According to Wikipedia, the accident in question indicated that a wing came off
Or, depending on who you believe:

"[Managing-Director of Iran’s Airport Company Mohammad Ilkhani] confirmed that the pilot was about to take off at the end of the runway when he lost his starboard engine and crashed the plane seconds after take-off."

Presumably he doesn't actually mean an engine failure prior to commencing the takeoff roll ...

Passenger plane crashed with 48 persons on board in Tehran
