The identities of the 18 Canadians killed when an Ethiopian Airlines plane went down shortly after takeoff are starting to emerge, as those who knew them begin to share their grief. Absolutely crushed to learn that one of my @cityofcalgary colleagues, wonderful community leader Derick Lwugi, was amongst those killed in the plane crash this morning in Ethiopia. Our community is saddened by the news of the Ethiopian Airlines crash on which one of our graduates, Danielle Moore (Valedictorian, class of 2012), was a passenger. Our condolences and prayers go out to the Moore family, as well as the other families of those who lost loved ones. This post will continue to be updated as information about the victims of the crash becomes available.
