A Ukrainian airplane carrying 180 passengers and crew crashed Wednesday near an airport in the capital, Tehran, state TV reported. There was no immediate word on casualties.
The plane had taken off from Imam Khomeini International Airport, the report said. The crash is suspected to have been caused by mechanical issues, it added, without elaborating.
An investigation team was at the site of the crash in southwestern outskirts of Tehran, civil aviation spokesman Reza Jafarzadeh said.
Flight data from the airport showed a Ukrainian 737-800 flown by Ukraine International Airlines took off Wednesday morning, then stopped sending data almost immediately afterward, according to website FlightRadar24. The airline did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Meanwhile, the Al Hadath News agency from Jordan reports the plane may have been shot down accidentally by an Iranian missile. This is still unconfirmed.

200 millionaires on a Hamptons beach told Federal agents they saw the missile tracer zeroing in the plane.
A pair of off-duty FBI agents saw it too from a fishing boat but were silenced after opening their mouths
Like something from the X-Files tv show, Black Ops commandos showed up at the FAA listening post in Islip to confiscate the surveillance tapes which the govt later claimed were mysteriously "lost"

ReplyDeleteDoubt Iran would take out a Ukrainian airline at their own airport.
Work a bit on your reporting.

ReplyDeleteDid you read the headline?
First of all i put a question mark
Second of all ...I asked if it was a "mistake"
It could well have been an Iranian missle firing at the US base and missed its mark
and finally it was Jordan News that reported it
