What Did I Say About Air Disasters?

Talking about some people not able to heed good and sound advice but we have a bad case here where the airline company is fatally doing it. Iranian airline had just had an incident killing all 168 on board and today we just have another incident where another of their passenger plane burst into flames and skidded off the runway during a landing attempt, killing 17 people. The Russian-made Ilyushin plane from the privately owned Aria Arilines was carrying 153 passengers and flew from the capital Tehran to the north-eastern city of Mashhad, 600 miles (1,000 kilometres) away. I thought these Russian made Ilyushins and Tupolevs are no longer supposed to be flying in the air anymore as many of these Soviet-era planes that are harder to get parts for since the Soviet Union's fall. Also, I am surprised that this airline company is still able to fly commercial passenger flights when studies have shown that they are chronically strapped for cash, and maintenance have found to be suspicious. It is also a known fact that Iran is under U.S. sanctions which is preventing the country from updating its 30-year-old American aircrafts and get European spare parts or planes as well. This is just one example where I said about paying attention to the aircraft used for our booked flights and advise about traveling with "poor" airlines. Yet, we can also see what U.S. sanctions can really do to a country. It is just sad and tragic at the end of the day where innocent lives are lost here.
