Although travelling by plane is alot faster than by train , this is another reason why most russians rather take train than the plane.
The polish delegation ,along with the president of Poland have died in a planecrash in Russia on their way to to events which marked the 70th anniversary of the massacre of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet secret police in the Katyn forest.
Why did they use a 26 year old soviet Tupolev plane to fly the president?Strange.
Anyway , if you haven't read about it ,here is the link.
