The word "crashed" in that headline is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Feels like it's doing heavy falling

The plane was doing a lot of heavy lifting carrying that head, fuck. He looks like that guy in the meme who borrows and returns 10 books a day from his library, increasing the size of his head with prosthetics each time.

Imagine the brass balls needed to work in war zones with a head like a sniper's dream

It's like a watermelon on a toothpick. I bet he was going home to cry on his oversized pillow.

Pretty normal sort of thing to happen

I guess ol' Vlad got bored of having people fall out of windows.

That is, of course, assuming the Russians were behind this; there's always a slight chance that it really was an accident.

narrator reads: it wasn't

There is larger chance, much larger I would say, that it was Prigozhin himself behind it. As far as I know, the was no confirmation that Prigozhin was in the plane, other then the passenger list.

I like the way you think. I'll wait for more news before opening the champagne.

Let's see how the Wagner troops react to this.
