Three theories I've heard so far.
1) The Russians did it. Unlikely as they like to try Traitors and execute them.
2) It was an Unathorised discharge inside the plane. Quite possible
3) The Yanks did it 24 hours after telling their citizens to leave Belarus Immediately.

Any new theories welcome.

while the plane did indeed crash, that's usually what happens when a commercial aircraft takes two air defense missiles

I'm surprised he lived as long as he did, given Putin's history of accidental or mysterious deaths of rivals.

Although the video footage is grainy it does not appear to have intact wings. Could be wrong.

Be skeptical of practically everything.

BTW, I have a family of bigfoot living in the woods on my property. May they live in peace and propagate.

Outstanding!

On the news tonight they showed pictures of small holes in one of the wings. The “expert” commentator, who was an ex fighter pilot, said it was was the type of damage seen from a SAM explosion….

Interesting someone had the presence of mind to make a video, definitely smoke when it went down. if it was Ukraine and I was Putin, I'd be shaking in my boots. Not likely though.

…except when they fall out of an upper floor window, get accidentally poisoned with Novichok, or drink tea containing polonium.

Did you see the video champ? That’s all I said - it was grainy and I could not see the wings.

Fuck with the bull, you get the horns. It was a just matter of time.

Does anybody here, or anywhere, think that somebody that tries to run an unsuccessful coup on Putin is going to survive for very long?

Be interesting to see what effect this has in Ukraine since the Wagner battalion has been one of the few combat-effective Russian units in the war.

Putin’s comments on the BBC make for interesting listening. 10 lbs of bullshit in a 5 lb bag. He expressed his heartfelt condolences. What a joke…….

the video shows the plane literally falling out of the sky and I it looked like it was missing one wing. Wings do not just fall off planes. It takes a lot of force (explosion) to take a wing off. I do not think you can maneuver a modern plane hard enough to rip a wing off.

there appear to be missle (con)trails in another video

I didn't mean my satire as a personal attack on you.

Just sayin' that if Prigozhin is as smart as he claimed to be, he could fake his own death and disappear. To him, it doesn't matter if there are collateral deaths.

Nothing out of Russia can be trusted.

That is defiantly a possibility, he has the means but questionable if he has the smarts..
