WINNIPEG It s been one year since a plane carrying dozens of Canadians was shot down in Iran shortly after take off. All 176 people on board were killed, including nine Manitobans. It s been difficult, to say the least, to try and still wrap our heads around it, said Negysa Kalar, whose aunt and 11-year-old cousin were killed in the crash. It s been hard especially with the pandemic not being able to be with family around those big times. Winnipeg s Farzaneh Naderi and Noojan Sadr were on Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752 as it left Tehran s international airport in January 2020. The plane was shot down shortly after taking off by Iran s Revolutionary Guard.

Pedram Mousavi sat with the other passengers on Ukrainian International Airlines Flight PS752 as it remained parked on the tarmac south of Iran s capital, Tehran, about an hour behind schedule in the pre-dawn darkness. It was Jan. 8, 2020. Amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, Mousavi texted a friend: I just want to get out of this mess. Mousavi, a University of Alberta engineering professor, his wife Mojgan Daneshmand, also an engineering prof, and their daughters Daria, 14, and Dorina, 9, were among 167 passengers and nine crew members on the flight. Shortly before takeoff, Sheyda Shadkhoo of Markham, Ont., phoned her husband to say she was nervous about flying. Everything will be fine, a tearful Hassan Shadkhoo later recalled reassuring his wife of 10 years.
