One year after an airplane crash in India, people on the ground share their experiences

One year ago, an airplane crashed in India. Many people died in this accident. But some people on the ground also suffered. They saw the crash. They lost people they loved. Now they tell their stories.

A grandfather lost his grandchild in the crash. He remembers that day very well. He was at home. He heard a loud noise. He ran outside. Everything was very bad. He cannot forget what he saw. Now he looks sad every day.

One woman was near the crash. She saw the plane fall down. She tried to help people. But she could not do much. She feels very sad now. She says, "We don't look at the sky any more." She is afraid of airplanes now.

A man was a witness to the accident. He worked near the airport. He heard people screaming. He saw fire and smoke. He helped the police and doctors. But he still remembers the pain. He has bad dreams at night.

These people live in the same place now. They see each other sometimes. They talk about what happened. They help each other remember the people who died. They want people to know about this accident. They want people to understand their pain.

One year is a long time. But for these people, it feels like yesterday. The accident changed their lives forever. They are strong. They continue to live. But they will never forget.
