註釋On June 23, 1985, at 2:19 a.m. (EDT), a suitcase belonging to a Mr L. Singh exploded during baggage transfer at Narita Airport in Japan. The suitcase had arrived on a Canadian Pacific flight from Vancouver. Two baggage handlers were killed, four injured. Mr. L. Singh had not boarded the CP flight. Fifty-five minutes later, 110 miles off the southwest coast of Ireland, a bomb exploded in the forward baggage hold of Air India Flight 182, bound for Bombay, from Toronto and Montreal. A Mr M. Singh had persuaded officials to accept his bag on a flight from Vancouver to transfer to Air India 182 in Toronto. He did not board the flight. Three hundred and seven passengers and twenty-two crew members were killed. Eighty-four were children; two were infants. The death toll of three hundred and twenty-nine stands as the worst at-sea air crash of all time--back cover.
