My uncle was in Ethiopia and was part of a different group going to Rwanda at the same time as the crash. Let's just say that the news hit close to home at the time it happened, but he gave our family news very quickly to assure he was safe. He likely knew a person or two from the crashed plane.

And at the same time, 6 out of 18 all belonged to one family
