100,000 in Warsaw Mourn Dead Polish President
Sirens wailed and church bells rang as an estimated 100,000 people gathered in the Polish capital to say goodbye to their former president.
Many filed into Warsaw's Pilsudski Square carrying red and white Polish flags with black ribbons to mourn President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and 94 other people, including many top officials, killed in last Saturday's plane crash in Russia.
Interim President Bronislaw Komorowski told the crowd that with the accident, their world came "crashing down."
