Meisam Salahi, who lost his brother and sister-in-law when Iran unintentionally shot down a Ukrainian plane killing everyone on board, speaks out about the last phone call he had with his brother, and how he's dealing with the tragic new reality.
But thousands of miles away in his adopted country of Canada, where he and his brother had moved more than a decade ago from Iran, Meisam Salahi struggled with unsparing loss and grief. In an interview at Mohsen and Amirliravi's home in the Toronto suburb of Richmond Hill, he was still in shock.
Meisam learned about their deaths during a sleepless night last week as he worried about what might happen in the aftermath of Iran’s missile strikes. At around 4 a.m., he switched on his phone. “I said, ‘What are you talking about?" He said, 'Call your mom,’” Meisam recalled. “I’m like, ‘OK.' Then my hands start shaking.”
“I fell on the floor,” Meisam said, adding, “How am I going to live the rest of my life without him, without her?”
