UNCOVER SEASON 2- BOMB ON BOARD: Transcripts | Listen

Exploding mid-air on July 8, 1965, Canadian Pacific Flight 21 plummeted into the woods in the B.C. Interior, killing all 52 people aboard. While police determined a bomb brought down the passenger plane — and four suspects were at the top of the list — no charges were laid.

In this CBC Podcasts co-production with The National, hosts Ian Hanomansing and Johanna Wagstaffe investigate one of the largest unsolved murders on Canadian soil.
