charset="iso-8859-1" X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version) Air Safety Online News http://www.airsafetyonline.com/ Iranian Plane Crash Kills 117 TEHRAN, Iran -- An Iranian passenger plane carrying at least 100 people on board is believed to have crashed into mountains in the west of the country. None of the 105 passengers or 13 crew were said to have survived, sources at the national carrier Iran Air told CNN. The Russian-built Tupolev-154 disappeared from radar screens at about 6.30 a.m (0330 GMT) on Tuesday during a journey from Tehran to Khorramabad in the southwest of the country. (For a list of accidents involivng the Tupolev TU-154, go to http://www.crashdatabase.com/ ) The plane, which can carry up to 148 people, was operated by state-owned Iran Air Tours, a subsidiary of Iran Air. (For a list of accidents involivng Iran Air Tours, go to http://www.crashdatabase.com/ ) Khorramabad lies to the east of the Zagros mountain range, which runs along the border with Iraq. Iranian sources said the plane had crashed into the side of the mountain in conditions that may have included heavy fog. Residents of a village near Khorramabad heard a "big explosion" and saw a fire after the Tupolev went down, state radio was quoted by The Associated Press as saying. The plane had not yet been found, but searchers had identified the area of the crash, and rescue teams have been sent. In recent years, Iranian airlines have been troubled by accidents. The country -- subject to U.S. sanctions -- has had difficulty getting spare parts for its aging fleet, many of them Boeings acquired before the 1979 Islamic revolution, and has instead leased planes from the former Soviet Union. Last May, a Russian-built Yakovlev Yak-40 plane carrying 30 people, including the transport minister and seven parliamentarians, crashed near the northern town of Sari, killing all on board. -Rupp <<<>>> <<<>>> <<<>>> <<<>>> <<<>>> <<<>>> <<<>>> <<<>>> <<<>>> <<<>>> * To remove yourself from this mailing list, point your browser to: http://i.pm0.net/remove?airsafetyonline * Enter your email address (LFutia@aol.com) in the field provided and click "Unsubscribe".
