Day Study: Student and Mykhaylo Bazelevskyy

day study: MacEwan Provost John Corlett told reporters that Bazelevskyy and a male student had gone down to the Promenade des Anglais to watch Bastille Day fireworks when a terrorist drove into crowds of revellers, killing at least 84, according to CTV. Corlett said the male student who was with Misha was quite close to the attack and feels fortunate to be alive. Ukrainian national Mykhaylo Bazelevskyy, 22, had not been located as of Friday afternoon, according to Mac Ewan University in Edmonton. He said that three other Canadian students had begun heading toward the promenade earlier in the evening, but turned around due to bad weather. Corlett said they are safe and in the student residence the five of them share. The other four students participating in a 15-day study abroad trip are Derek Anderson, Alanna Brokop, Ismail Khalil and Rebecca Smillie. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
