Wreckage was spread over a large area in a field in Jannatabad village, Qazvin province, about 75 miles (120km) north-west of Tehran, state TV said.
The Tupolev aircraft was flying from the Iranian capital to Yerevan in Armenia, Iranian media said.
The cause of the crash, which happened soon after take-off, was not known.
"The 7908 Caspian flight crashed 16 minutes after its take-off from the International Imam Khomeini Airport," Iran's Aviation Organisation spokesman, Reza Jafarzadeh, was quoted by Iranian Press TV as saying.

Seriously, what's up with the airline industry????
My theory is that now pretty much everyone in the world is a broke ass, airlines included, that they don't have the money to update their fleets. Just a thought....

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they are laying off people who are in charge of the inspections or buying shoddy parts or lowering the "inspection passing" standards.

Looks like a great place to dump a body. I wonder how many people on the plane are going to "turn out to be" members of the opposition party from the late unrest.
