Premier John Horgan is remembering the 329 passengers and crew killed 36 years ago today when a bomb blew apart Air India Flight 192 over the Atlantic Ocean.
280 of those aboard were Canadian, many of them from BC, and the bombing remains the worst terrorist attack and mass murder in this country's history.
A statement from Horgan's office says we remember all Canadians whose lives have been disrupted by terrorism, including the four members of a family from London, Ontario, slain for their Muslim faith earlier this month.
Horgan says anyone, especially anyone with privilege, who has never been targeted for their religion, ethnicity, gender, sexuality or race ``has a responsibility to acknowledge these differences and work harder to protect and care for one another.''
