Volcano Ash has caused many Dignataries to cancel their attendance at the Polish President's State Funeral
A giant cloud of volcanic ash, spewed into the sky by an eruption in Iceland and drifting across Europe for the past several days, caused Obama and other high-ranking mourners to cancel their flights to Krakow. But Kaczynski’s family, led by his twin bother, Jaroslaw, insisted the ceremony go ahead, apparently in an attempt to allow normal life to resume in a country that has been seized in mourning.
