    But the plane was flying at cruise speed and there’s only two exits on the Legacy 600 - left side passenger door or over the wings. Either of of those gets a pilot sucked straight into an engine. A few people have parachuted off a passenger plane, but only through emergency exits behind the wings (with wing mounted engines) or the tail staircase.

      You obviously know about planes more than me.
      Still I agree with @RonJonGuaido that Prigozhin had no logic reason to be on a flight in Russian territory (other than being someway forced to do that)

        What’s odd is that it looks like the plane was leaving Moscow, not arriving.

        He may simply have felt safe, for reasons we don’t understand.

          Yet the plane was on its way to st. Petersburg according to the article... That's a hell of a detour for a man that was supposed to be in Africa
