Not even close to true. I know you were kidding, but make it obvious.

from actual news -

"Qassem Biniaz, a spokesman for Iran's Road and Transportation Ministry, said one of the plane's engines caught fire, causing the pilot to lose control of the aircraft, sending it crashing to the ground. Hassan Razaeifar, the head of air crash investigation committee, added that it appeared the pilot couldn't communicate with air-traffic controllers in Tehran in the last moments of the flight."
