Police in the Iranian capital city of Tehran say 115 people died Tuesday when a military C-130 plane crashed into a 10-story apartment building as the pilot attempted to make an emergency landing because of engine trouble.

Most of those aboard the plane were journalists on their way to cover military maneuvers.

Witnesses initially said the C-130 hit the top of the building, but officials say one wing of the plane hit the second floor as the plane crashed to the ground.

All 84 passengers and ten crewmembers on the plane were killed. Twenty-one people in the apartment building also died, and 90 were injured.
