Mangaluru pays homage to victims of air crash at solemn ceremony
- | Tuesday | 22nd May, 2018
– Sasikanth Senthil S, deputy commissioner.I was directed by AAI HQ to report to Mangaluru immediately in the aftermath of the air crash and reached here that afternoon. AAI subsequently reposted me back to MIA in July, since the airport was getting a lot of bed press over handling of the air crash and its aftermath. A minute of silence was observed before Senthil laid a wreath at the newly-constructed memorial at the park. Speaking first-hand to one of the air crash survivors over phone after being tipped off by a local who suspected that the flight had crashed and alerted the control room, is a memory that I can never forget. Designed in the shape of the tailplane, the memorial abuts the park on the banks of the Gurupur.
