The Iranian people are so "shocked" they are partying in the streets with fireworks! Why are you not reporting on that?

I think this is the only crash in history where everyone is worried that someone might have survived

Rest in peace poor helicopter, and wishing a speedy recovery to the mountain.

Flying a nearly 50 year old helicopter in thick mountain fog. Iran is a clown show.

Let's hope no trees or animals were hurt during the crash.
