My cousin and close friend died on this flight. They found his body still strapped into his chair stuck in a tree. I will never forget the day I heard the news. This man had two kids, and a wife, murdered needlessly by Islamic animals. One of the things that most people don't realize is that the remaining family members suffer long after and sometimes forever, after an untimely passing like this. It's easier for the person that dies, than it is for the remaining family members usually.

Abdel Baset al-Megrahi died at home after his health quickly deteriorated. "He has been suffering from cancer for a long time and God choose him," Khalid al-Magrahi told NBC.

"He was too sick to utter anything on his death bed," his brother Abdel Hakim told Reuters. "Just because Abdel Baset is dead doesn't mean the past is now erased. We will always tell the world that my brother was innocent.''
