Up to 15 are feared dead after a cargo plane 'landed at the wrong airport' amid severe weather in Iran and crashed into a residential building before exploding.
The Boeing 707, which was carrying meat from Kyrgyzstan, skidded off a runway after an emergency landing in the town of Safadasht, near the Iranian capital of Tehran.
There were 16 people onboard and only the flight engineer survived, according to Fars news agency, which is considered close to the military.
The plane crashed at Fath Airport when it was meant to land at the nearby Payam International Airport, about 25 miles west of Tehran, the Iranian capital. Authorities did not immediately offer a reason for the mistake, though they said the Iranian crew had declared an emergency prior to landing.
Fath Airport belongs to Iran's powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. It wasn't immediately clear who owns the plane.
Rescuers say the bodies of seven people have been recovered with searches continuing.

Fire immediately engulfed the aircraft after it skidded off a runway and crashed into a wall separating the air field from a residential neighborhood. Images showed the burned-out tail of the plane sticking out, surrounding by charred homes.
Earlier, local media had reported that at least 10 people were onboard without confirming any casualties.
'It exited the runway during the landing and caught fire after hitting the wall at the end of the runway,' the army statement said.
State broadcaster IRIB showed footage of burning wreckage, while several agencies showed teams of rescue workers around the charred fusilage.
The plane was making a landing approach heading for the wrong airport and trying to land at a non-commercial runway near a residential area instead of a cargo terminal some 2.5 miles away, a report by Iranian state TV claimed

Iranian state television showed pictures of a plume of smoke rising from the crash site (shown). Some reports on Iranian media said up to 16 were on board and that all but one were killed
'Details of the accident and martrydom or injury of the flight team is still being investigated,' the army said.
Iranians often use the word 'martyrdom' for those who die in war or national service, suggesting the aircraft may have belong to the air force. The air force does operate Boeing 707s.
The Iranian air force does operate Boeing 707s and it also has a civilian airline, SAHA.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
