TEHRAN, Iran — A military plane loaded with Iranian journalists crashed into a 10-story apartment building Tuesday as the pilot attempted an emergency landing after developing engine trouble. At least 115 people died, the Tehran police chief said.

The C-130, a four-engine turboprop, crashed in the Azari suburb of Tehran.

Before firefighters extinguished the blaze, flames roared from the roof and windows in several of the upper floors. Panicked residents fled the building. Police held back a crowd of thousands, many of them screaming and weeping that they had to find friends or loved ones who were in the building.

Everyone on the plane — 84 passengers and a crew of 10 — was killed. Most were Iranian radio and television journalists.

Twenty-one people in the apartment building also died and 90 were injured.
