    There’s chance none of them were alive when the plane took off.
    The cool thing about plane crashes is that they make autopsies reeaally superficial.

      Ah, right, the plane took off on its own, did it? Remind me again of the avionics in an Embraer? I didn’t realise they had introduced communication with ATC, navigating the airport etc. completely automatically.

        Dude I’m really not trying to build a conspiracy theory, all I’m saying is that it doesn’t need a Machiavellian genius to put 10 corpses on a plane, fly it at altitude and jump off with a parachute before it crashes in the forest. It’s like “Action movie 101”.

          But the plane was flying at cruise speed and there’s only two exits on the Legacy 600 - left side passenger door or over the wings. Either of of those gets a pilot sucked straight into an engine. A few people have parachuted off a passenger plane, but only through emergency exits behind the wings (with wing mounted engines) or the tail staircase.

            You obviously know about planes more than me.
            Still I agree with @RonJonGuaido that Prigozhin had no logic reason to be on a flight in Russian territory (other than being someway forced to do that)

              What’s odd is that it looks like the plane was leaving Moscow, not arriving.

              He may simply have felt safe, for reasons we don’t understand.

                Yet the plane was on its way to st. Petersburg according to the article… That’s a hell of a detour for a man that was supposed to be in Africa

          Also adding a quick comment to apologise for my snide comment in the beginning. I think I hadn’t gotten my morning coffee yes - an explanation but no excuse. Sorry.

            No worries man, I also tend to get pissed at people that form their opinion without doing research first, so no hard feelings ❤

      Why would you bother? Just hide a bomb in the landing gear bay when servicing the plane just before taxi.

        Yeah, but that doesn’t answer the question “what was he doing in a land where they want him dead?”
