Tonight 21 December in 1988 this 30 years at 19.03PM Pan Am Flight 103 plane crashed in Lockerbie, Scotland, an act of Radical Islamic Terrorism.
The result 243 passengers and 16 Flight Crew on the plane perished and 11 innocents from Lockerbie perished on the grounds in their houses this include the entire family of Jack and Rosalind Somerville and their children Paul and Lynsey, who perished as their house exploded in a direct hit from part of the Pan Am plane.
A friend email me the below documentary it is Lockerbie as it occur minute by minute from when the explosive device entered Pan Am Flight 103 at 17.00PM London Heathrow, the documentary is excellent in construction and also sensitive in the way it deals with this harrowing subject.
The duration of the documentary is 42 minutes and 33 seconds. On this night 30 years later RIP to all who perished in this terrible terrorist attack in the plane and also the inhabitants of Lockerbie who also perished on this night.
Thanks for the link Oosie. An event worth review to be sure.
However the two posts after yours exhibit how you crippled the topic with the "Islamic terrorism" song and dance, simply because you presume Moammar Ghaddafi was Muslim. Does that mean the IRA that Ghaddafi supplied weapons to were fomenting "Christian terrorism"? It must mean that --- by your own standard. After all if we're going to Composition-Fallacy whatever religion coincides with an act of terrorism, that's where you're left.
Of course, in the world of reality, the motives of both Ghaddafi and the IRA were political. Stop running away from that.
I post this OP to remember the night of December 21 1988, to remember all the innocents who perished that night 30 years ago I have no political comment if so I would post this OP in Politics and not General Discussion. It is correct that Pan Am Flight 103 was perpetrated by Libyans this I can not change and so you also can not change that you ogo do not like that Pan Am Flight 103 was perpetrated by Libyans who are Muslim and not Non Muslim and you want to deflect onto things different this Christian is unfortunate and Lockerbie had zero to do with the IRA and also I am not responsible for others posts posted in this thread by other members.
That's quite a word salad going nowhere.
Perhaps you'd like to explain how this act was NOT perpetrated by geopolitics and power hunger and acts of revenge for perceived past slights, but rather "Islam did it". After that please feel free to explain how the IRA worked the same types of violence out of the same political fanaticism and acts of revenge for perceived past slights and how "that's different".
In coherent English, bitte.
I well remember all the heightened security especially in Britain while the IRA was active. What I don't remember is anyone anywhere ever referring to it as "Christianic terrorism".
The IRA did not do Lockerbie ogo, this is not an IRA thread. In many ways ALL acts of terrorism are acts of revenge for something the perpetrators think needs revenged.
