Air India Flight 182 was an Air India flight operating on the Montréal-London-Delhi route. On 23 June 1985, the aeroplane operating on the route — a Boeing 747-237B (c/n 21473/330, reg VT-EFO) named after Emperor Kanishka — was blown up by a bomb while in Irish airspace, at an altitude of 31,000 feet (9,400 m), and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. 329 people perished, including 280 Canadian citizens, mostly of Indian birth or descent, and 22 Indians.[1] The incident was the largest mass murder in modern Canadian history, and the deadliest act of air terrorism before 9/11. It was the first bombing of a 747 Jumbo Jet, preceding the better-known 1988 bombing of Americans aboard Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland which was also brought down by explosives placed in a radio inside a bag without its passenger boarding. The explosion and downing of the carrier occurred within an hour of the fatal Narita Airport Bombing which also originated from Canada without the passenger for the bag that exploded on the ground before being placed on another Air India flight. Evidence from the explosion pointed to a related attempt to blow up two airliners simultaneously by the alleged bomb maker who had purchased a stereo tuner and other parts for the device in Canada and to other possible associates in Canada who had their conversations wiretapped.
Investigation and prosecution took almost 20 years and was the most expensive trial in Canadian history, costing nearly CAD $130 million. The main suspects in the bombing were the members of the Sikh separatist Babbar Khalsa and other related groups. Though a handful of members would be arrested and tried, due to a lack of solid evidence and various legal and investigation errors, Inderjit Singh Reyat was the only person convicted of involvement in the bombing, after pleading guilty in 2003 to manslaughter. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for building the bombs that exploded at Narita airport and aboard Flight 182.[2]
The Governor General-in-Council in 2006 appointed former Supreme Court justice John Major to conduct a commission of inquiry and his report was completed and released on 17 June 2010. It was found that a "cascading series of errors" by the Government of Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service had allowed the terrorist attack to take place.Download links:
