an insult. "Really, it's all we have. We found that much in spare change in the couch under our rugs. Joe will send us more"
[JPost] Iran's cabinet on Wednesday allocated $150,000 for the families of each of the 176 victims of a Ukrainian plane shot down in Iranian airspace in January, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Describing Iran's handling of the situation as "unacceptable," Ukraine said the amount of compensation should be negotiated and called for those responsible to be brought to justice.

An Iranian government statement said: "The cabinet approved the provision of $150,000 or the equivalent in euros as soon as possible to the families and survivors of each of the victims of the Ukrainian plan crash," IRNA reported .

#3  IN 1963, travelers could buy insurance from three different insurers at most airports. If they bought policies from all three, they could get as much as $300,000 of coverage. So what happened to the booths?
