From early childhood, Joanna Toole liked to keep rats in the bedroom of her home in Exmouth, Devon

From early childhood, Joanna Toole liked to keep rats in the bedroom of her home in Exmouth, Devon. She said they were extremely intelligent and made good pets.

Other animals she kept included hamsters, a rabbit, two giant African land snails and pigeons, which she trained to fly home.

At secondary school, she discovered some boys throwing stones at a bird’s nest in a hedge.She confronted them, and the boys made up an unkind ditty about her, which spread throughout the school.

For web developers whatsapp group links years afterwards, pupils would taunt her with the song. But her position was clear: to protect animals from needless suffering, even if it meant exposing herself to harm.

When she grew up, Joanna became a consultant to the UN food recipe whatsapp group links and Agriculture Unit.Her passion was ocean conservation — in particular the harm done to wildlife by discarded fishing nets. In March 2019, 36-year-old Joanna was invited to speak on the subject at the UN environment assembly in Nairobi, Kenya.

The night before she left, she had dinner with her partner, Paul, at their home in Rome.He worked at the Irish Embassy, and they’d met at a conference four years earlier. They were planning to move back to the UK, get married and have children.

Joanna had a brief stopover in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, before continuing her journey on , from 35 countries, and eight crew members on board.

The plane, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, took off at 8.38am local time on March 10.A minute and a half later, the nose of the plane pitched downwards. A faulty sensor had registered incorrectly that the aircraft was at too steep an angle and was about to stall. This had triggered new software which had automatically pushed the nose down.

‘What’s going on?’ said the captain, Yared Getachew, at 8.39am, politics whatsapp group links according to the cockpit voice recorder.The pilots struggled to regain control of the plane, but the software kicked in and drove the nose aggressively down.

The pilots tried again. ‘Pull with me,’ urged the captain to his first officer, Ahmednur Mohammed. But the automated system overrode them.The recording stopped 23 seconds after the pilots’ fourth attempt.

Six minutes after take-off, web developers whatsapp group links Flight 302 nose-dived at 175mph, web developers whatsapp group links crashing into farmland, near the village of Ejere, 32 miles from Addis Ababa, killing everyone on board.

Early that morning, Joanna’s father, Adrian, was at home in Devon when he heard about the crash from the BBC News website.

There had been five planes flying that morning from Addis to Nairobi, and it took until lunchtime before Paul could confirm Joanna had indeed been on the doomed flight.

‘It was like the end of the world,’ says Adrian, 71.He exhales deeply. ‘All that promise cut short. It just seems so very unfair — it should have been me rather than her.’

For the past four years, Adrian, Paul and the other bereaved families have dedicated themselves to proving that the crash wasn’t a random accident.

It was an avoidable tragedy: Boeing had prioritised profit over safety, concealed critical safety issues and put the flying public at risk.

‘As the story has unfolded, it’s been revelation after revelation,’ Paul says.’My beautiful daughter died in a death trap. Why hasn’t Boeing faced justice?’
