Talk:2003 Iran Ilyushin Il-76 crash

Related
The related section is currently kinda pointless. Just being in Iran isn't "related". Besides, there is a aviation incidents in Iran category automatically built in to Wikipedia, making a list of Iranian crashes here unnecessary. How about crashes of similar planes? Or crashes with similarly unknown causes? Or crashes in countries who aren't open about their investigations?

 * Inadequate maintenance has been cited as the most probable cause of the crash. Iranian air traffic has a poor safety record for this reason, owing in part to sanctions against Iran (preventing the trade of aircraft parts and skilled labor). The link can stay deleted, however - the link is tenuous and may prove confusing to casual readers. Andyo2000 (talk) 04:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

ASN
Hello, The ASN Database says "only" 275 victims for this plane crash. I really think that 302 fatalities was a first "estimation" and that 275 is the really death toll.

See this link: http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20030219-0? --81.64.145.249 (talk) 14:33, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Death toll
Are there any sources that state hat the death toll was downgraded from 302 to 275? I cannot find any. I think a range should be added. Beejsterb (talk) 07:14, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
