1988: Remembering PAN AM 103

It was many years ago but the pain does not go away.   This is a summary of what happened on this day in 1988:    

Pan Am Flight 103 from London to New York explodes in midair over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew members aboard, as well as 11 Lockerbie residents on the ground. A bomb hidden inside an audio cassette player detonated in the cargo area when the plane was at an altitude of 31,000 feet. 

We later learned that Libya was behind the terrorist act.  In 2011, Qaddafi met justice for the death of those innocent people in 1988.

1988 and Pan Am 103

What a horrible day.   

Pan Am 103 was blown up over Scotland on this day in 1988.   It was a London to New York flight.

All 259 passengers were killed, including 35 students from Syracuse University returning home for Christmas.

Over the next years, Libya accepted responsibility but did not express remorse.
