'We were all screaming and screaming,' Navaz Ebrahim told CNN. 'That was a tragic night, a tragic night.'

Amirali Hajizadeh, a commander of the aerospace division, said he wished he had died instead of the passengers and crew when he learned the news. He and other officials, including Iran's President Hassan Rouhani and Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, publicly apologized, promising accountability and a full investigation. But the response did not satisfy Ebrahim.

"I hope as an outcome there will be some preventive measure put in place so this tragedy will never, ever happen to another family ever again," Ebrahim added. Candles light a photo of one of the victims of Ukrainian Airlines flight 752, which was shot down in Iran, during a vigil in Toronto, Ontario on January 9Saturday, referring to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. On Sunday, the protests continued, with some chanting:"They are lying that our enemy is America, our enemy is right here."
