http://news.sky.com/story/1605060/mtv-reality-show-helicopter-crash-two-killed

Quote: "The Bell 206 helicopter crashed as it flew over the reservoir at Potrerillos de Mendoza dam about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) northwest of Buenos Aires, Gianni Vernier, security minister for Mendoza province, told the state news agency Telam. Vernier said the pilot and a technician died."

Quote: "MTV issued a statement saying the helicopter was working on 'The Challenge,' a co-production of MTV and Bunim-Murray Productions, and was flying to a shooting location when it went down. MTV said only two people were on the helicopter and neither was a cast or show crew member. It was the second deadly helicopter accident this year in Argentina involving a reality show."

2015-12-13 - Update on passenger plane that exploded on the Sinai peninsula in Egypt: Egypt says no evidence of bomb:
http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/14/world/egypt-russian-jet-crash-investigation/
http://www.kjct8.com/news/headlines/361775141.html
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/12/14/egypt-says-no-sign-that-terrorist-act-caused-sinai-plane-crash/
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/egypt-sign-terrorist-act-russian-plane-crash-35751110
http://news.yahoo.com/egypt-completes-preliminary-report-russian-plane-crash-sinai-083504747--sector.html

Quote: "Egypt said on Monday it had found no evidence so far of terrorism or other illegal action linked to the crash of a Russian passenger plane in Sinai that killed all 224 people on board on Oct. 31."

Note: Heh, both Egypt and Russia have reasons to lie. Egypt might lie about it not being a bomb, since they don't want to lose tourism money. Russia might lie about it being a bomb, since they don't want to lose Airbus money. Russia initially said there was no explosive residue too. But maybe Russia realized that might be kinda bad for Airbus, and they flip-flopped after two weeks. So there's 1 vote for no explosives (Egypt), plus 0.5 votes for no explosives (Russia initially) and 0.5 votes for explosives (Russia later). So that's 1.5 votes for no explosives versus 0.5 votes for explosives. Looks like 'no explosives' wins. Go democracy!

Quote: "'I guess the wheel broke, the nose gave out, and we lost control and flew off the runway,' Brann said. 'It was right after we landed, so it wasn't like we had slowed down to a normal taxiing speed. We were still going very fast.' The plane slid off the runway into a ditch after it landed in Nashville Tuesday night."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "As planes land, they will more frequently blow tires, or their landing gear will collapse, or they will run off runways."
