Breaking News: Iran Plane Crash Kills 48 (photos) by spectramissile: 1:15pm On Aug 10, 2014
Residents of Mehrabad were thrown into pandemonium after an air craft (Iran - 140) crashed not long after it took off from an airport near the capital Tehran killing 48 people on board.
The aircraft, an Iran-140 used for short domestic flights, crashed near Mehrabad airport, west of Tehran.
The plane went down in a residential area after its engine failed. Iranian state television said 48 people were killed in the crash - 40 passengers and eight crew members. The plane, operated by Sepahan Air, was heading to Tabas, a town in eastern Iran.
It took off at 9.20am local time and crashed shortly afterwards. The Iran-140 is a 52-seat passenger plane produced in Iran with Ukrainian technology.
Iran has suffered a series of plane crashes, blamed on its ageing aircraft and poor maintenance. Many of the Boeing aircraft in state-run Iran Air's fleet were bought before the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution, which disrupted ties with the U.S. and Europe. Iranian airlines, including those run by the state, are strapped for cash and maintenance has suffered, experts say.

One bad thing about air asari is that there is nowhere to escape. You are left at the mercy of the landing spot and the nature or the magnitude of the crash.
