Yes, but we are not talking mere airline passengers here, maybe not Prigozhin, but I'm pretty sure Wagner-Utkin himself has seen worse shit.
And of course putting parachute on when the plane is in uncontrollable stall is too late, but from what we know first it had been gaining altitude too rapidly, then losing it… If I were them, I'd be grabbing those parachutes right after things started going not according to the plan.
Then again, we are only theorizing here. @kevinrothrock
@markhughes We still don't even know for sure whether the plane was hit by AA projectile or if it was some sort of explosive device onboard, if it's the latter, they might have been injured and not in position to do anything at all.
All I'm saying, if most people being unprepared is the main reason parachutes are considered useless, stating so might be a stretch. Utkin is ex special forces GRU, maybe not James Bond, but hardly an average office worker😅
