The verdict of the air India bomb which killed 329 people is due today.
Three Sikh's on trial accused of bombing the palne in a call for an independent Sikh Punjab state. The deadliest aviation attack before September 11th. Does anyone remember the day they brought the bodies into Cork airport?
Hope the families can move on after tonight and all the victims RIP
Long time ago and long before you were born. Just amazed it's taken so long to get some sort of justice.
Aye I know-20 years; my oldest brother was only 1; never really knew about it before so just interested in it now.Quote:

The next day I heard that the airport departure loung had been bombed with a small device in the roof. I couldn't believe that the airport remained opened. Can't remember who was responsible for this but it was June 1991 less than a month after Gandhi's son was assasinated and hundreds were killed in the usual inter-communal violence that happens after such an event in India.
A couple of days later I was with Conchita walking around a golf course attached to our hotel, cheifly fascinated by the hundreds of vultures in the trees. A smartly dressed Anglo-Indian started talking to us and asked our nationality. He then came out with an extraordinary statement in view of the events of the previous month: 'Ahh Irish. What is all this killing in Ireland about? Can't you live together in peace?'
