    On the news, they’re blaming a lot of things like the weather, sanctions causing Iran to not be able to get adequate repair parts, possible pilot inexperience, amongst other things, but you just know it was Israel.

    Iran lobs missles at Israel, and then the Iranian president winds up dead a few weeks later? That’s classic Mossad right there.

      It’s reasonable to imagine.

      It’s also reasonable to imagine internal power struggles, or mechanical failure.

      Don’t buy anything. We’ll probably never really know.

      Honestly it just sounds like the president intentionally ordered the flight to take off when the weather wouldn’t have been clear for it and the pilot would in any other circumstances with any other passengers have been able to cancel it outright.

        Yeah, but it was a convoy of 3 helicopters, and the one carrying the president was the only one that didn’t make it. So, why was the weather an issue for only that one chopper?

          Bad weather isn’t a death sentence, it just increases the chances of an accident. Nothing strange about some units making it.
