My post was about being peace-loving and not starting wars. 

 

Salman Rushdie might disagree with you.

He was a human being.  Untimely death is a tragedy.  For those consumed with hatred and dancing with glee?  Perhaps you should evaluate your own lives and develop some compassion and humanity.

Rest in Peace - 🙏 

 

As far as I can remember, I've never killed anyone, never issued a fatwa against anyone and never banned the fairer sex from doing anything that a male can do.

 

Consumed with hatred and dancing with glee I am not, but calling this death a tragedy doesn't sit too well with me.

That would explain the Leicester City's boss tragic crash. Oh wait a moment..... Personally having only ever gone up in a helicopter once I would never do it again.

Safer than on a bus; I took a helicopter to work when working as a petroleum engineer and there were no fatalities in the 2 years I did it.

Sorry, The Leicester City crash was an Italian designed and manufactured AgustaWestland AW169 twin engine helicopter. Must of been the Pope's fault.

Good news. Only thing tragic is there wasn't more top brass terrorists onboard. 👋

yippee ki-yay … he’s in for a bit of a shock, when he finds out there was a typo in the book, and there are 27 vegans waiting for him.

Some rather negative comments about a country that is generally peace loving. I find it funny when an American, for example, thinks Iran is evil. Iran has not started any war in the last say 100 years, compared to the US who have started many and one for a  made up reason, yet the Muslims are the bad guys.... 

 

what a load of twaddle

How? Are you saying that if you had travelled on a bus for 2 years you would have expected fatalities? 

 

Hey you're in good company, Hamas is also mourning his loss.

In my time at Norwegian sector, 4 helicopters down in 28 years. Helicopters have a few weanesses. I might have 500 helikopter trips included skydiving, and cant say it is as safe as a bus, but it is reasonable, but bad weather and lack of maintanence seems to be two plausable reasons for this accident.

At last, some good news to read with the breakfast coffee, now put the rest of the misogynistic regime into a plane and fly that into a mountain.

Iranian women over the moon, especially those who lost loved ones to the butcher

The extreme show of force in Palestine is a warning to anyone who would harm Israel or their people.

 

So is this helicopter "crash", a simple tiny bomb put on a vital component, obviously by a mossad agent, of which there are thousands, and in every country in the world.

 

A simple warning to any country or any leader trying to harm Israel.

 

Good riddance! 

 

And probably message received by all muslim countries attempting to harm any part of Israel, or any Jew anywhere.

Although he was far from a saint, he did a lot of good for the Palestinian cause, he consistently used his platform to voice support for the Palestinian people and their struggle for self-determination. He frequently condemned Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories and advocated for the rights of Palestinians. He also opposed peace agreements with Israel that were perceived as detrimental to  Palestine and didn't address the fundamental issues of Palestinian statehood and sovereignty. He gave moral support to Palestinians, who would otherwise all be dead by now. 

Since today the World is a little bit better.

Well said. 

Rather sad when people from one culture condemn another country's values and morals. 

I've met many Brits who hate Muslims telling the UK that their moral code is wrong, yet tell Iran that theirs are wrong.  It takes all sorts to make a world. 

 

You're still not getting it. The Iranian people hate the regime and it's 'morals'!! You're giving support to a regime that rules it's people with terror!!

Do you have no sympathy for the Iranian people?

 With respect, this may be so but after the removal of the Shah of Persia by the Revolutionary Guards, Iran supported and funded terror organisations that die "the dirty work"!

Putin next?

It crashed in fog, straight into the mountain, and probably had seconds to react.

 

One of the earliest lessons in flight training is the aviation order of operations in an emergency, aviate, navigate, communicate, In that priority order.

There was not time to send a may day call and what would it have achieved, as the flight route was known, there were other helicopters flying with them, and the rescue was delayed because the thick fog stopped an aerial search and the crash was in remote and difficult terrain, pictured below.

 

Iranian state media has shared the last known picture of the helicopter from yesterday.

People are commenting about the regime, not citizens. There are widespread reports of celebrations in Iran and by overseas Iranians. He and the regime are not well liked by many. Celebrations in Iran will be subdued because the military and feared IRGC are setting up positions around Tehran.
