2005 Iranian Air Force C-130 crash
The aircraft, bound for Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf, was carrying 10 crew and 84 passengers,[1] of whom 68 were reportedly journalists en route to watch a series of military exercises off the country's southern coast.Shortly after takeoff, the pilot reported engine problems and unsuccessfully attempted to make an emergency landing at the city's Mehrabad International Airport, from which the aircraft had departed.The aircraft came down in a densely populated area of Hasanabad-e Baqeraf, near Tehran, crashing into an apartment building where many Iranian air force personnel resided.[5] The head of Tehran's rescue services was quoted in an interview with the Iranian Students' News Agency as saying that 132 people had been injured.SBS World News reported that riot police were called in to control onlookers who were blamed for blocking the access of emergency workers.
