Totally Unexpected

 A lot of people, myself included, figured that Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was a dead man walking after his failed coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Well, now he is a dead man. The Daily Mail reports:

    Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is feared dead after a plane – with his name on the passenger list - crashed in Russia tonight, two months after his failed coup attempt against Putin. 

    Video footage purportedly shows the aircraft falling out of the sky in the Bologovsky district in the Tver region, 60 miles north of Moscow. A burning wreckage, which appears to be of a plane, was later seen in a field, with unconfirmed images showing it completely ablaze.

    It was initially unknown if Wagner chief Prigozhin - known as Putin's chef and with longstanding links to the Kremlin dictator - was on board, but it has since been reported that the passenger list included his name.
