Raisi's Death
Is it just me, or the tail of the "craft" shown in the pictures does not look like a chopper tail?
Especially a Bell 212...
Looks rather like a Cessna tail rudder.

All the pictures I've seen show the remains of a helicopter.

I think that it is the angle at which it is photographed at and the angle the wreckage is in relation to the ground, a bit deceptive.

That is the picture that I saw on an Italians news agency's site.
It really doesn't look like a chopper to me, but then... it is really his chopper's tail.
Saw it in a video.

That’s definitely Cessna in the pic. You can see the company logo for sure.
A different picture I saw looks a lot like a tailboom from a Bell helicopter.
Mid air? Lost in the fog and bumped?
I don’t expect much truth from media sources.

Who says that's not a stock photo/video?

It’s an Iranian Police Cessna 206 for sure in this picture. Airliners.net has pictures of this tail number prior to being a smoking hole.

That was the first picture to be found here on ANSA, news agency.
Probably some nerd who does not know a plane from a chopper.

I don't recall seeing that pic in the UK
, Ovidio, post 4. The first pics that I saw were from a drone and showed the wreckage on the summit not on the side of the hill/mountain.

Or perhaps a mid-air collision between a police escort Cessna and the chopper?
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
