RIP to those who died.

With respect to the safety record, TU-154 is slightly SAFER than 727 with only 110 serious incidents compared to 727's 325 serious incidents.

TU-154 = 1,025 airframes

727 = 1,831 airframes

What you have to understand is that it's the MAINTENANCE and CREW TRAINING that are responsible for the majority of air crashes, rarely is it the design of the aircraft. The TU-154 is a SAFE aircraft when maintained well with thorough crew training.

Think with LOGIC people!

How come flight 93 crash site didn't look this bad during September 11th 2001 "terrorist" attack?

[xxchinookxx]

Because perhaps flight 93 really never existed and if it did, it was shot down by ANG F-16s near Ohio. I do not subscribe to tales of heros attacking any cockpit because most folks today don't want to get involved of give a hoot.

shame on ANDY singer who didnot vancel his concert in Aremenia, all he cares is money, he doesnot like his armenian people, people please understand it, tell ur friends all about it, dont support him, when he is not respecting YOU

[EncompassedRunner]

A Corriere della Sera report coming out today says that the crash was caused by explosion of oonboard ammunition destined for Hizbullah: The plane contained various kinds of ammunition, which were supposed to be sent to South Lebanon."

[breh760li]

yeah its sad that iran could not afford to buy new planes like boeing/airbus...which leads to these kinds of after effects..because politics always gets in the way and the effects often are not benefitting to many...

[pwiinc3zz99]

n wats scary is the armenian chick wrote on her facebook ' heading to the unknown may God bless' just before the flight. wheres the unknnown?? well one thing for sure armenia would definatly not be counted as the unknown.

[evabogo]

RIP

[Persiaisgreat]

There's nothing wrong with these people.

There's something wrong with the US and Europe to put so many "sanctions" on Iran to the extent that they can't buy spare parts anymore...no new airplanes, etc.

The world we live in is cruel and we, people, are frequently the scapegoats of "the dirty game of politics".

[sjvietboy408]

@Persiaisgreat, I agreed. The EU, USA, UN thinks if they can't overthrow a dictator regime in other countries in order to help the people of those countries then they sanctions the shit out of that country and at the same time it affects the peoples' lives. I don't get it is that what they call helping the people of the world? or are they intended to overthrow any governments who oppose them should be replaced with a puppet regime that plays along?

[shagenchik]

Most of the passengers were actually Iranians and 36 were Armenians and 2 Georgians.

[ALTEZZAKAR]
