In conjunction with the multiple other breaking news stories unfolding this weekend, this just fuels the fires of conspiracy theorists in their parents' basements.

This might be just an accident.
With the other stories swirling about, it might not be.

hmmmmmm while they are busy arresting a lot of Saudi princes this happens..... highly suspicious...... was he fleeing and got shot down? Sabotage? Given the timing, it will be difficult to believe it’s accidental.

Is this a good prince or a bad, corrupt one?

“Right out of the Russian play book. Just a terrible accident.”

Or the clinton play book, either one. Remember Ron Brown and Vince Foster.

C'mon. You sorta haf'ta think this is a little convenient, when you consider how many Saudi princes there are, and at least one of them just might have stashed something embarrassing about the soon-to-be new king...

Don’t let an accident go to waste.

OR don’t waste the situation, “Let there be accidents”

FR was joking incessantly about helicopter rides for those arrested in Saudi Arabia yesterday.

How prophetic.

The private jets were all grounded, but helicopters not so much.

Reminds me of that scene in Scarface. “I make the deals for Frank Tony”.

Shortly after 9/11, a young prince of the Saudi royal line with close ties to al-Qa'eda was found dead in his car in the middle of the desert. Cause of death was -- drowning. In salt water.

The boys at Saudi Intelligence can be very clever when they want to send a message.
