At a Christmas party in 2019, Mahda Jahromi found himself chatting with Ardalan Hamidi, one of his wife’s colleagues. Two weeks later, he heard the news that the man and his family were among the 176 people killed when a civilian Boeing 737 was shot down near Tehran.
“He and all of his family went away in a second,” says Jahromi, a lecturer at SFU’s School of Sustainable Energy Engineering. “I still get choked up when I think about how similar each one of the victims were to people like myself and my family. A lot of them were young, educated immigrants with families and so many hopes and dreams; lives to live.”
