January 8 marked the first anniversary of the tragedy of the crash of the Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.
176 passengers were on board the flight, in which 138 of them had ties with Canada.
Minutes after the plane took off from the Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport in Iran, Flight PS752 came down in field where all passengers on board lost their lives. The cause was first said to be due to a mechanical error, but evidence was later discovered that the plane was hit by an Iranian missile.
Area dentist Dr. Hamed Esmaeilion was one of the members who lost family on that fatal flight.
His wife, Dr. Parisa Eghbalian, also a dentist, and daughter Reera Esmaeilion were two of the 176 victims.
