The Aseman Airlines Fokker 100 flying EP853 from Mashhad could not get its left main landing gear to indicate down and locked on approach to Zahedan. The crew aborted the approach, held for about an hour to burn fuel, and tried unsuccessfully to lower the gear before landing on runway 35 with a partial gear up. The aircraft rolled about 1,500 metres, left the runway and came to rest on sand with substantial damage. All 103 occupants evacuated, with 9 minor injuries reported during the evacuation.
