Another brilliant bit of news reporting, Quote: "We believe that this occured on Landing because reports are that it was the "LANDING" gear that failed."

The Landing gear must be different from the Takeoff gear:confused:

Looks like that Iranian plane was a Russian Tu-154. "Iran has frequent plane accidents and has several times blamed them on U.S. sanctions" cnn. Either way however it happened sad to see anyone hurt. :(

Sort of, but not Really. The UN sanctions are very watered down because big countries like China don't want to risk interrupting oil flow.

That being said the US has gone solo on sanctions that actually hurt Iran, so these are the only ones they wine about.
