Entire hen party killed in plane crash, including Turkish millionaire heiress

The bride was set to be married next month.

11 people are dead after a private plane crashed in an Iranian mountain range, including an entire hen party.

The hen party was in celebration of Turkish socialite and soon-to-be-bride, Mina Basaran who was just 28-years-old. She and her seven friends all tragically died in the crash.

Mina was set to be married next month.

The plane was bringing the women home from their Dubai bachelorette party on Sunday and was carrying a total of eight passengers and three crew when it crashed.

Mina’s father is Turkish millionaire Huseyin Basaran, who has not been answering calls or commented on the crash at this time.

“The wreck of the jet and the bodies are found. They will be carried down from the mountain when sun comes up. My condolences to those who lost their loved ones,” The head of the Turkish Red Crescent tweeted earlier this week.

The rescue crews had trouble reaching the site due to the rocky Iranian mountainside where the plane crashed.

“Mrs Bride” Photo was posted on Mina’s Instagram.

Mina had been posting snaps of her hen party on Social media.

One photo showed the back Mina in a personalised embroidered denim jacket which read, “#BetterTogether” atop of the words, “Mrs Bride”.

It’s a truly tragic accident and our thoughts go out to the families of those who lost their lives in the crash.
