Robert Dziekanski, a Polish immigrant, died in the arrivals lounge of Vancouver International Airport after RCMP officers used a stun gun on him on Oct. 14, 2007.

He had wandered the airport for six hours in a secure area controlled by the Canada Border Services Agency, unable to effectively communicate with anyone because he was Polish and spoke limited English.

At around 10:30 p.m. PT on Oct. 13 Dziekanski moved on and presented himself at the secondary customs check, where he was granted landed immigrant status at 12:30 a.m., according to the Vancouver Airport Authority's CEO.

Dziekanski had several interactions with various border services officers. Witnesses have told CBC News that Dziekanski appeared confused and agitated when they saw him at 1 a.m.

Police arrived shortly after that and have said they jolted him twice with a Taser, intended to incapacitate people with an electric shock. He died minutes later.

Notice the quality of the video still in the report, and notice how many different cameras got a glimpse of Dziekanski. Compare that with the security video we got to see from the 9/11 attacks. The footage and stills showing the 19 hijackers were nonexistent except for a couple of extremely poor quality stills that proved absolutely nothing. In other words, the attackers were not who the US government claims they were.
