I have been Witness to things that I simply cannot describe. I do truly WONDER now and then wonder 'Why'. Our Father is oftimes entirely 'inscutible' in His attentions with us.
Be well Sister... Oh, and Raisi's Helicopter is CONFIRMED INCINERATED along with all those travelling with him, per Iranian TV and Reuter's...

I saw the video of the remains of the helo. Only the tail assembly was even recognizable; the rest was just a charred spot in the forest, sure looked in survivable to me. Also saw 1of the SAR team heading up through seriously gusty wind and dense fog, or low ceiling. In mountainous terrain, the cloud cover can literally drop right to the ground. In any case, it did not look like prudent flying conditions for a relatively light aircraft! Visibility and ceiling were both too low, especially in gusty winds and mountains. The tail assembly looked like a Vietnam era "Jolly Green", but I couldn't tell for certain; it was broken up too.
In fact, Reuters identified that as Bell 212, I THINK. That's a 40 year old model. And sInce the Iranians are STILL 'Under Sanctions' regarding Aircraft AND have NO Thermal (IR) Night Vision then attempting to fly through THICK FOG, IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN (weather changes are EXTREMELY ABRUPT in such) was simply 'Suicidal'...as we clearly SEE.
Have a Great Day Sweety...none of us KNOW hiw many peaceful days are left now to us; so, Carpe Diem..."Sieze the Day", eh?
Okay, as I said, I was unsure of it's "pedigree". Those don't even carry weather radar, so far as I know, so decidedly suicidal. I lived in AZ's high deserts for 40+ yrs, 'til I started having problems with my heart and breathing at mile hi+, and moved to TX for closer to sea level, with a VA clinic in range. I have seen that happen often; just wait a minute, the weather and wind direction will change!
Rest assured Sandra...neither DO I.

Couldn't agree more!

You do the same, and stay safe, my brother!
