Russia was last night facing claims of a cover up over the Polish presidential air crash after a series of shocking allegations emerged concerning the doomed Tupolev-154 in which head of state Lech Kaczynski died. Most extraordinary was the emergence of confusing footage which claimed to show the shooting of survivors by armed Russian-speaking men minutes after the crash.

The video, posted on the internet in recent days, has fuelled conspiracy theories suggesting that the crash was not an accident.

The video in question has been posted for weeks. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2492628/posts

The fact is Polish authorities are trying to speak to the person who took the video. As has been the case with this video, internet sites have been spreading rumors on the death of the person.

But the person lives in Smolensk and is known.

The other fact is this video has been kept out of the mainstream media for the month it has been seen by millions.

With such footage and it being authenticated, it is odd until now that it was never written about.

The person who took the footage would have first-hand account of what he heard and saw.

As of now, the Russian authorities will not allow the polish authorities to speak with the individual.

The Russian authorities state the video is a hoax.

The Russians spoofed the approach radar and caused the plane (flying IFR) to hit the ground, thinking it was near the runway.

It’s very easy to do.

Of course it is a hoax—why would anyone want to harm any of the officials on the planewhat would be to gain from the demise of the officials.

It's hard to believe there were any survivors of that crash.

Does it explain why the cameramen were still breathing?

Were not some of the bodies returned to Poland? Wouldn’t they have been able to tell if they were shot?

“Paging Ron Brown.”

I don’t think he’ll answer that page. I also don’t doubt for one minute that Russia isn’t capable of doing exactly what the video showed. Of course, the truth will come out with Putin leading the investigation. /s

Watch your back, my FRiend.

Of course they would let people filming the carnage just walk away to post the video on Youtube.

I’m reminded of the Italian journalist who claimed American troops were trying to assasinate her.....right before they gave her medical treatment and put her on a plane to italy.
