In the video footage, four alleged gunshots can be heard (Listen closely at the 1:07, 1:17, 1:23 and 1:26 marks). After the first shot, the cameraman says something to the effect of "what the f***" as he appears to flee the crash site. After more shots and shouts (some say the Russian translation of the shouts are commands to shoot and later to pull out), the cameraman repeats his earlier phrase, and the video ends.
Here is the translation of the story from a Polish Web site:
"Author of the video seen by everyone by now has been stabbed near Kijow on 4.15 and transported in critical condition to the hospital in Kijow. On 4.16 three unidentified individuals unplugged him from life support system and stabbed him three more times. Andrij was pronounced dead that afternoon. Russian government claims it was a coincidence."
Whether this is true or not, I believe it deserves the benefit of a doubt. The plane was filled with important Polish heads of state (including the president), bankers and parliament members, who were on their way to commemorate the 70th anniversary of a World War II massacre of 22,000 Polish officers. The murders were covered up for a long time. Here is a CNN piece that elaborates on this.

After the Toyota issue broke out, the U.S. government played a major role in the auto recall. Public opinion shows that the U.S. is deliberately making a show of power by pressuring Toyota and seeking to promote its domestic automakers following the financial crisis. However, the U.S. is using its national power to fight the mighty Toyota and protect its own consumers. Globally, Toyota recalled an estimated 8.5 million cars, of which 6 million, or 70 percent of the total amount recalled, were in the United States. Aside from Toyota’s high sales in the U.S., the U.S. government’s harsh attack has little to do with the recall.

EVELYN PRINGLE / Natural News The United States has become the psychiatric drugging capital of the world for kids with children being medicated at a younger and younger age. Medicaid records in some states show infants less than a year old on drugs for mental disorders.
The use of powerful antipsychotics with privately insured children, aged 2 through 5 in the US, doubled between 1999 and 2007, according to a study of data on more than one million children with private health insurance in the January, 2010, "Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry."
The number of children in this age group diagnosed with bipolar disorder also doubled over the last decade, Reuters reported.
Of antipsychotic-treated children in the 2007 study sample, the most common diagnoses were pervasive developmental disorder or mental retardation (28.2%), ADHD (23.7%), and disruptive behavior disorder (12.9%).
The study reported that fewer than half of drug treated children received a mental health assessment (40.8%), a psychotherapy visit (41.4%), or a visit with a psychiatrist (42.6%) during the year of antipsychotic use.
"Antipsychotics, which are being widely and irresponsibly prescribed for American children--mostly as chemical restraints--are shown to be causing irreparable harm," warned Vera Hassner Sharav, president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, in a February 26, 2010 InfoMail.
"These drugs have measurable severe hazardous effects on vital biological systems, including: cardiovascular adverse effects that result in shortening lives; metabolic adverse effects that induce diabetes and the metabolic syndrome," she wrote. "Long-term use of antipsychotics has been shown to result in metabolic syndrome in 40% to 50% of patients."
The lead researcher on the study above, Columbia University psychiatry professor Mark Olfson, told Reuters that about 1.5% of all privately insured children between the ages of 2 and 5, or one in 70, received some type of psychiatric drug in 2007, be it an antipsychotic, a mood stabilizer, a stimulant or an antidepressant.
Psychiatric drugs bathe the brains of growing children with agents that threaten the normal development of the brain, according to Dr Peter Breggin, founder of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP), and author of about 20 books, including "Medication Madness."
The drugs themselves are causing severe disorders in millions of children in the US, he warns. "Substances like antidepressants, stimulants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotic drugs cause severe, and potentially permanent, biochemical imbalances."
In an age of information overload, I put it on myself to dig up important world, health and political news and information that's often buried by the mainstream media.
