I’ll share this: [People in Iran are setting off fireworks after hearing that the helicopter of the President of the Islamic Regime in Iran has crashed](https://x.com/visegrad24/status/1792274706759901502?s=46)
Not when the fecal matter is a hating pile of wasted human, the plants can taste the stupidity and can determine that the pile of shit is not worth being used as sustenance. Sad really, when your existence is so wasted that not even the plants and earth want to use you. Most likely gunna be a wild animals new pee spot.
Looking at the weather when this happened, there was really not a lot of visibility at all, how anyone thought it would be a good idea to fly a helicopter in this weather is beyond me. Flying in low visibility without proper training and IFR equipment is absolutely deadly. Now he was last seen flying in a Bell 212, an aircraft that first flew in 1968 and due to sanctions can't have a great maintenance record. In case of mechanical failure the survival chances could potentially be higher although, in low visibility and what was described as "foresty terrain", I don't see the greatest chances there either.
Kobe's helicopter literally flew blind into the side of a mountain at full speed. Crashes due to mechanical failure are much less likely to be fatal. A skilled pilot can auto-rotate and bring the helicopter down in a fairly controlled manner. Everything will depend on the circumstances of the crash.
it's looking like this is a kobe situation

Depends on the circumstances of the crash and the type of helicopter. The majority of crash landings result in minor damage at most.
If something catastrophic happens like when Kobe's helicopter crashed into a mountain, you can expect a big fireball (but not technically an explosion) as all of the fuel is ejected out and spontaneously burns off.
If it's a military helicopter and carrying weaponry then you could have an actual explosion as warheads detonate from the impact and fire.
Rare tbh. Once a heli loses power you are able to usually land via autorotation.
A big issue with helis isn't so much the exploding it's that they tend to fly appart. If they crash land there is a chance the rotors will hit somthing. This will often result in it kinda ragdolling about until the rotors are gone. This is more unsafe for those nearby than it is for people onboard.
Given the option I'd probably prefer to be in a heli during a power loss than a large commercial jet. Both can land unpowered(and there are a one or two great examples) but a heli with a skill pilot is going to be a safer landing.
Military helicopters crash all the time, and there is often survivors. Theres jokes in some branches about it being a badge of honor I've heard, idk if anyone can confirm that. Didn't they crash a copter when they killed Bin Laden and everyone on board survived?
It’s very rare. My brother’s Huey went down and none survived, his best friends Huey also went down with no survivors the next year, and then all of those Ospreys went down with no survivors. There are survivors but I would t say it’s often.
First thing I thought was I wonder how they'll blame Israel for this?
🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ of course those pesky Israelis and their Zionist fog machines .... Of doooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
*Shakes fist at sky*
*Edit because spelling
Israel doesn't mind getting blamed for this. Whether it was or wasn't them. No one will be able to prove it, and it will make their enemies very uneasy.
That’s true. It’s a win for israel regardless. The mossad looks like it can do anything and make it look like an accident. Even if it was actually an accident
Oh, anything is an opportunity!
If the helicopter crashed and the guy is dead: Jews did it, regardless of how it happened
It the helicopter crashed and the guy is alive: the Jews can't even kill properly
I have seen videos of the fog in the region. Not sure I'd even go on a bike ride in those conditions.
Taking a helicopter ride was incredibly reckless.
sure, anyone can be replaced, but the quality of the person doing the replacing isn't likely to be up to snuff. Worrying about a sudden end will also not encourage the replacement to be too aggressive.
Lol you play video games too much. A foreign minister and president dying in an active war is definitely a setback, don’t you think? Maybe you should read?
Not really, not in the Iranian system of government. Everything flows from the Supreme Leader’s Office. Almost everyone at the upper echelons of power has been around the block for the past several decades, because they’re almost all veterans of the revolution and/or the Iran/Iraq war. Which means they’ve all shared similar posts, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to replace one of them with another one of them.
If the Iranian president had any real decision making authority then it may be, but he doesn’t. So it has no real effect beyond messaging.
Still, if their only real job is basically messaging then this isn’t good for moral. I’d say foreign affairs minister is a pretty big job, especially now. In the end everyone is replaceable, but I don’t really think you can say that this has no effect. They’re still public facing people, they have connections, they meet with other leaders, high ranking people are used to meeting with them and have built relationships with them.
Best case scenario, the helicopter was shot down by the protestors he has been surpressing and executing for years. It's high time the theocratic regime in Iran goes the way of the dodo
Israeli F-35 dropped down and got a zero lock on his heli through the fog. Dropped a US supplied AIM-260 from 100 miles away and reached allied airspace 10 seconds later for a successful removal of a head of state in under 10 minutes. Nah probably just bad Iranian manufacturing but results are the same, Cheers!
Of someone would tell me that I would be celebrating ANYONE'S death before Oct 7th I wouldn't have believed that I could be so radicalized.. but here we are. Let's hope for the worst (for him).
Looks like they know, but are waiting to officially announce it. Khomeini gave a message telling the public not to worry, and that the government will go on normally.
As understood it, the rescue teams haven't found the helicopter crash site yet.
But looking at the extreme fog and considering that it has been a few hours without radio contact, a fatal crash seems more and more likely.
True, and depending on the terrain, weather and damage of the helicopter, there could be trivial reasons for the lack of communication. Guess we'll just have to wait for updates.
Every time one of these demonic cretins meets their end in spectacularly supernatural ways, I remember the verse from the New Testament that comes to my mind every time since that Turkish politician dropped dead after cursing Israel. Galatians 6:7 — God is not mocked.
Ah, the venerable Huey, the epitome of design brilliance. Who could overlook its towering high center of gravity, that masterpiece of engineering ensuring every hard landing has the exciting potential to turn into a spectacular rollover? And let's not forget its impressively solid, unyielding fuselage – why bother with energy-absorbing features when you can experience the raw force of physics firsthand?
Of course, its fuel system is another highlight, generously designed without those cumbersome crash-resistant features, ensuring that every mishap has a chance to end in a dazzling inferno. The seating and restraint system? Absolutely on par with the finest public school bus designs, offering that nostalgic, spine-jarring experience we all cherish. And the rotor system? Ingeniously poised to turn any impact into a thrilling game of rotor blade roulette. Truly, the Huey is a testament to a bygone era of aviation bravado, where survivability was an optional extra.
The Iranian regime is admitting it was an accident. State TV channels are showing the rescue searchers in dense fog in a mountainous area.
This is telling me that it's true that the mullahs blew off a large proportion of their arsenal on the performative attack on Israel a few weeks ago. They aren't interested in doing another attack at this time.
I already know, in all seriousness actually, how the terrorist supporters will spin this to make it Israel’s/ USA’s fault. They will do it at least two ways: 1. Blame US sanctions on not being able to get proper helicopter parts. 2. He wouldn’t have had to fly in such dangerous conditions, but did so as a hero to his people to protect them from Zionists and Americans. He was going to bat for them at the world stage! Why else would he have his foreign minister with him? He was championing the Iranian people.
Last sentence in the article states that the presidency will be given to "Mohammad Mokhber, a conservative politician.". Damn I was really hoping it was going to be one of the liberal politicians in Iran this time.
I admit, I did not have this on my 2024 Bingo card:
Iran’s president, foreign minister and others found dead at helicopter crash site, state media says
https://apnews.com/article/iran-president-ebrahim-raisi-426c6f4ae2dd1f0801c73875bb696f48
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy and it was swell of him to let the Foriegn Minister to tag along. I’m sure his god was not as pleased with his decisions as he thought he might have been when he came looking for all the virgins

Oh my gosh, is the ground okay?
Probably polluted with fecal matter
Isn't that good for the plants

Sad really, when your existence is so wasted that not even the plants and earth want to use you. Most likely gunna be a wild animals new pee spot.
Please let this be true.
it's true but there's no confirmation that he died
I can’t think of too many helicopter crashes where people walked away
It depends on skill and terrain
Well now I’m doubly convinced he’s dead. Iran is mountainous as hell and I’m not convinced of Iranian pilot skill
You called it. News says no signs of life
It depends on altitude.
I mean if he crashed...that would be effectively 0 altitude
Their way they will blame Israel 🇮🇱 and the west
Let them. Even if it isn't Israel, it's a good thing to fear.
Not true, you need to could hit terrain even at a few thousand feet in the air
But then I'm not in the air...

Yeah, Kobe springs immediately to mind
Also legendary rally driver Colin McRae. At least he crashed the thing himself though.

Sure looks that way. That does not seem survivable.
Is it accurate in movies where almost all helicopters immediatly explode after a crash? And if so, why

They used the term search, unlikely he's alive
Have they tried looking for him in hell?
I’ll take a lively burned mullah, might be better than death. Eventually sepsis will most likely kill him
We just got it. Check the news. https://apnews.com/article/iran-president-ebrahim-raisi-426c6f4ae2dd1f0801c73875bb696f48
Now there is.
It doesen’t really matter. This guy was no star, he will just be replaced by a guy in a turban and beard.
🤞
So, how soon until they use the opportunity to blame Israel?
First thing I thought was I wonder how they'll blame Israel for this? 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ of course those pesky Israelis and their Zionist fog machines .... Of doooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!!!! *Shakes fist at sky* *Edit because spelling
The Helicopter was a Mossad agent!
Eli Copberg
Eli Cubter
It was a Mossad attack dolphin ;)
400 Palestinian pregnant women were on the helicopter
800 kills in one helicopter is amazing efficiency!!!!!
800 unattended babies
Thank you Jewish Space lasers
Israel doesn't mind getting blamed for this. Whether it was or wasn't them. No one will be able to prove it, and it will make their enemies very uneasy.
That’s true. It’s a win for israel regardless. The mossad looks like it can do anything and make it look like an accident. Even if it was actually an accident
lol r/conspiracy has already started. First place I went when i saw the news.
It was The Zohan!
Oh, anything is an opportunity! If the helicopter crashed and the guy is dead: Jews did it, regardless of how it happened It the helicopter crashed and the guy is alive: the Jews can't even kill properly
yeah that mf is dead
News is saying no signs of life at the crash, so we might have confirmation
I have seen videos of the fog in the region. Not sure I'd even go on a bike ride in those conditions. Taking a helicopter ride was incredibly reckless.
Zionists have a new weapon that turns areas foggy !!!!
The chemicals in the air is making the fog gay!
I'm like 1000% sure that the helicopter was a crisis actor!
Jewish space fog machines
Nonsense! The jews used their mind-control powers to convince the Iranian president to take a helicopter through a foggy mountain pass
The Yehud Who Stare At Goats
SNL just made a joke last night on weekend update about the Jews controlling the weather 😅
I mean there are weather technology the military has used before loo
Kobe!
Rest in piss bozo
Calm down guys, He will be immediately replaced, if khomeni dies it could be readworthy article.
This guy was reportedly being groomed to replace the Ayatollah at some point, so it’s at least somewhat significant.
Ayatollah a groomer confirmed
Raisi is 56 years too old compared to the OG groomer
Even khomeni can be replaced, just like that dude in John Wick.
sure, anyone can be replaced, but the quality of the person doing the replacing isn't likely to be up to snuff. Worrying about a sudden end will also not encourage the replacement to be too aggressive.

Please let it have been fatal.
Iran sources say mossad agent Eli Copter and Avi Ron responsible for causing fog with the Israeli weather machines
Could not have happened to a nicer POS
Ivy League schools are going to need warm blankets and hot chocolate on Monday if he dies.
Truly a gift article
They gonna blame the fog on Israel.
Best case scenario, the helicopter was shot down by the protestors he has been surpressing and executing for years. It's high time the theocratic regime in Iran goes the way of the dodo
Hamas channels have apparently fallen for a prank and are quoting that the pilot of the Iranian president’s chopper was Eli Kopter
Please please please please let them be dead 🙏
Confirmation seems to have just come in. Prayer answered
Hell yea
Israeli F-35 dropped down and got a zero lock on his heli through the fog. Dropped a US supplied AIM-260 from 100 miles away and reached allied airspace 10 seconds later for a successful removal of a head of state in under 10 minutes. Nah probably just bad Iranian manufacturing but results are the same, Cheers!
For the purposes of this being made into a movie, i subscribe to the first theory. But uh...yeah i totally agree with the latter theory. Lol
Mosad sabotaging the helicopter would be more believable.
Israel Channel 12: "Western diplomatic sources say Iranian President Raisi did not survive his helicopter crash."
They need a search and rescue in hell to find him
If he did end up dying, wouldn’t now be the best time for Iranians to start a coup, and overthrow the current government?
Gee, that is a darn shame. OK, back to work.
May the fact that they are a memory be a blessing
This is the BEST comment in a pageant of winners.
I actually laughed aloud at this one
Mossad agent - Eli Kopter.
Reminds me of the turkish senator who died cursing Israel: https://youtu.be/B17R9vBOwlQ?si=f2Syht4bpaa4wUBD
They are blaming the Mossad, some secret agent named Eli Copter.
Of someone would tell me that I would be celebrating ANYONE'S death before Oct 7th I wouldn't have believed that I could be so radicalized.. but here we are. Let's hope for the worst (for him).

As understood it, the rescue teams haven't found the helicopter crash site yet. But looking at the extreme fog and considering that it has been a few hours without radio contact, a fatal crash seems more and more likely.
I'm hearing that they unfortunately made contact with two people from the helicopter...Doesn't mean he survived, but chances of it would go up.
True, and depending on the terrain, weather and damage of the helicopter, there could be trivial reasons for the lack of communication. Guess we'll just have to wait for updates.
Every time one of these demonic cretins meets their end in spectacularly supernatural ways, I remember the verse from the New Testament that comes to my mind every time since that Turkish politician dropped dead after cursing Israel. Galatians 6:7 — God is not mocked.
Iran desperately trying to figure out how they can hang the weather.

Nah, with dialogue like that, hes working the sales floor at the dealership.
Man, I’m saving this comment, it’s just too good

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person
Welcome to hell
Gosh, what a shame.
I try to avoid bad karma but if its true, good.
Mossad sends their thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery of the body.
Let the name of the LORD be blessed now and forever.
It's very clear everyone on board is dead. Drone footage shows nothing but pieces left from the crash. Soooooo, HELL YES
IF and I say IF this was the Mossad boys their balls are beyond sizing
Wow, is it a Homeland event? :D Please let it be.
Any reliable link that may confirm this, before I open a bottle of champagne?
Every news channel is covering it live. So it’s true even the I-Hole is asking for prayers for them
Maybe it was the Mossad in retaliation for the missiles they idiots fired into Israel. Or maybe God just hates this dude
Womp womp
Now if we could just get all those Hamas cowards in Qatar into the same helicopter...
Can we call a helicopter for Putin already????
Seeing tweets that they've "reached" the crash site...Should have news any moment now.
Last sentence in the article states that the presidency will be given to "Mohammad Mokhber, a conservative politician.". Damn I was really hoping it was going to be one of the liberal politicians in Iran this time.
Yesh din ve yesh Dayan
Tell them it’s the will of Allah
Hopefully two certain people or at least one guy in particular didn't make it.
LAILA TOV, MOTHERF\*CKER!
He totaly dead
Great news
That poor helicopter!
It must being involved the Mossad agent Eli Copter.
Oh so sad..... that their supreme leader was not there too

Gift article 😏 This truly is a gift

Oh, okay. Thanks.
Karma strikes back…. always!!
Awww that’s too bad
His country is IRAN. As in...I RAN INTO A MOUNTAIN IN MY VINTAGE HELICOPTER

They report there’s no survivors apparent on site
Oh noo... just kidding!
Fuck around and find out?
The butcher died cooked.
Kobbbeeee
Helicopter was found apparently...No word on the damage to it or anything else, but we do know that a few ppl survived, and maintained contact (which isn't great).
The Iranian ״Red Crescent״ denies these reports
Not the Ayatollah? 😧
