WOWWWW

WTF is going on???

Helicopters gonna helicopter.

This is indeed huge news.

Interesting to see how this will play out. Will there be 3rd party investigators on the ground to verify information that might spring up with potential accusations that this was a deliberate attack?

If this was an attack, pretty sure they would be screaming about it by now.

The heavy fog makes it seem very similar to the Kobe Bryant copter crash.

Fog and helicopters don't mix.

If this was a freak accident and it ended up killing them, it would be akin to a "Putin was just found dead at his dinner table. The cause of death is believed to be airway obstruction by a foreign body. Kremlin officials state that he apparently choked on an artichoke while having a midnight snack. Investigations are still ongoing" situation.

It's actually quite profound to contemplate the idea of such a banality leading to a significant change in the course of world history.

I can already hear Netanyahu and his henchmen dm'ing each other with shit like, "Halleluyah, Jehovah listened to our prayers."

Helicopters are dangerous.

Huge news. It could be an accident, but if it's not, suspect number one is Israel. Just writing my thoughts. I hope it's the first option because the second could ignite an ugly war.

They are probably dead either way. Crazy times!

Hopefully they will get some must needed freedom

When a crocodile snatches you.

Even if the president of Iran tragically perished, I don't see how it would destabilize the country like some such as Kyle Kulinski have been saying might happen. The Ayatollah, who is the supreme ruler of the country, is still alive and well. Plus, they have a vice-president, who probably will be next in to take over as president of Iran.

Moreover, Iran really doesn't want to start a real war with Israel and/or any of its allies.

Justice straight from the source, no Mossad middleman was needed here.

Exactly. Especially when they are an under-maintained and ageing fleet due to sanctions placed on Iran. I'm sure Iran is not a shining example of aviation safety.

I hope Western leaders seize this opportunity to show solidarity with the people of Iran and emphasize that, beyond politics and ideology, we have much more in common. Tonight, death, the great equalizer, has reminded us of this truth.
