2010-01-24 06:03:31 - Vehicle Accident - Iran EDIS CODE: VI-20100124-24680-IRN Date & Time: 2010-01-24 06:03:31 [UTC] Area: Iran, Governorate of Ostan-e Khorasan-e Razavi, Mashhad airport, Mashhad Event exciting : Taban Air (Tu-154) Number of Injured person(s): 20 Damage level: Moderate (Level 2) Not confirmed information! Description: Iran's state TV's Web site says a Russian-made Iranian passenger plane carrying 157 has crash landed in northeastern Iran injuring at least 20 people. The Web site says there is no reports yet available on the possible death toll. It says the private Taban Air plane caught fire upon landing at Mashhad airport. The report says the plane has been seriously damaged. Iran has about a dozen Soviet-built Tu-154 airliners. U.S. sanctions prevent Iran from updating its 30-year-old American aircraft and make it difficult to get European spare parts or planes as well. The country has come to rely on Russian aircraft, many of them Soviet-era planes that are harder to get parts for since the fall of the Soviet Union.
