By the sounds of it, he’s most likely dead.

[Jirix]

Rough landing in one sentence with helicopter means only one

[gigler]

How do you hard land in a mountain, it’s a crash.

[mh-htfp]

You dont "search" for a helicopter that "hard landed". They crashed.

[sks]

Hard or rough landing in the mountains? Anyone who flies a helicopter knows that it's a crash landing.

[ShoshanaBrand]

There are many wild animals in the area, just sayin'

[bavery]

Hard landings into the sides of mountain cliffs are often low on the survivability scale...

[nicholasakatu]

There's no hard landing 😂😂.We just know of crush landing, emergency landing and plane crush.Stop sweet wording facts

[jdaze]

Pilots make this fundamental error often and I cant figure out why. Flying a helicopter in fog is a death sentence.

[stevenolive]

Lets hope Hungarys President was holding his hand at the time.

[bballstar]

Take your time rescue team. There is no rush.

[A..]

See it online just now he's dead

[kevindelaney]

Hopefully he was wearing his seatbelt. Oh, & his table & chair was in an upright position. Although he could well be resting up side down.

[hhzyuww]

The executioner is executed by the IRGC. He executed thousands of political prisoners . He wasn't elected by Iranian people . He was temporary selected by the supreme leader.

[infi]

I never asked for anyone's death but this man. He is evil.

[ArifaAktar]

O Allah keep Ibrahim Raisi alive. I will pray for him. May Allah keep him alive. And get him well soon. O Allah, You are the Merciful of Rahman, You are the ocean of kindness, the ocean of mercy

[prasadjonnalagedda]

they may find a black box showing audio of the pilots, revealing sudden encounter of a cliff in the mist and shouting to go-around desperately!

[ARLegend]

This was immediatley after his meeting with Alyiev on the boarder of Azerbaijan and Iran. There will be a deep investigation into this coincidence. As many say there is no such thing as a coincidence ;)

[dynasty]

The man has passed. The real story is, does Iran now get a more secular leader who wants to develop its economy be and be friends with its neighbors?

[LindaMadlala]

Days of advanced transponders and mobile devices locations should be difficult to find, except for bad weather.
