Air India 182 - Trailer

On June 22, 1985, Air India 182 left Montreal, bound for New Delhi. Four hours after takeoff, a bomb ripped through the baggage compartment, killing all 329 people on board. It was the most deadly act of air terrorism in history before 9/11. The film counts down the final weeks and hours before Air India 182 disappeared off Irish radar screens and we sleepwalked into the era of international terrorism.

Thank you for your comments. Its impossible to say definitively what the terrorists intended. There is an argument that had the Narita Flight not been early, everyone on board THAT flight would have been killed. I can only hold them accountable for what they DID.

If you advance at 2min in the video, we can clearly hear a sudden explosion and someone yelling. The people in the front of the airplane must have heard the blast but they couldn't do anything........ it was too late.

@gitane1976 Its awful isn't it. We have listened to the actual recording many times, and couldn't say for sure if this is the explosion - but the timeline fits

[gitane1976]

@AirIndia182 Yeah...... I can't believe that the people who were checking for the luggage let the bomb pass believing that it was a false alarm. So many lives were taken innocently. If I were one of the luggage staff who let pass the bomb, I would be really shocked.

@gitane1976 You know... It has never been established for sure that the bag that contained the bomb was the same bag that had the 'false alarm.' If so, that would be a heavy weight for those security personnel to bear alone. And they shouldn't, because it was a 'perfect storm' of error all along the line that resulted in this tragedy.

Kanishka air crash is so close to my heart. It was the first story I heard, instead of Cinderella or Snow White at the age of three. I wish those lapses never took place and the accused were convicted. Till date reading about the crash makes me so emotional, as an Indian. Condolences to the families affected.

The terrorists are crazy aren't they ? They bombed a flight without knowing that their own kinds of people are onboard!!(The Sikh pilots and passengers!!) Plus all those Hindus and Canadian Caucasians!!
