Eyewitness report.

According to an eyewitness at the site of the crash of Yevgeny Prigozhin's aircraft, "The tail fell off in one settlement, everything else [fell] in another."

Could he be faking his own death with Russian connivance ?

Not impossible in that madhouse! Who there cares about collateral damage?

Love the quote from the CIA Director!

"Revenge" commented the CIA Director William Burns, "is a dish Putin prefers served cold" or words to that effect.

Pretty much sums it up…….

I wonder had Prigozhin a window seat?

We all know that there is an infitesimally low chance of an Embraer 135 or 145 just falling out of the sky halfway through a flight, for no reason. This was clearly a deliberate act. No surprise, he was doomed since the failed coup.

Usually with a crash, someone calls for us all to "await the official report and stop speculating."
How long do you think it will take for the Russian interim, and official, reports to be completed and disseminated per ICAO standards? :E

Wow, never saw that one coming!

What would be the point ? The only reason I could imagine, would be to allow him to sneak off and enjoy his money, but he's not someone to lie low, is he ?

Probably as long as it takes them to make up a story that exonerates Putin from having anything to do with it!
