Ahakista Memorial Honors Air India Flight 182 Victims

A long time ago, on June 23, 1985, a plane called Air India Flight 182 was flying over the ocean near Ireland.

Suddenly, a bomb exploded on the plane, and it crashed into the sea.

Everyone on the plane, 329 people, died.

This was a very sad and terrible event.

The families of the people who died wanted a special place to remember their loved ones.

So, in a beautiful place called Ahakista in Ireland, a memorial was built.

The memorial has the names of all the people who died.

Every year, families and important people visit the memorial to remember and honor those who lost their lives.

The memorial is very peaceful and beautiful, with flowers, a sun dial, and a view of the sea.

It helps the families feel close to their loved ones even though they are gone.
