Unfortunately, those only seem to die from natural causes after living unbearably long lives (save for one or two).

Curiously, they can ride as many helicopter rides and never suffer any "accidents" unlike the politicians from unaligned countries with the empire.

Sometimes I wonder if god really loves these scum so much on the expense of the rest of the global south.

Westoid leaders ride on the cream of the crop aircrafts maintained by blood and sweat of millions of working classes people and billions of exploited global South citizens. Of course they have better quality and less likely to encounter problems. However the tendency to cutting maintenance and decrease parts availability to drive up profit will catch up to them eventually. Blinken already had to delay his tour this year multiple times due to maintenance issues.

The collision of two helicopters in Alaska was the latest in a series of military helicopter crashes this year whose causes are still being investigated.

The crashes and a rollover involved Black Hawk and Apache helicopters on training missions. A total of 14 soldiers have died and three have been injured.
