17 Dead As Iranian Airliner Overshoots Runway

Iran's Second Air Disaster In 10 Days

An Iranian airliner overshot a runway and struck the airport perimeter wall, killing 17 of the 153 people on board, and injuring 19 others. "There was an accident and a fire involving a passenger plane from Tehran to Mashhad," the official IRNA news agency reported, quoting the deputy governor of Khorasan province, Ghahreman Raid.

The aircraft, a Russian-designed Ilyushin 62 owned by the independent Iranian carrier Aria Airline, landed about mid-field and overshot the end of the runway. The Mehr news agency reports that the aircraft went beyond the perimeter, struck powerlines, and came to rest in a farmer's field.

The international news service AFP reports state television quoted the director of the public relations department at Mashhad's Hashemi Najad airport as saying the aircraft had a "technical glitch". He was identified only by his surname, Pirhandeh.

Earlier this month, a Caspian Airlines jet caught fire 16 minutes after takeoff from Tehran and went down, killing all 168 people on board.
