The plane crashed in the French Alps. When the beauty of that area was described to her, she said, "Everything is great for him. Not for us.
We just can calm ourselves with the picture that he is now the king of the Alps." Another Iranian sports journalist, Hossein Javadi, also died on the crash. He was Milad Eslami's friend and had also covered the soccer match.
Given Germanwings' name and its base in Cologne, it's no surprise that so many of the victims -- about half -- are from Germany. That's especially the case in Haltern, a town about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Dusseldorf. Sixteen students and two young teachers from Joseph-Koenig Gymnasium school had left Haltern eight days ago for Llinars del Valles, a Spanish town about 25 miles northeast of Barcelona.
Headmaster Ulrich Wessel said he and others first hoped the students and teachers, who his school has named, had missed their intended flight and taken another one. Then they were told that all 18 had been on the Flight 9525 passenger list. That fact has "changed totally" everything for Haltern's more than 1,200 students, he added.
"Many students can't really understand what happened. These were their friends," Wessel said. "... I'm speechless."
The students should have been looking forward to the summer and, eventually, to attending university. The teachers -- one of whom had just gotten married -- had their own long lives ahead of them as well. Their loss has shaken not just Joseph-Koenig Gymnasium, but all of Haltern.
"The whole city is shocked, and we can feel it everywhere," Mayor Bodo Klimpel said. "Siegfried" is a classic German opera, created by one of its greats, Richard Wagner. It tells the story of Siegfried, a proud orphan who slays a dragon and finds love with the Earth goddess Erda.
It makes sense, then, that two German singers -- Oleg Bryjak and Maria Radner -- would be invited to Barcelona to perform at the city's Gran Teatre del Liceu. According to the theater's Facebook page, the pair had just performed in "Siegfried" in Barcelona. Bryjak played Alberich, the brother of the dwarf who raised Siegfried.
And Radner was Erda. Both had successful careers and full lives beyond this one production. In addition to her flourishing career, Radner had a husband and child -- both of whom presumably died with her on the Germanwings flight, according to New York's Metropolitan Opera.
Radner debuted at the Met in 2012 in "Gotterdammerung," another opera by Wagner. "Maria was a gifted artist who touched the lives of many Met company members during her time with us," the Met said in a statement. Many in Dusseldorf's Deutsche Oper am Rhein ensemble were shocked when that opera's artistic director, Stephen Harrison, relayed the news about Bryjak, who had been part of the ensemble since 1996.
"Such a terrible and sudden loss, one doesn't know how to deal with it," Harrison said. Bryjak, a bass baritone, could excel in serious roles but always kept his sense of humor and never failed to be kind and giving to others, he said. "He was an incredibly warmhearted and generous artist and friend," said Harrison.
The Gran Teatre del Liceu put its flags at half-staff and held two minutes of silence for the late singers. "The lyrical family is in mourning," tweeted the theater's artistic director, Christina Scheppelmann, who is herself of German descent. "But we are not alone."
While Winkelmann -- who admitted his information wasn't complete and could change -- said that one Colombian was on board, the South American nation's Foreign Ministry said two of its citizens took that ill-fated flight. One of them was 36-year-old Luis Eduardo Medrano. The architect leaves behind his parents and two brothers, according to the Fundacion Universitaria de Popayan, where he had studied.
He also leaves a legacy behind in the African nation of Equatorial Guinea, where he'd been working with the engineering company Atland Global, according to an interview he gave his university. The other Colombian victim is MarĂa del Pilar Tejada, a 33-year-old economist. Tejada lived in Germany, working to earn her doctorate at the University of Cologne, Colombia's Caracol Radio reported.
She'd gone to Barcelona to visit her husband. Those on the Germanwings flight included people traveling for business and to catch up with friends and loved ones. There were also some who were flying around Europe for fun on vacation.
People like Carol Friday and her son Greig, two Australians believed killed in the crash, according to that country's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop. Carol Friday, who turned 68 the day before the crash, was a midwife and registered nurse who most recently worked for the city of Casey, near Melbourne, the family said in a statement released through Australia's government. "Our family is in deep disbelief and crippled with sadness," the family said.
Paul Andrew Bramley, a native of the English city of Hull, just finished his first year studying hospitality and management at Cesar Ritz Colleges in Switzerland. He'd spent a few days with friends in Barcelona before heading to the airport to return to the United Kingdom via Dusseldorf. And he was about to start an internship next week.
His parents, including his father back in Hull, are now left trying to make sense of what happened. "Paul was a kind, caring and loving son," said his mother, Carol Bramley, who'd flown from her current home in Majorca to the United Kingdom to meet up with her son. "He was the best son.
He was my world.".
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
