Too many conflicting reports flying around everywhere to be sure of what has actually happened yet. Flight was inbound to SHJ and crashed outside the airfield area. Some reports saying close to a supermarket in a residential area.

Whatever the facts it's a tragedy and thoughts go to family and friends of those affected. I certainly hope the services were up to the task.

Having flown Kish Air, all be it 5 or so years ago, I am only surprised this had not happened sooner. It had to be one of the scariest flights ever with old eqipment that was falling apart. Let us hope that some good comes of this and more stringent measures are put into place in all countries on certifying the airworthiness of aircraft.
