All of 329 passengers were killed, including 60 children aged below 10, 22 Americans, 160 Canadians and more than 100 Indian nationals along with others, when Air India Flight 182, cruising at an altitude of 31,000 feet, lost radar contact with air traffic controllers at Shanwick, Ireland. The flight disintegrated at altitude and the wreckage was scattered along a nine-mile swath of the ocean at 6,000 feet. The voice recorder showed there had been a loud bang aboard the aircraft. __
