Prigozhin is suspected of being on the aircraft that crashed near Moscow today.
He is suspected to have died in it.

surely this seems suspicious and perhaps this was not an accident.

I’m sure it is completely, 100% accidental…

(Even our 11yo snorted when she heard that news)

TheSpottedZebra · 23/08/2023 18:46

I doubt anyone has any suspicions! Of course it wasn't an accident.

It's a big fuck you from Putin / his team, isn't it? He'll do what he wants and no one will stop him.

Bankholidayboredom23 · 23/08/2023 18:46

No doubt at all for me...

I'd really not thought of that 🤣

MWB29 · 23/08/2023 18:49

That was no accident

ClaraThePigeon · 23/08/2023 18:50

I don't think the word perhaps applies here.

Aposterhasnoname · 23/08/2023 18:50

Yeah, complete accident. Apparently they hit a flying pig.

WolfFoxHare · 23/08/2023 18:50

I mean, no shit, Sherlock.

Samsonsmum · 23/08/2023 18:51

He didn't fall out of the plane window though

Which is good. Russian windows have had a run of bad luck recently. Can’t think why.

Totalwasteofpaper · 23/08/2023 18:53

My DH predicted this or death in a car "accident"

User3253625 · 23/08/2023 18:53

When impostor is sus...

JennyForeigner · 23/08/2023 18:54

Calling this suspicious is the single greatest example of understatement in human history.

Totalwasteofpaper · 23/08/2023 18:54

Oh should say he worked closely with russia / Russians for several years

pizzaHeart · 23/08/2023 18:54

Of course it’s not an accident and of course we can’t guarantee that he was actually on a plane , he was on the list of passengers- it’s different.

Playingintheshadow · 23/08/2023 18:54

Now that is a shock. Not.

TangoTarantella · 23/08/2023 18:55

It was his plane and it was shot down by Russian air defence

Oysterbabe · 23/08/2023 18:56

I'd be surprised if he was really on it, I bet he was secretly killed ages ago.

Westfacing · 23/08/2023 18:57

It was only a matter of time - surprised it took this long

ToWhitToWhoo · 23/08/2023 18:58

People who displease Putin do tend to have nasty accidents.

Elphame · 23/08/2023 18:59

Gosh, who would ever have thought it!

TBH I'm amazed he lasted 2 months.

FerryPink · 23/08/2023 18:59

I expect he knew it was only a matter of time before there was an "accident"

DuckyShincracker · 23/08/2023 18:59

I don't think you need to be Hercule Poiriot to find this suspicious! Poor guy never stood a chance really.

eurochick · 23/08/2023 19:00

Well, I for one am shocked.

I had expected it to be a helicopter.

You even have to ask?
