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
@globalnewsto Sahar's husband returned to Toronto last week to go back to work. She stayed with their daughter Elsa to visit with family in Iran. #IranPlaneCrash #UkrainianPlaneCrash #FlightPS752 @globalnewsto
@globalnewsto Sahar had a career as a TV show host in Iran, prior to coming to Canada. Here, she worked for the @YWCAToronto to help settle immigrant and refugee women. Her colleague told @globalnewsto she was "bright, full of life, witty and funny." Sahar will be missed. #UkrainianPlaneCrash
@globalnewsto @YWCAToronto And this is 8-year-old Elsa Jadidi, Sahar's daughter. She is remembered by her school as a "stellar student and impeccable leader." Elsa was in grade 3. #UkrainianPlaneCrash #IranPlaneCrash @globalnewsto
When I asked Sahar in May 2018 how she felt seeing the hateful graffiti on her daughter’s school, she replied, ‘we live in Canada so we appreciate the diversity and it’s just horrifying.’ @globalnewsto globalnews.ca/news/4222897/p…
About the anti-Muslim graffiti at the time, Sahar told me, ‘we’re seeing it more and more unfortunately.. it’s a sad truth.’ @globalnewsto #UkrainianPlaneCrash #Flight752
Sahar was kind and thoughtful. Her father said, ‘she was my sweet heart.’ I think of her, Elsa, and their grieving loved ones tonight. #IranPlaneCrash #UkrainianPlaneCrash
Sahar’s final text message to her father ‘taking off now’.. globalnews.ca/news/6392085/s… @globalnewsto #UkrainianPlaneCrash #IranPlaneCrash #FlightPS752
Spoke to Sahar’s father. Told him about all the likes, comments and RTs. Assured him - thanks to you all - Sahar and Elsa will be known, and they will be remembered. #UkrainianPlaneCrash #ukraineplanecrash #FlightPS752 @globalnewsto
