Dr. Todd Curtis discusses the fatal event involving an Itek Air
737-200. The aircraft was on a scheduled international flight from
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, to Tehran, Iran. About 10 minutes after
takeoff, the crew turned back to the departure airport and also
reported some kind of technical problem, crashing short of the
runway. There were about 83 passengers and seven crew on the
aircraft, including 17 members of Kyrgyzstan's national basketball
youth team. Seven team members reportedly survived. At least 65 of
those on board, including five of the seven crew members, were
killed.
