Relatives remember victims of air disaster

THE daughter of an air hostess killed in the Air India bombing off west Cork in 1985 was among 40 relatives of victims attending the 25th anniversary commemoration ceremony yesterday.

Kriselle Rodricks was 17 months old when she lost her mother, who never returned to the family home in Mumbai following the terrorist attack on Air India flight 82 on the morning of June 23, 1985.

Her father, Christopher Rodricks, said his wife, Elaine, loved her job but he harbours “deep regret” for the day she left.
