In the evening of December 21, 1988 flight Pan Am 103 exploded and pieces of the plane fell onto the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 259 people on the plane and 11 people on the ground.   A plane crash is a nightmare of your worst expectations coming true...we all fear crashing with our planes and the fear is both plausible and could happen to all of us at any time - and we cannot do a thing to rescue ourselves. That is why the deaths of 270 people is such terrible news: it could have been us or our families. We extend our deepest and most profound sympathy to the families and friends of victims of this horrible tragedy.   "Four hundred parents lost a child, 46 parents lost their only child, 65 women were widowed, 11 men lost their wives, 140 people lost a parent, seven lost both parents.... They are also victims of the Lockerbie bombing."   —Colin Boyd Chief prosecutor, Lockerbie Bombing Trial   After the crash, personal belongings scattered far and wide across the rolling southern Scottish countryside were painstakingly identified, cleaned, and returned to bereaved families. Deep and lasting friendships were made.

It landed on the north of a churchyard at Tundergarth, just outside Lockerbie Town.   Comment: The explosion destroyed several houses and made a giant crater at the touchdown site right in the middle of Lockerbie.   Comment: Fuselage three-dimensional reconstruction.
