tools to balance the registration of new members accross Russian-speaking servers are being created and tested. The new users are being welcomed and introduced to the new, unfamiliar environment.
On March 10th, 2021, the wave of new users started rushing into the Russian constellation of the Fediverse. Hundreds of people were displaced by the measures Russian state communication commission ("Roscomnadzor") has taken against the microblogging website Twitter, after their failure to comply with the order to remove the unspecified "Illegan Material". Under the sacntions, the Russian Internet service providers must throttle the traffic in order to make the service unusable, and further default on the Twitter's side will lead to a full and complete blocking of the website on the Russian soil.
Wow, this single post about Auschwitz attracted so many actual neo-nazis that I lost count blocking them 🤦♂️ Seems like we now have a whole new angry generation just waiting to repeat the whole 20th century totalitarianisms again.
Very much the opposite, genetics has clearly demonstrated the very idea of race is a fallacy. A good explainer:

Excuse me, there was one case - in 1982 a Green activist Chaim Nissim obtained a RPG and fired five rockets at unfinished Superphénix plant in France to demonstrate how terrorists can destroy it but he didn't even scratch the concrete.
> terrorist could easily through
Sorry, but this is FUD. You can come up with *any* number of hypothetical and very scary scenarios that involve terrorists and hydro power dams, and technically you can get tens of thousands of casualties from these scenarios, and then call for abandoning hydro power. The truth is no terrorists ever attacked either nucler, or hydro or any power plant.
> how much of each type of power is used
This is precisely why it's normalised per TWh of energy produced.
@kranfahrer Yes, minister of health Niedzielski just posted on Twitter.
The leaders of National Socialist Workers Party (NSDAP) actually believed they are humanitarian (!) movement saving human race from degeneration. Those they murdered were subhumans. There was a whole layer of pseudo-scientific bullshit around it, today largely forgotten.
Marxists-Leninists at the same time had similar tribal fixation on equally vaguely defined "class" and competed with Nazis in number of purged "bourgeois".
Auschwitz Memorial Museum:
20 March 1933 | A French Jewish girl, Freda Rojzner, was born in Paris.
She was deported to #auschwitz in February 1944 and murdered in a gas chamber.
