| Helicopter crash kills Iranian governor |
| 2004-05-30 |
| A helicopter carrying a provincial governor and three of his aides from the site of an earthquake crashed in the mountains of northern Iran Saturday, killing all aboard, official Tehran television reported. It said the governor of Qazvin province was in the helicopter with three aides and a journalist working for Iran's state-run television. The report did not identify the officials by name, but the governor of Qazvin is Masoud Emami. The report also did not say how many pilots or crew were on board. Officials could not be immediately reached for more details. |

| #6 Let's face it, there's a certain appropriate parity going on here. If Iran is so hell bent on spending billions to obtain nuclear weaponry that they willingly countenance lax civil construction codes which permit tens of thousands of Iranian people to die in earthquakes that kill a few hundred elsewhere, what is going to stop them from neglecting proper inspection and maintenance schedules for their rotary wing airframes? Perhaps Iran's politicians should begin paying closer attention to more equitable spending in the civilian quarter. It appears as though their own lives may depend upon it. How f&%king ironic. |
