The beautiful family boarded the plane for their home on the morning of December 9, 2020.

We remember them dearly

This is for Asal:

my beautiful Asal. Not many people know your daddy was one of the best aeronautic engineers in Iran. I deeply feel bad to lose you in such a tragic incident. We failed you and other families, because they replaced us with unprofessional people in Iranian Aviation; and I personally fail you again, because the 737 was not strong enough to protect you.
