All 168 passengers and crew have died in a Caspian Airlines plane crash in northern Iran. The wreckage was spread over a large area in a field in Jannatabad village, Qazvin province, about 75 miles (120km) north-west of Tehran. The Tupolev plane was flying from the Iranian capital to Yerevan in Armenia, with mostly Iranian passengers. The cause of the crash, which happened soon after take-off, was unknown. One witness said it plummeted from the sky. The flight crashed 16 minutes after its take-off from the International Imam Khomeini Airport. No problems were reported before take-off.

They didn't find as many on flight 93 because there were a lot less people for one. It hit the ground going over 500 mph too.

Is it me or has there been a lot of plan crashes this year?
