AI 182: 23 June 1985

35 Years today since the downing of Air India 182, which will be marked by a ceremony in Cork.

From The Irish Times, 23 June 2020
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/irel...mony-1.4286155
A commemorative event has been held annually at a memorial garden near Ahakista on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula in west Cork, which is attended by the families of those who died on Flight 182. [...] All 307 passengers and 22 crew were killed when at 8.13am on June 23rd, 1985, a bomb placed by Sikh terrorists exploded on board the Boeing 747, named Kanishka, about 160km off the southwest coast of Ireland.
