It's strange to think there's a big section of the population who weren't alive at the time or are too young to remember - probably most folk under 35 - whilst for others it's as clear as the day Jack Kennedy or John Lennon were killed.
The world changed forever for the worse that night over Lockerbie. |

What shocked me most, was not only did the plane get blown up killing everyone on board, which was a terrorist statement but, the poor people on the ground got burnt to death too.... not sure why i feel that the airline was an ok target for the terrible terrorists. Maybe because in those days a lot of planes were taken as hostages , Germany, Africa Holland, lots got taken.But the family members on the ground in their houses really shocked me. I know all life is just as special, just that shocked the life out of me. RIP |

I remember that night very well walked back into the house with my mum and dad (after picking them up from the airport with my grandad) to my gran and sister in hysterics .... It was the plane my parents had flown back from Frankfurt on and had gotten off of in London  it hit my parents hard as they had gotten to know and helped out a young mom and her 3 month old baby who perished that night
God Bless the lost souls go e but never forgotten |

We were living in England at the time and passed it when we came up for Christmas, the place was still strewn with pieces of the aircraft and the fields full of soldiers and police, also the size of the crater the plane made was unbelievable it was only feet from the A74 and it was a realy eerie feeling knowing that hundreds of people died there just hours before. |

"We live closeby and remember the night very well.we heard the plane coming down but at the time we thought it was the RAF practising low flying."
I do hope you don't lose any local friends in the aftermath. |
