Reply to comment by 40mm_of_freedom in Lockerbie bombing suspect in US custody by Smithy2232

I live in the U.S. and someone I know died on that plane. She was coming home for Christmas.

I’m sorry to hear that. I imagine it shook you and was quite traumatic.

One of my earliest memories of watching the news was the coverage of the Lockerbie bombing.

It was a very long time ago and we weren't close but we went to school together for years. There is a memorial for her in the center of town. It was... surreal to realize someone I knew had died in such an infamous way. Send your loving thoughts to her family. I'm ok. <3

I was standing in line at Sadler Dining Hall when the news came over. I didn’t know people only because it was the end of my first semester. It cast a pall over the entire year.

Oh god. I’m so sorry. I know it was decades ago, but my sympathies.

I knew someone too. We went to junior high school together. My heart breaks for his family, all this news coming up again.

I'm sorry for your loss. My father was scheduled for the same flight but decided to postpone his departure by a week. It saved his life, and mine consequently.
