Looking at the passenger/survivors list: there were 90 people on board: 83 passengers, 6 crew, 1 Iran Aseman airlines representative.
21 people survived, 5 of the 6 crew survived (only the captain is not among survivors).

Here are some photos of the accident site next day:

Many thanks for the links.

The last link shows 1500 posts so a lot of discussion ala Pprune is taking place. I can't read the language so I wonder if those that can can give me a clue or two

What did the surviving crew indicate was the technical problem causing them to make a forced landing?

What have ground witnesses stated relative to the approach and landing?

was the aircraft visibly afire on approach?

How quickly did the fire spread on landing?

What have on board surviving passengers stated relative to the reported in-flight technical problems causing the forced landing?
