The titled is very provocative journalism; it should have read the president of Iran DIED in a crash.. not killed. And the passenger also died

[MirceaKitsune]

Anyone above the age of 10 understands exactly what happened here. Question is if and which side will admit what truly happened, or if they'll pretend it was a just ridiculously impossible accident in a vain hope of not escalating something that will escalate regardless even worse as time goes on.

I think we can apply the “Good Riddance” factor here.

[HKim]

Ironic that it was leftover American made helicopters from the Shah. Obviously, those are really old. And, sure seems to go against bad guy America to be transported in American hardware.
