On October 6, 1976, a Cubana de Aviación, S.A. flight 455, a Douglas DC-8, departed Bridgetown, Barbados. Minutes after takeoff, a bomb exploded on board and the aircraft subsequently crashed into the sea, claiming 73 lives (25 crew and 48 passengers).

To date, Luis Posada Carriles, one of the authors of the terrorist act remains free and unconvicted of his actions, and wanted to face trial in Venezuela and Cuba. He continues to live in the United States, an embarassement to the Bush Administration for creating the image of a double-standard on the U.S.'s war on terror and it's claim to view states that sponsor terror and those who harbor terrorists in the same light.
