never get in a helicopter
Seriously, you hear about helicopter crashes all the time. Not sure about actual rates, but I'm sure compared to other aircraft it's ridiculous.
An EMS flight crew member who flies 20 hours a week for 20 years has a 31% chance of being in a fatal crash. Granted, EMS helicopters have to deal with unknown difficult terrain and weather/visibility more often than normal, I guess.

It's funny how often the Osprey crashes and everyone goes 
It's a double helicopter. Of course its gonna crash more.
Even if the Mossad aren't implicated in this which, y'know, wouldn't be the first time they've gone and sabotaged shit in Iran, there's absolutely zero chance that they aren't going to get the blame for this.
I wouldn’t necessarily expect non-Zionists to behave like Zionists. Iran tends to be a lot more rational than both the US and its colony.
Recent Twitter post. I wonder if it's related:
I have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.
-Ebrahim Raisi
well well well...
He got Kobe'd.
I'm Ashkenazi and in a coincidence my dad looked a lot like Raisi. I have a white beard with if I wore a turban with matching attire and I went to a random Walmart in a very red state - I wonder if people would stare at me with open hostility.
You're the designated survivor. I'm sorry but your life is about to be flipped turned upside-down.
You're the designated survivor.
For Iran? Well, for whoever/whatever my speech is the same.
First of all - I'd like to thank the members of the Academy for this great honor. And...
If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter -- and therefore, unsafe.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
