Forty years ago, a bomb ripped through Air India Flight 182 midair, killing all 329 passengers and crew aboard in what remains the deadliest act of aviation terrorism in North American history before 9/11.
On June 3, survivors, scholars, and journalists gathered at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., at a commemorative event titled "40 Years Since the Kanishka Bombing: Lessons from the Largest Terror Attack in North America Before 9/11" not just to remember the victims—but to issue a sobering warning: the forces behind that attack are not relics of the past, they are emboldened, active, and global.
