List of casualties of the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash
First, incomplete published list of passengers (scan of flight manifest in PDF): It has 89 items with #43 for Kruszyńska-Gust whited-over; Pogródka-Węcławek is missing so there are just 8 bodyguards marked with a cross
The Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash on 10 April 2010 near Smolensk in Russia killed all 96 people on board, including Polish President Lech Kaczyński and dozens of other senior officials. The Polish delegation was heading to Katyn to attend a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre in which the Soviet NKVD killed about 22,000 Polish military officers.
Among those killed in the crash were President Kaczyński's wife, Maria Kaczyńska, former President-in-exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, Poland's highest-ranking military officers, lawmakers, heads of the Polish National Bank and other central institutions, presidential aides, bishops and priests of various denominations, relatives of those killed in the Katyn massacre, as well as officers of the presidential security detail and crew members.

Not on board
Some early reports were wrong about the number or composition[1][2][3] as the official list of victims was corrected in stages; most notably because the flight manifest of passengers only, without names of the crew, lacked the name of the only female member of the nine Biuro Ochrony Rządu (Government Protection Bureau bodyguards), Agnieszka Pogródka-Węcławek. She was listed incorrectly among the stewardesses. Also, a female presidential aide, Zofia Kruszyńska-Gust, was supposed to fly but did not do so due to illness.
