A Brampton family remembered: Three generations lost in Ethiopian Airlines crash
Prerit Dixit, 43, left, and Kosha Vaidya, 37, with their two daughters Ashka, 14, left, and Anushka Dixit, 13.Three generations of a Brampton family are among the 18 Canadians who died Sunday when Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa airport en route to Nairobi, killing all 157 passengers and crew members.
Relatives in Canada are experiencing “an emotional breakdown" over the news, but have not begun to make funeral or memorial arrangements, Mr. Vyas said. “They are not, right now, in the best state of mind" to make plans, he said of his sister, Hiral, and her husband, Manant Vaidya. Mr. Vaidya is the brother of Kosha Vaidya.
“I feel that it’s like I’ve lost my family,” Mr. Nandi said in an interview, repeating that he was “very deeply saddened and very deeply disturbed. We cried a lot yesterday. It is really unbelievable.” He shared a stage with Ashka last year at a community event in nearby Vaughan, Ont. His academy lost a very talented student, he said.
