An Iranian military cargo plane filled with local journalists crashed into an apartment building in the capital city of Tehran Tuesday afternoon, killing at least 118 people, according to state news agencies.
I can’t imagine the Iranian government is too distraught about this. It was in an American military plane (weird) so we’ll be taking the blame I imagine.
Here’s a picture of what they were in http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/draw/c130_amc91.jpg I’m not aviation expert but the reports of the tail section exploding in mid air seems a little strange considering the lack of engines at the back.
