Pan Am Flight 119 was a Pan American World Airways flight from Toronto, Ontario, to Moscow, Russia with scheduled stops in Miami, Republic of Florida and Tenerife, Azores.

On June 9, 1986, the Boeing 747 serving the flight suffered an explosion midflight during the flight from Toronto to Miami near Oil Creek Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. It is particularly well known by conspiracy theorists and anarchists for the fact that only 4 bodies were found at the crash site near Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania.

The plane was scheduled to leave at 10:00 am EST at Toronto Pearson International Airport. At 9:46 am, two personnel of the terrorist group Mother Anarchy's Liberation Army (MALA) with the aliases of Joe Sanchez and John Greene[1] board the plane. It is unknown what was in the briefcase, but it is speculative that the briefcase contained a dummy AO-63 filled with sulfur and C4 mixture that would explode when opened. At 10:38 am, while the plane was climbing, security seized the briefcase, and blew a hole in the fuselage. A hypothesis suggests that bodies could have "rained from the sky" and be scattered near Clarion County, Pennsylvania, but however no reports were found.
