The Saha Airlines plane then plunged into a river at the end of the runway, the broadcaster said. " No deaths have been confirmed by the officials, " the television said, backing off its earlier report that 50 people had been killed. The plane, carrying 157 passengers, eight of them children, had just arrived from the tourist island of Kish in the Persian Gulf. http://story.news./news?tmpl=story & cid=540 & ncid=721 & e=7 & u=/ap/20050420/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_plane Dear List Members, Dasha is Ra/Ke/Me/Ma/Ve.
