The current official statement is that it appears to have been the accidental result of pilot’s error.

The loss of so-many high-ranking Polish leaders is not only shocking to Poland, but will realign their power structure as a nation.  If you are a praying person, pray for the people and government of Poland, that they might be able to transition to new leadership as smoothly and with as little unrest as possible.  Deaths of leaders are always hard, especially in light of the politically charged circumstances surrounding this tragedy.
