A day after a passenger train derailed leaving Mashhad, killing seven people, a passenger jet crashed landed in the city, injuring 46 people. The Taban Air plane caught fire upon landing at Mashhad at 7:20 am local time on Sunday. Iran has seen numerous crashes in recent years and its airlines have been plagued by maintenance problems.

ReplyDeleteRemember the C-130 crash back in 2005 that hit the apartment building and killed around 90 people!?
