It crashed into a missile that was just looking at a cathedral.

I can't believe I learned this from a meme

[-] mrmhm@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

You're welcome.

The plane was shot down in Russian airspace.

[-] spacesweedkid27@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Do we really know that it was shot down or are we just suspecting that?

[-] JustAManOnAToilet@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

BBC reported it was missing a wing on the way down, so either it just decided to shed its wing on its own or it was knocked off by something. Not too many things flying around in the air that can take off a plane wing.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It was a Russian plane though. These things probably lose wings regularly.

I mean it would totally make sense for Putin to kill him and the Wagner leaders because they know too much and have opposed him at once.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yes

[-] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Ooooooh, now I know what happened to the moon rocket!

[-] Louisoix@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I can't stop reading it as "Warner Bros." and getting confused all the time.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Was it shot down? I haven't looked into it much. But Putin's cronies could definitely have sabotaged the plane to crash as well.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

There are reports of Moscow AA "accidentally" firing on it.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Okay cool. I don't think Putin would be that obvious since his future bargaining with challengers kind of depends on it. He just sent a message that he can't be reasoned or bargained with.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He hasn't bothered with bargaining with his challengers BEFORE, either. I mean, he tried to assassinate his biggest public political rival Alexei Navalny, then when everyone got angry at him for trying to do that in pretty blatant fashion, just threw him in prison and will likely keep him there on whatever charges they think they can make sound reasonable for as long as possible.

Prigozhin though it was a good idea for some reason though.

[-] Vitaly@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

FINALLY!!!!

[-] Bigbon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Finally what

[-] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

The Rock has assassinated Prigozhin!

[-] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Dude looked like a bald toby from the office

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Theres a phone recording of the plan crashing...

Theres a bit of smoke etc

Doubt it was just pilot error

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Lol, no shit.

[-] aplomBomb@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago

Meh, he probably wasn't even on the plane... part of the deal
