From Wikipedia

The Kashmir Princess, or Air India Flight 300, was a chartered Lockheed L-749A Constellation Air India flight. On 11 April 1955, it was severely damaged mid-air by a bomb explosion and crashed into the South China Sea while en route from Bombay, India, and Hong Kong to Jakarta, Indonesia. Of the nineteen occupants, only three survived. The explosion was an assassination attempt targeting Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, who missed the flight either due to a medical emergency or, as one historian concluded, because he had prior knowledge. The Chinese government insisted that Hong Kong authorities investigate; they concluded that the Kuomintang were responsible for the bombing.
