The families of people who died in the AI-171 plane crash are asking for the black box data and cockpit voice recordings to be made public.

The plane crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad airport, killing many people.
The families are also asking for a memorial to be built at the crash site.
They say the investigation is taking too long and they want the truth to come out.
They are not happy that some parts of the cockpit conversation were shared early but now the authorities are saying they won't share everything.
