"(Via Daily Mail) A Ukrainian passenger plane carrying 170 passengers and crew has crashed near Tehran just three minutes after takeoff.

The plane had taken off from Imam Khomeini International Airport when it suffered ‘technical problems’, Iranian State TV reported.

Unverified video footage tweeted by the BBC’s Iran correspondent, Ali Hashem, appeared to show the plane burning in the sky before crashing in a huge explosion.

Flight information shows Ukrainian International Airlines flight PS752 – a Boeing 737-800 – taking off at 2.44am UTC (6.14am local time) and reaching a height of 7,925ft before the data abruptly ends.

An investigation team was at the site of the crash in southwestern outskirts of Tehran, Iran’s civil aviation spokesman Reza Jafarzadeh told the Associated Press."

There were reports the plane was shot down by accident by the Iranian military

The Iranians will not give up the “Black Box” to Boeing or anyone else because it will prove that they shot it down. The plane was a Boeing 737-800, not a 737-Max which has been suspended from operations due to two recent crashes.
