CNN is reporting that they are in contact with 2 members that were on board. So it may not be as severe as once thought.They've been saying this since basically right after it crashed, and we've heard nothing more since then.
Oh, maybe I got an old update.The claim also came from Iranian state TV, which means it's not trustworthy.
How does one survive a helicopter crash? I can think of nothing more unsafe than a spinning death machine with no doors.The definitely have doors. Usually doors that slide open similarly to that of minivan.

How do you get into a helicopter that is doorlesshttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8a4452ca.jpg
That's not quite the answer I was expectingI mean unless youre flying some Russian Soviet era helicopter with only two doors
You think all helicopters are doorless?The helicopter was a Bell 212.
Holy shit. Stopped being produced in 1998.Vehicles larger than cars stay in operation a lot longer than cars.

The last plane I flew on (in '22) was manufactured in the '70s, for example.
yeah but I bet hose cars have spare parts readily available.The Bell 212 is used by many private and commercial operators, it is particularly popular in the oil industries and for law enforcement use.

You can find spare parts with a quick google if you dont want to buy from Bell themself.
what are sanctions?Countries like India got none.
what are sanctions?
At this point if Khamenei kicks the bucket any time soon things are gonna get real spicyHe's only 85 or so. Practically a kid.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5c204024.jpgWow I can't believe the US had some convoluted plan to shoot down a helicopter in poor weather with an unarmed cargo plane that people can track online instead of just using one of the several hundred stealth jets in the USAF inventory
If he's dead this has a chance of getting real ugly real fast
Putin is in awe of the ingenuity. "You mean there are ways other than windows?!"I'm sure he's aware. After all, Prigozhin was airplane accidented to death.
This guy being removed from the Iranian line of succession is a good thing. He's a hardliner famous for being a death squad goon. Him potentially being the next Ayatollah would NOT be a good thing.
How long until right wing "media" finds a way to make this Biden's fault?They already do because of the maintenance being sanctioned for the Iran aviation from the US. Instead of saying pilot error they are blaming the US for not being able to keep these machines well looked after.

Now to hope whoever does succeed Khameeni (cant be asked to look up the correct spelling) is a better fit for peace.

Supreme Ruler of Iran has told people "not to worry". That's about it.
so whatever happened to that guy who said not to worry?Not on the helicopter unfortunately
