Mess with their IFR technology mid flight when they enter fog and it becomes very tricky.


Fog in rotary in the mountains is tricky with perfect IFR.

ALL crashes are caused by the same thing. Insufficient altitude.

Right. Plus, there were three choppers. They’d have to know which one he was in.


Nope, hit all 3 for a target of this value.

I mean, by your post history I know you’re not the brightest light on the strand, but you don’t really think any POTUS calls all the shots…right?

Come on, you're better than personal insults, or at least I thought you were. But maybe I was wrong.

Any president is to some degree captive of his staff but he ultimately makes the final decision. Biden is no more a sock puppet than Trump was. Democrats are saying the exact same thing about his mental status. Unless you can come up with objective proof (something more than "it's obvious111" the presumption is both are in control of their faculties.

The other two landed safely, so that did not happen.

If it was not an accident it was an inside job. The Iranian equivalent of falling out a window.

I’m not buying that for Trump or Obama. Those two don’t strike me as people who will automatically bow down to other opinions, Biden definitely does.

The Kobe Jokes are lame as hell in this thread, especially when considering just about everyone dies in helicopters.

A sitting POTUS have no real power without the blessing of the House and Senate. He's only limited to issuing EO's which can be reversed by the next incoming POTUS.

A former sitting President calls BS on that when it came to droning someone, even US citizens. It doesn’t matter if they deserved to die or not, a President has that power, the house and senate don’t come into play in that scenario.

Yes because old helicopters never crash in foggy weather conditions on their own

Why can't it be accidental?
