Wagner Group's Prigozhin on passenger list of flight that crashed, Russian officials say

Mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led a brief armed rebellion against Russia earlier this year, was on the passenger list of a private jet that crashed Wednesday, killing all 10 people on board, emergency officials said. It wasn't immediately clear if Prigozhin was on the plane.

Did the plane fall out of a window ? ...

Crossing Putin is usually a fatally bad idea. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy though.

[lindascharfe]

Just because his name on list doesn’t mean he was on the plane

Oh my. What a coincidence 🤔🤔🤔
Kind of like the fell out the window gag but more spectacular.
Was only matter of time.

“Russian officials say” ……………. Lol good thing they cleared that up I was worried we would never find out the truth.

Pilot error ....he accidently flew into the path of a missile

[haloisawsome]

At least its more creative than falling out a window or falling down stairs

[raynac]

accidentally fell out of the worlds highest window

If I would have seen this dude get on my plane... I would have gotten off of it. From the moment he decided to head towards Moscow, he was a dead man. Bummer all those innocent people were taken with him

It almost looks like Putin had a camera set up for the event . Bet Putin watches this a few times. Shades of Adolph and Stauffenberg

[vanman]

Bet he's regretting NOT marching all the way to Moscow. I know I am.

I don’t know. In this world there’s no country no government no administration no regime you can trust. His name was on the list does not mean he was actually on the plane. Maybe that was by design and he’s walking somewhere on the beach living his life happily and after

If it's true that Prigozhin is gone, then the world just became a better place.

Comrades: Why not just go home and live peacefully, have a few more glasses of Smirnoff and watch Boris Badinoff reruns? It sure beats taking a bullet!

[ThePhysicalReaction]

Perhaps he's wondering why you'd shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?
We need someone in the wreckage, brother.

[K_End]

Im sure this was an "accident" 😂

[breadtoasted]

I actually was waiting for this news. Especially after threatening Putin

[acurarl]

Kind of hard for a plane to fall out the sky like That.

[CagedMan]

Let them go after Blackrock mob bosses next!
