are you analyzing a joke?
It was definitely “mechanical failure”; possibly occasioned by a missile strike.
They are fine. Some just have new and interesting facial hair.
“Nevermind, it appears that this plane too, has crashed.” – probably.
“He tripped and fell out of 500th story window.”
That’s why the plane crashed. Death was due to ten simultaneous cases of heart failure. 
I’m betting a rocket up its wazoo voids the warranty…
“So, Mikhail, the Boss wants us to defenestrate a guy.”
“So? That’s what we do.”
“Yeah, but it’s Prigozhin.”
“I never liked that guy much. What’s your problem?”
“He’s in his airplane.”
“And?”
“Well, you know how tiny those windows are. And he’s, like, a big guy.”
“…”
“You see the problem now?”
“Da.”
“So what we gonna do?”
“We’ll think of something. Say, do you still have that friend in the Tver air defense battalion?”
Still a rather odd choice of word re: that monster’s demise.
So… they made the windows bigger?
“Whole plane is one big window now. Problem solved.”
It’s what I had my money on, but they could have made it look like engine failure for plausible deniability.
Footage of the plane falling from the sky at the link below. it’s the 51 second clip thumbnailed to the right - for some reason I cannot generate a unique link for that video alone. (And the BBC’s warning about it is apposite.)
Big Brother double-think rules: He was a traitor while he lived but, in death, a patriot assassinated by the enemy.
Countdown until Trump’s next bootlicking song of praise of how Putin handles opposition to his rule 10,9,8,7,6…
Which one was the donut?
What the hell was he doing back in Moscow? Didn’t he know he was a dead man walking?
The only reason to believe that this might actually be an attempt to fake his own death is that otherwise he had to be dumb enough to believe Putin forgave him. And that’s even dumber that believing Donald Trump pays bills.
