    Plane crashes are near impossible to happen by accident in modern day aviation. That plane was either deliberately crashed or shot down.

        This and horticulture. I’ve got to go with the crowd on this one. If you were to compare it to a famous accident like Air France Flight 4590 or 9/11, it doesn’t fit the profile of a mechanical accident. The plane falls right out of the sky seemingly missing its wing with a large area of smoke above it. That to me indicates a missile strike. I cannot say for certain whether that’s a military missile or a natural one but I’d bet it’s that.

    Oh no, i really wanted him to eventually succeed with his coup ^(/s)
    Very sad it ended like that however, as always with all deaths.

    I’ve read from western medias that the russian medias have been destroying his reputation for the last months, i.d.k. if that’s true.
    The only weird thing would be to have chosen the b.r.i.c.s summit as a good time to kill him, almost every other days would have been fine, but that’s quite probably not enough of a reason to have doubts on the culprit, they’ve perhaps seized an opportunity.

    To keep you up to date on the confusion, since I can’t very well stop it from spreading, state media are saying this, Wagner-affiliated media say “don’t trust the state media”…and don’t provide any alternatives, and there is some confusion about a second plane of Prigozhin that turned around back to Moscow. Also, a pinch of rumor about Prigozhin sightings in Mali and a dash of speculation about staged death and preparation for ceasefire.
