This has got to be the most predictable death ever

[cuzcohusky]

I’m just surprised he survived that long

[josephtalmadge]

Imagine being a pilot and seeing Prigozhin step on your plane

[ked]

"The aircraft crashed shortly after a mid-air collision with a surface-to-air missle"

[taterlane]

“Authorities are unsure if the missile hole on the side of the plane had anything to do with the crash” 😂

[ignitionSoldier]

Oh what shock... who would have imagined a Putin enemy dying in an "unfortunate" accident.

[justinmccurry]

Imagine how many windows he walked by before boarding that plane, then he sat down and realized he was in a window seat. He had no chance.

[JoelGrant-iely]

It's tragic that the innocent were sacrificed to accomplish this :-(

[warhawk]

Man it's really unfortunate that Prigozhin fell to his death up a flight of stairs, into a plane and out the window

[guywithcoolusername..]

This has to be the biggest 'BRUH' moment 💀

[Wil_Liam]

Who did not see this coming, please raise your hand??

[williamwaters]

If I were the pilot of the plane and knew that I had to fly Prigozhin somewhere I would have called in sick.

[kazolar]

Prigozhin had a chance, and didn't take it. When you come at the boss, you better not miss or back down. This was inevitable.

[oIRONITEo]

How could this have possibly happened?

[denniswallace]

Oh my God that's so horrible his family must be so overwrought with sadness at his sudden and unexpected passing

[praymojo]

Did the plane accidentally fall out a window?

[Cursed_Mark]

It was an accident. He probably just slipped on some poison tea and fell out of the plane's window.

[eustoliosalinas]

Exactly I was wondering when his " accident "; would happen 😮

[jintsfan]

Top tip for air travellers in Russia. Ask to see the passenger schedule before boarding.

[AndHatingIt]

His plane was accidentally hit by a Russian missile that accidentally fired off the rails of a Russian fighter that accidentally took off with a pilot who was accidentally flying it after accidentally waking up and accidentally putting on his flight gear and accidentally pulled the trigger after his commander accidentally got on the radio and accidentally told him to do it.
