R.I.P.
Is the cause known yet? Because if someone form foreign country caused this, there could be unseen consequences.
Helicopter crashed into a mountain in basically zero visibility fog. Chuck Shumer said that the is suspected no foul play. Sounds to be just an accident. If I remember, this is what brought down Kobes helicopter too
Oh, yes it's the same thing as Kobe. So nothing then for now.
But what about other 2 helicopters which were flying alongside, how did they not crash?

Probably had more experience with flying by instruments only, or they were just being more cautious.
With rotary aircraft, instrument experience varies a lot more from pilot to pilot than fixed wing, that and fixed wing aircraft have a lot more altitude to cushion any mistakes of an inexperienced pilot.
Yeah makes sense, but weird that they put the president in less experienced one.
State media hasn't implied anything. I'm sure they'll investigate. But helicopters crashing in terrible weather conditions isn't unusual. I'd put my money on accident unless some compelling evidence is forthcoming.
