I got sick of the is he/isn't he...then more search crews went missing...a real flustercuck. Oh well, at least those screeching "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" singalongs are down a couple.

Anyone got a hose? Those mainly hard landings leave a mess.

I’m thinking this is round 2 of Israel’s version of AT&T’s reach out and touch someone jingle. Version 1 happened when Israel sent a volley of rockets into the mountain side next to their nuclear power reactor. Apparently they didn’t get that message.

"Bodies of the deceased were hiked out of the remote region of the crash. They had to be physically carried on stretchers by rescuers who spent hours reaching the site amid difficult Sunday and overnight weather conditions.

State media has since indicated that aboard the presidential helicopter were nine people in total, including body guards and clerics. Their aging Bell helicopter had reportedly "hit a mountain and disintegrated" amid high fog, low visibility conditions. This was not at all the "hard landing" the world was initially informed about Sunday via state officials and media.

Iran’s Red Crescent chief Pirhossein Koolivand has told international media that his team is "transferring the bodies of the martyrs to Tabriz" and that "the search operations have come to an end."

Very quickly, theories emerged over the question of foreign involvement or a covert plot to assassinate the Iranian head of state. Israel has been quick to deny speculation of its involvement:

On Monday, an Israeli official denied involvement in the crash, telling the Reuters news agency: "It wasn’t us."

Raisi, 63, was widely regarded as a hardliner in the country and was nicknamed the 'butcher of Tehran' over his role in sentencing thousands of Iranian prisoners to their deaths in 1988.

I felt a great disturbance, as if thousands of voices on US college campuses suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

It doesn't matter that much to me, either.

Based on the one article I read, Iran said it was mechanical failure, but they could just be trying to save face bc they got "got".

If it was bc they couldn't maintain the machine why were they using it for their prez?
