Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was killed along with seven other passengers in a helicopter crash on Sunday (see video above). An initial report has now been published, which shows that no traces of outside influence have been discovered.
The helicopter caught fire shortly after the crash on Sunday, it said. According to experts, the crashed model was not designed for flights in poor visibility.
In an interview with state television on Tuesday, Raisi’s chief of staff described the moments before the helicopter crashed. The weather was initially clear, but after about half an hour of flying the helicopter fleet headed towards a cloud field. A short time later, Raisi’s helicopter went missing.
The remaining two helicopters circled above the area for several minutes and eventually landed near a copper mine due to poor visibility.
As reported, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hussein Amirabdollahian and seven other passengers were killed in the helicopter crash. On the way back from a meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, they had an accident in dense fog in the mountains in the north of the country. The politicians were buried on Thursday.
