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: Pan Am 103 still hurts so many years later

It happened on this day in 1988:

"Pan Am Flight 103 from London to New York explodes in midair over Lockerbie, Scotland, an hour after departure. A bomb that had been hidden inside an audio cassette player detonated inside the cargo area when the plane was at an altitude of 31,000 feet. All 259 passengers, including 35 Syracuse University students returning home for the holidays, were killed in the explosion. In addition, 11 residents of Lockerbie were killed in the shower of airplane parts that unexpectedly fell from the sky."

It was a horrific act of terrorism.  

By the way, Syracuse University held a special 25th celebration in 2013.    As we mentioned above, 35 young students were killed by this act of terrorism.

We can not forget the innocent lives of PAN AM 103.

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.
