A Canadian mother aboard the fatal Ethiopian Airlines flight was taking her family to Kenya to visit her birthplace
Kosha Vaidya lived with her family in Brampton, Ontario. But she had decided it was time to take her daughters to Kenya to show them where she was born.
The flight they boarded never made it there. Vaidya, 37, her 45-year-old husband Prerit Dixit, their two daughters, and Vaidya's parents, 73-year-old Pannagesh Vaidya and 67-year-old Hansini Vaidya were all aboard the Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed minutes after takeoff on Sunday, according to CNN news partner CTV.
