Thanks for finding it. Did you watch it? Those are gunshots and the videographer is saying "Fuck me" when he hears the shots.
A working link was provided by wonder warthog in post 20. If you still are skeptical it’s because you have an agenda.
Did anyone see this last paragraph????
“Putin and Tusk landed at the same Smolensk airport just three days before Saturday’s crash to participate in their own Katyn commemoration ceremonies. For their arrival, special navigation equipment was brought to the Smolensk airport to provide additional safety. It is possible that this equipment was removed before Kaczynski’s plane landed. That would add even more fog to the mysterious crash.”
Minor correction. I didn't post the link. But given the circumstances and the strategic energy positions involved (and past Soviet tactics), Russian involvement wouldn't surprise me at all.
I subscribe to Stratfor. I receive as many as a dozen foreign affairs e-mail analyses per day from them. Their sources indicate a strong Russian hand on the ground in the coup in Kyrgizstan ten days ago and immediately following. Putin is on the move knowing that there’s a puss in the WH.
btw, I ran the video by a Russian friend. It is she who gave me the translation of what the cameraman said.
see post 20 for the video link.
I was wondering, and there is a comment at the video link as well, could the gunfire heard be rounds from the bodyguards on the aircraft? I watched it once, but didn’t see anyone walking around - the video was too jumpy. I’ll watch again.
At @ 1:03 you can see one, then another dark-clothed guy moving left to right about sixty yards out in the right quadrant. It's just a glimpse but it's there. Look at it in full screen.

Will give it another look when I get home and can make use of a better monitor.
They are outlined against the white of the fuselage through the trees.

I wish I could afford to suscribe to Stratfor. It is about $495 a year isnt it?
How do you see them?
I'm a bit of a FA junkie but the Foreign Affairs quarterly has shifted hard left in the past ten years. I find that Stratfor always gives me something that I didn't know and frequently prompts me to dig deeper on my own.
Stratfor e-mailed a notice of a pakistani national being arrested in Chile for entering the US Embassy with traces of explosives on his clothes. He was there to renew his US visa (that's right, renew it).
Not a word in the US press about it.
Although I read that / saw that somewhere....can't remember where.
Anyway...thanks again.
On the subject, the person known as Faith Zorbe is leading the charge to prevent drilling for gas in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. She cites concerns over water supply.
She is the Science director of the Alliance for Resource Monitoring at Dickinson.
She is truly an American enemy
