BREAKING:'No sign of life' detected at crash site of helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi, others, Iran state TV says

[gunnut]

Damn shame Ali Khamenei was not with them.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Signs of life” means somebody jumping around at the crash site signaling for somebody to rescue them when you fly over.

Dead bodies don’t do that.

When they actually land at the crash site they will find them.

[Scrambler Bob]

OK, now I am interested to tune in MSM news tomorrow, just to see how they characterize this?

[SVTCobra03]

Karma is a bitch.

[seabeeson]

Why does the name Mossad come to my mind?

[jigsaw]

He’s now Raisi Crispy.

That was a really hard landing.

[devere]

You are giving them too much credit.

[dfwgator]

Are the CNN announcers dressed in black?

[Gnome1949]

So, apparently earlier reports of a “hard landing” of the helicopter were accurate.

I always thought a “hard landing” was one you could walk away from. I guess the definition of a hard landing is different in Iran.

If there is “no sign of life” at the site, it must have been an especially hard landing.

Happy Day for Iranian citizens.

I wonder how much this will affect Iran on the world stage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was wondering the same. It will definitely have an affect.

My understanding is that many many Iranians were dancing in the streets and celebrating...it will be interesting to watch it unfold.

[rktman]

Winkin, blinkin, or nod likely.

[metmom]

Rumor has it, the Iranian people are not grieved over this.

If it was truly a helicopter crash, then he’s likely dead.

OTOH, what a way to get people off your case if you want to *disappear*. Get killed in a crash and have your own government confirm your death from unidentifiable remains.

So I will wait and see. And see who they blame and if they try to use it as an occasion against Israel.

[norcal joe]

I doubt they’ll find the bodies.

“Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, a deeply religious scholar...”

“’No sign of life’”

Islam ist tot?

Rolls Royce cars never break down. They do occasionally fail to proceed.

Iranian helicopters never crash, they just have hard landings.

If there is “no sign of life” at the site,
= = =

In one sense, these guys never did have any ‘life’, the kind that humans like to enjoy, and the kind they liked to suppress.
