The Shocking Footage of Russian Plane Crash that Everyone Had Predicted

In August 2023, a video depicting the abrupt and nearly vertical descent of an Embraer-135 business jet within Russian borders came as a shock to few. After all, the aircraft was carrying Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, who in the past two decades had become rich through his personal ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, winning lucrative catering and construction contracts with the Russian government. For years, through the use of his own for-hire army filled with convicts, Prigozhin did the Kremlin’s dirty work, reinforcing Russian influence among its adversaries around the globe. Exhibiting allegiance solely to Putin, Prigozhin evolved into an emblematic figure of wartime Russia, a public power player who bent and molded social media to his will. However, drunk on his own power, he ventured into the dangerous territory of challenging a president few dare to cross and fewer live long enough to speak about it. Sixty days after spearheading a rebellion that posed the gravest threat to Putin's authority during his 23-year rule, Prigozhin met a fateful end. Since then, the video of the incident has transformed into an enigma, captivating experts and conspiracy enthusiasts alike, seeking to decipher its secrets. --- Dark Footage showcases the most unbelievable photos and videos from history while telling the stories behind the camera.
