Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was reportedly on a helicopter that crashed Sunday as the regime continues to fuel its war against Israel through Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The details about the situation are thin, but Iranian media channels have asked for people to pray. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian may have also been on board. The Iranian government is holding an emergency session in response to the situation.


edit: different reports are calling this a "hard landing" due to bad weather and fog

He's very likely dead. Oh no...

Anyway, are there any good games on today?

Yeah, I heard about that helicopter incident involving the Iranian President and possibly the Foreign Minister. Reports are a bit fuzzy right now, but it seems like it was a hard landing due to bad weather and fog.

Not sure if this article is any more informative, but some others are reporting that he is missing.
Mountain terrain, dense fog, windy at times.

If it was a crash, I bet gravity and the planet were both involved.

So, they can’t find the helicopter but they know it was a hard landing. Hmm.
I guess a crash is an overly strong landing, I suppose.

I’d like to think it’s more like a rapid unplanned disassembly.

The aircraft reached the point where it lost the ability to sustain conditions essential for flight.

Or, what goes up, will come down. HOW it comes down is really all that matters.
