Well yes that’s how time works. Before something happens, the thing hasn’t yet changed..
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

No shit. It was originally and explicitly stated in the initial reporting that the plane was shot down.
witnesses reported seeing missile trails right away, and hearing 2 loud pops.. but they absolutely will do everything they can to hide that fact, because they are cowards who hide from everything..
I mean you can see the remnants of the missile contrail in that clip that was posted on streamable. 100% shot down.
There’s video footage of missile trace remnants intercepting the plane’s flight path. That thing got shot down.
What’s less clear is whether prigozhin got offed, or if it was more along the lines of him faking his death.
How do we know that’s “the” plane rather than some rando?
Not arguing anything here. I’m genuinely curious.
At the end
Online flight tracker Flightradar24 last recorded the position of the aircraft at 3:11 p.m. GMT, before the crash. Jamming or interference in the area probably slowed the collection of further location data.
Other data continued for nine minutes. Flightradar24 said the jet went thorough a series of ascents and descents of a few thousand feet each over 30 seconds before its final, disastrous plunge. Flightradar24 received its final data on the jet at 3:20 p.m.
If you look at the video from the ground you can see it's missing an entire wing and it's spinning and fluttering back and forth weirdly as it falls towards the ground.
If your airplane suffers sudden decompression and you get sucked out a window, would it technically be a defenestration?
Maybe but might be a stretch. Defenestration refers to the act of throwing someone/something out of a window. We have to consider the pressure "throwing" instead of sucking you out, which might be acceptable since the pressure inside the plane is greater and ends up pushing you out of the window in it's escape. From the perspective that you're sucked out of the window, it doesn't seem like the definition would apply.
This guy defenestrates.
I'll believe it in a couple of years if he doesn't turn up having faked his death again.
"After a failed orbital adjustment resulted in a negative perigee, Wagner leadership has ceased its existence as a result of a collision with the Earth litosphere", according to Rocosmos Airlines.

Jesus Christ that website is literal pop up as cancer.
I had no popus using uBlock Origin on Firefox
I was using sync and it wasn’t so much pop ups as continually loading more bs
And then what happened?
The front fell off
They should have built it to vigorous aviation engineering standards.
Or the wing did
It rapidly stopped being fine
It got shoved out a hotel window
