Coconuts Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 That's awful, flights are typically pretty safe but there's always that small chance things go wrong. Lot of bad news rolling in this year. R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think North Vancouver has a proportionally high number of people of Iranian descent. Not sure if anywhere else in Canada comes even close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Anyone going to Iran is taking a chance with their life. Not surprised by any of it. Maybe surprised that there are Canadians willingly there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
