“We Still Remember” — 8 Years After the Karatu Tragedy
It’s been eight years, but for many, it still feels like yesterday.
In Karatu, a quiet town forever changed, the echoes of that heartbreaking school bus crash still linger. Thirty-two bright young students, two devoted teachers, and a kind driver lost their lives on that day—lives full of promise, laughter, and dreams suddenly gone.
The nation stood still in grief. Families wept, communities united in sorrow, and three children—miraculously pulled from the wreckage—emerged as beacons of hope in the darkest of times.
Today, people still gather. Flowers are gently placed. Names are softly spoken. And though time has moved forward, hearts remain heavy. This isn’t just a memory—it’s a vow. A vow to never forget.
We still remember. Always.
