They didn't have the foggiest idea where they were going.

They never saw the missile coming through the fog.

Condolences to the helicopter, trees, and nature.

Lesson: Never fly an helicopter in the bad weather.

[johnwoytassek]

"Rough landing" you don't say not like the helicopter is in like a million pieces

[williambeavers]

Iranian Government: We will have a 5 days of morning..
Iranian people: That's a weird way of spelling "celebrating".

Helicopters can be very dangerous places particularly when you are attempting to fly in convoy with armed support helicopters under cover of fog and someone decides to specifically target yours

But how does this affect Taylor swift?

[Thurston.Howell.the.rd]

The US already claimed they had nothing to do with it. So there you have it

[Rick-qfde]

It was a hard high impact
With debris trail.., .. 😮

[ChiRusNkFUSA]

I still don’t understand why the pilot would take off

[richardgoff]

OMG. Like where do we send our insincere condolences to?

[cody]

The helicopter never had the makings of a varsity air vehicle

[moemo]

I wonder if those stupid hats survived

WHY A PRESIDENT WOULD FLY IN THAT WEATHER

[toriesepahmd]

Raisi oversaw the execution of 885 Iranians in 2023 alone. As an Iranian, all I can say is the vast majority of us are not shedding any tears.

[mindymorgan]

Why are we still calling it a hard landing? Is that the new PC way to say crash I guess?

[Miranda.]

How tf you get video footage from inside tho ?

[TATCHIWONG]

The helicopter was not powerful enough to fly at high altitude in foggy condition. It had no radar for instrument flying.

[Rick-qfde]

They were screaming oh Jesus we're goin !!! 😮
