All 104 passengers and nine crew of an Iran Air Fokker 100 are safe following a night emergency landing on flat ground about 10km (5nm) from the pilot's planned diversion airport at Isfahan, Iran. Loss-adjuster Airclaims confirms that the aircraft was in landing configuration and that the gear was destroyed. The country's civil-aviation-authority chief Ali Shahcheraghi says that the crew had diverted the Orumiyeh-Tehran flight on 5 January because of bad weather, but reported "technical problems".
