The Luke Bresette memorial is a bronze plaque located in the main terminal of the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. It was dedicated on February 3, 2016 in memory of Luke Bresette, an 11-year-old boy who was crushed to death when a flight information display fell on top of him, his mother two siblings. The display had been recently installed as part of the airport's $201.6 million "Terminal Modernization Project".
The plan to erect a permanent memorial was announced on the same day as the settlement of a civil lawsuit filed by the Bresette family against a group of defendants involved in the design and construction of the flight display, including BLOC Global, Brasfield & Gorrie, KPS Group and Fish Construction.
