This is the expreimental aircraft made specially for release of captive Americans during the Iran revolution in 1979. The aim was to land (and take-off) the plane on a football field 150 metres long. The cause of this aircrash is the pilots' mistake, they launched breaking rocket boosters too early during the training flight. As a result, very fast speed reduction, the airplane just fell on the runway, and wings fell off because of such hit. Information is from Discovery channel
