and 15 crews on board crashed near Iran's Qazvin province on Wednesday

Wednesday morning when it crashed near two villages in a nonresidential
area 16 minutes after it took off from Imam Khomeini international
airport near Qom, said spokesman for Iran's Civil Aviation
Organization, Reza Jafarzadeh.

of the plane.
A delegation has been sent to the scene soon after the event was
reported but the reason for the crash and how it happened is not

find a farm to land when it hit the ground.

the burnt bodies of the people on board out of the plane.
All members, head coach and coach of Iran's national cadet judo
