Caspian Airlines flight 6936 made an unstabilized, tailwind approach to runway 13 at Mahshahr and touched down late at high speed. The MD 83 overran the runway and stopped on the road beyond the airport. All occupants evacuated and no one was killed. The investigation blamed poor decisions and crew resource management by the pilots.
