Pan Am Flight 830 was a Boeing 747-121, named "Clipper Ocean Rover", flying from Narita International Airport in Tokyo to Honolulu International Airport in Hawaii on August 11, 1982.

One hundred forty miles Northwest of Hawaii, at 36,000 feet, and with 274 people onboardFact|date=April 2007, a bomb placed under a seat cushion exploded, killing 16-year-old Toru Ozawa, a Japanese national. The blast also injured 15 other people (including the boy's parents) and caused damage to the floor and ceiling. The aircraft remained airborne and made an emergency landing in Honolulu. It was later put back in service by Pan American World Airways.

The bomb was allegedly placed by Mohammed Rashed, a Jordanian connected to the 15 May Organization. In 1988, he was arrested in Greece and was later convicted of murder. He was released in 1996 after serving a partial sentence of 8 years instead of 15. In 2006, he was convicted by a United States court to serve another 7 years.
