New details on crashed plane in Russia with Wagner boss Prigozhin on board

That is THE highest window a Russian official has fallen out of so far. . .

Poor man's plane fell out of a window. Well that was completely unexpected.

[iria]

What a complete and total surprise. Who could have seen this totally random accident coming? I’m sure we are all shocked by this.

[ronaldcole]

Engineering feat to push that entire plane out a window.

[AmySorrellMusic]

That wasn't a passenger list, it was a hit list.

His biggest mistake was not finishing the job when he had the chance. He could have taken Moscow. It seems everyone but him knew his fate would be sealed by his failure to finish the job. No sleep lost here. He was an evil man.

It wasn't a plane crash, it was a special gravity operation

[AlohaSteve]

Embraer E-Jet family, which includes the E170, E175, E190, and E195 models, has had no fatal accidents since its introduction in 2004.

[Punisher]

Imagine being a pilot and seeing Prigozhin board.

[adrianpaniagua]

My question is; is there a body? Just because his name was on the passenger manifest doesn’t mean he was actually on the plane. Has his body been recovered and positively identified?

[cajones]

He lived 2 months longer than I thought he would.

[dbmorton]

Falling out of an airplane window can be deadly for the the other passengers as well.

[bradleyestabrook]

Geez it’s almost like no one saw that coming…
Crazy

[peteroliveiraglobal]

My condolences to the thousands of families who lost their loved ones during the Wagner Group's criminal actions 🙏

[enadegheeghaghe]

It was either going to be a window, a balcony, a drink laced with Polonium or a plane crash. It was inevitable

[slappy]

Prizgoshen should have kept going to Moscow, He had the momentum, and others would have joined in.

[ronaldcole]

What exactly are the odds of jumping out a window and landing on a plane?

[dinosaur]

I don't know about you, but if I saw Prigozhin board a plane that I was already on, I would walk right the f off. Actually, I would run to the exit as fast as I could.

[TIROSK]

Wise man once said "if you come at the King, you best not miss"

[BigBadJerryRogers]

They couldn't get him to stand close enough to an open window
