I'm surprised Stonetoss didn't notice how weird the Israeli flags are in all press conferences. He just has them looking like normal flags.
I swear they don't use real flags, they use fake ones that are shaped like cones so the Star of David can stand upright in front of the camera instead of canted off to the side. They're also super glossy and clearly not made of flag material.
A lot of comedy gold in the comments, especially the ones noticing how "sus" the pilot and the passengers look. I'd like to add that the crash happened because the pilot was obviously a diversity-hire woman-of-brown-color, wearing a niqab.
When I first heard the news my automatic assumption was that it was a mossad hit. However, I am a helicopter pilot with training specifically in high altitude and mountain operations, and I can say that even in VMC mountain flying can be very dangerous if you don’t have a very good training and experience.
I don’t believe we will ever know the truth of what happened here because it would expose the deficiencies in not only Iran’s aviation training but potentially the holes in their security as well if it was indeed a foreign hit.
The Bryant accident, on the other hand…I never took the time to read the final NTSB report on that, but it was obvious to me from the start that there were a combination of factors. Undue pressure to execute from a rich and well known athlete, overestimation of ability and ego on the part of the pilot, and all around tossing to the wind of basic airmanship. And while the charter service being used wasn’t certified to operate IFR, it’s clear they were deficient in communicating and training inadvertent IMC procedures.
All that aside, I think it’s interesting that the Iranians haven’t taken the opportunity to point a finger at Israel, the US, or any other foreign entity.
The same weather forced Trump to not visit the WWI memorial in France, where the secret service forbade him from flying. And the media went into a frenzy saying he didn't want to go and all sorts of lies.

See: It's creepy
Yeah, the angles about the corner at the bottom of the "flags" suggest they can't be rectangular.
Reminds me of an old classic
'Bout a few
Wow nice notice I never realized that before but now I’ll probably not be able to unsee it lol
Are we ever going to get that complete list of actionable slurs?

I assume that is some type of meme? I find it hard to believe Iranians would fly with a woman pilot.
The pilot is A mongUs. At least the one that flew Kobe.
Wait, who was the pilot for Kobe?
some slav

If anything, I'm MORE suspicious of plausible deniability these days.
With Kobe I think it was more likely to have been an accident. Kobe wasn’t pressing any buttons or doing any noticing. He was just playing the game.

This is common and it happens.
