    It seems it might have been a "force majeure" ----they were said to have heavy fog with a visibility of 5 meters!

    I've been watching on the BBC and they have live feeds. They have not even gotten to the crash site so everything now is conjecture.

    I'm thinking they're not saying more to project a stable government image. I think he's dead.

    Search teams locate wreckage site - state media

    Search teams have found the crash site of the helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi, state TV says.
    The head of Iran's Red Crescent society has told state TV that the situation is not "good".

    he be dead

    The head of the Iranian Red Crescent said the rescue teams have reached the site of the crash. And in minutes, the rescue teams are going to reach the wreckage of the helicopter as well.
    So now, we are receiving the videos from the rescue teams. They’re saying that the entire cabin of the helicopter is significantly damaged and burned. And they say that as of now, there are no signs of the survivors on the site.

    Iran: “Israel was behind this! Holy War has begun..”

    Israel: “no…we weren’t behind this…but I’d be great if we were”

    There are so many folks that want Israel to go down. I can't figure that out.

    I've said this before...Everyone in that part of the world has hated each other for so many centuries that not one of them can put a finger on what incident began the hatred...And the only thing that matters is to be the last one alive to take the last breath before dying and knowing that all the others died first......Ben

    Yeah, Ben, it isn't gonna stop in our lifetime.

    Raisi will not be missed.
