I remember too well when this hit the news. I don’t know whether it was true, but it was reported that a set of seats was hanging off a tree with bodies still strapped in. I will never be able to put that out of my mind. I can’t even imagine what people who were there went through. And I don’t know what punishment is great enough for people who would commit such unspeakable horror in the world.

Unfortunately there is some photographic evidence of such things, not that particular image, but similar. Be careful what you Google when looking for info. I am shocked by what they printed in the Newspaper. I can't unsee it. I wasn't expecting to come across it. I can't imagine how difficult it was for the hard workers on the ground to process.

The women of Lockerbie baked and set up a tea station for the workers. They said in interviews that some of the men didn't want to eat a meal, they needed a cup of tea and to just sit undisturbed and try and process what they saw when they came back from working. They all did such important jobs, but I have no words for how heartbreaking it must have been and how appreciated it was.
