It’s the quality of an event or chain of events defined by its result, impact and effect, independent of motive or responsibility. 1/

2 Would the child’s death have been any less tragic had it not been caused by illness?
For example, if the child had been struck by a car while crossing the street at a crosswalk? Or jaywalking?
Or shot along with mother and siblings by an estranged father?

Moments before takeoff on #FlightPS752: Sahar Haghjoo and her daughter Elsa Jadidi in their seats ready to fly home to Toronto. @globalnewsto #UkrainianPlaneCrash 
As it turns out Sahar Haghjoo’s name and face were familiar to me because I interviewed her on @globalnewsto in 2018. She was warm, kind and spoke eloquently. I remember her well. #UkrainianPlaneCrash #FlightPS752
To say that I’m heartbroken for her family would be an understatement. This is Sahar and her daughter Elsa last week on a train in Iran. May they Rest In Peace. #IranPlaneCrash #UkrainianPlaneCrash #FlightPS752 @globalnewsto
