I feel bad for the mountain. It was only minding its own business when, out of nowhere, this helicopter flew into it.

A candlelight vigil is being held for the helicopter.

He was using the pilot as a human shield, and the fog has a right to defend itself.

Flying in a 40 year old Bell 212 produced before IFR equipment was installed. The Bell 212 went out of production in 1999, and the flight was in the mountains during bad weather. What could possibly go wrong?

A fifty year old Bell 212. What could go wrong flying through mountains in fog.

[@TheGruntski]

@@stephenholland4057 Well at least forty years old, produced before IFR was introduced on the Bell 212. The Bell 212 went out of production in 1999, so spare parts are scarce and old. Clearly flying in this museum peace in bad weather in the mountains is the last bad decision that Raisi made.
