Real Estate listings near Litton Industries bombing

In October, 1982, three members of the Direct Action "urban guerrilla" group acted upon "their wish to end the arms race" and filled a stolen pick-up truck with 550 kg of dynamite and drove from Vancouver to Toronto, planting the bomb outside Litton Industries, a manufacturer of American cruise missile components many feared would increase the risk of nuclear war. Although the militants had phoned to evacuate the building, the bomb was accidentally detonated several minutes before its announced deadline, injuring several bomb squad police officers and civilians in the vicinity.
