What caused the plane crash?

[Rebound]

Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the Wagner Group mercenary chief who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin in June, was listed as a passenger on a plane that crashed in Russia on Wednesday, killing all 10 people on board, including three crew members and seven passengers, Russia’s civil aviation agency said. Russia’s emergency services did not immediately confirm whether Prigozhin had been on board and died.

Either followed by a fighter jet and shot down by a small charge missile to give the appearance of a failure on board instead of it being blown to bits, or an explosive was planted on the plane ahead of time. Definitely Putin's handy work.

[Aristides]

Putin would be #1 on my suspect list.

[Hodad]

Nah, just a coincidence. Like how Putin's critics coincidentally get polonium poisoning.

If he was actually on board, those are some king sized balls, to fly in Russia.

It would be the equivalent of me posting mocking videos of Kim Jung Un, then going to North Korea and wiping my butt with his face on a newspaper.

Your torture, or imminent death are your only remaining options.

If he led an actual mutiny then he'd be dead in any country. 

[CdnFox]

I've consulted my secret underground sources and run their information through AI to determine the most likely cause. It has produced an answer.

 

Gravity.  Apparently.  98 percent likelyhood.

 

If i'm being honest they're not particularly helpful secret underground sources or a terribly expensive AI.

[WestCanMan]

This is a secret like "Who blew up the pipeline?" is a secret.

Strong evidence of surface to air missile which left pock marks on the fuselage as shown on ABC Network News. 

And no, the only ones who could have brought down that jet were IN RUSSIA with MISSILES.

Evidence of a bomb on board would have have been very different.

[Aristides]

The official report will contain whatever Putin wants it to contain.

No he wouldn’t, but he would be in jail.

There's not much point in speculating, we'll never know for sure.

If he lead an actual mutiny in America he’d be prosecuted in a court of law.

That is exactly what’s happening. Trump’s jet didn’t get shot out of the sky, did it?

He's not in court yet either.

That’s how the Justice system of a free democracy works.  The ultimate outcome is the government taking your freedom away, or even your life. So there is a high bar to meet to prove guilt.

As I said we shall see.

Eh, I'm putting this in the same category as "We'll never know for sure who really killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman." ?

He's been in several courts already and interrogated by the judges.

AKA, odds are 99.99% that it was the jealous ex-football star ex-husband.

Yes this is true but it remains to be seen that justice will be served here is my point.  So far so good I suppose.

Strangely ABC News is now reporting that US intelligence says it was likely a bomb on board.

Not sure how that squares with the previous story which SHOWED the pock marks on video.

The death penalty is pretty standard for that. Especially during a war. People have faced firing squads for much less.
