Ukrainian Airlines Plane Crash in Tehran, Iran: Reports
Moderate earthquake - Borazjan, Iran - January 8, 2020
An Ukrainian Airlines passenger plane carrying 180 people has crashed in Tehran, Iran, according to multiple news reports in the US, England, and Iran. The news comes after great unrest on the evening of January 7, 2020 (US time – it’s morning in Tehran), with Iran launching missiles at Iraqi bases that house American soldiers.
Although it’s not yet clear if there are any survivors, early photos to emerge from the scene are grim; they don’t show much left of the jet.
The cause of the Boeing 737 plane crash is not yet known. However, early reports indicate that the plane had technical problems. However, CNN reported that those reports came from “Iran’s semi-official news agency ISNA.” Some on Twitter were using early flight data to raise questions about that claim.
