Truth edit

Wikipedia should not actively promote Russian propaganda. Please correct the article. 86.114.255.162 (talk) 20:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Which part do you think needs correcting because it is Russian propaganda?--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 20:48, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Linked video promoting conspiracy theory? edit

The first link under Audiovisual Materials in the External links section leads to a video titled "Smolensk surviving passengers executed at gun point." It shows a video of the crash site where audio seems to depict (de-aud?) the president of poland saying he's alive, then being shot. As I think it's generally accepted that no foul play was involved, I assume this video may be doctored in some way, and is likely promoting a conspiracy theory? I don't claim to know much about this topic at all, I just thought the inclusion of the video was strange and thought it worth bringing up. Aristaeusapiculturist (talk) 01:47, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Removed I agree that the audio on this is most likely faked. Peaceray (talk) 03:47, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Conspiracy theories are funny. Apart from being crushed by airplane structure collapsing on them, the crash subjected everyone on board to acceleration of over 100G. This resulted in [...]'s arm and leg being literally torn off from his body. A tragic fate but at least he didn't suffer.
What would be the point of shooting someone who lost his lims and bled out just seconds after the crash? 2A00:F41:C25:8A9E:6811:41FF:FE85:EBDE (talk) 00:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
One look at the crash site shows that nobody on board would have survived. People have been recycling this conspiracy theory since soon after the crash.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:31, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
