- "muslims should be called out about this guy."
So Muslims are collectively responsible for the actions of this man?
Are you responsible for the mistakes the US (assumed) government make?
Would you feel the same if Muslims started calling for, and celebrating, the death of Netanyahu?
-"very few muslims know islam better than this guy"
As I understand it, he had a very limited education, so ... yes ... there are millions (perhaps billions) of people who know Islam better than this person.
Perhaps you're drunk on the relief that the man is no more and it's clouding your judgement. Or perhaps you're a simple racist. I'm not sure.
But I can confirm that you're very ignorant on much of what you've just written. And I hope you never have any influence on power.

#34Was he riding in a Gräf & Stift?
Apparently it was a Bell helicopter repaired by Russians.
Not 'by Russians'.
Iran has had indigenous repair and overhaul facilities for its Bell fleet since the 1970s. The huge facility at Isfahan was built by Bell as part of the massive contracts in the Shah's era and had been operating ever since.
Re: The President of Iran has died
#35While it might be nice to speculate about a change in posture from the government of Iran, thats very unlikely to flow from this accident: the depth of staff inside the support groups behind the current government is too deep for a rapprochement to emerge, simply because the name on the door changes. There will be plenty of "obvious candidates" without reaching outside the tent for somebody e.g. who is less harsh abo…
Uuuh last I read the "president" of Iran is just a public figure. The real power lies in the Supreme Leader Ayatollah. So likely he will place another puppet as president and that'll be it.
Iran have a very complex government actually: https://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/local/cache-vignettes/L890... not much up to date but I think it still reflect current state of things, just with some different names.

How many repetitions make a thing deterministic?

I feel like the more useful thing here is helicopter risk. Helicopters are very unsafe in general as I understand things.
Well, that’s certainly one way of saying you don’t understand things. Helicopters are, arguably, safer than fixed wing aircraft, simply because they can autorotate down to a soft landing from a complete engine failure and with loss of forward velocity. They’re also by nature VTOL, so you can more or less put them down on any flat surface big enough, while a fixed wing always requires a long enough path to lose energy…
Planes can glide in case of engine failures, something FAR easier than a successful autorotation... Of course they still need a place to glide to the ground, gliding capacity of a typical plane it's not those of a glider, but even if a chopper successfully autorotate finding a reachable place it's not simpler, the range around is far, far shorter than a high altitude gliding airplane.
Also wings are fixed passive stuff in 99% of plain, of course thy can crack, but far less likely than a rotor mechanical failure...

What's that saying? "A helicopter is 10,000 parts flying in close formation around an oil leak."

Should mention what a total powerhouse iran is compared to the rest of rhr middle east (excluding israel, reicluding turkey).
