The premeditated bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in December 1988 is the worst mass murder in Scottish history. All 259 passengers and crew were killed, and 11 people died when the wreckage crashed in the town of Lockerbie. This lecture will discuss the oral history research project about the disaster, drawing on interviews with first responders, reconstructing the response to the atrocity, and interpreting the memories of those first on the scene.
