About this listen
On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 took off from London’s Heathrow Airport, bound for New York and Detroit, carrying 259 people—many of them heading home for the holidays. Just 38 minutes later, the plane exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing everyone on board and 11 people on the ground.
The bombing would become the deadliest terrorist attack on British soil and launch a decades-long international investigation. What began as a devastating midair explosion evolved into a massive criminal inquiry involving Libyan intelligence, sanctions, a controversial conviction, and an ongoing search for full accountability.
In this episode, host Kona Gallagher walks through the human tragedy, the forensics, and the political ripple effects of the Lockerbie bombing. From the first responders in Scotland to courtroom battles in Europe and the U.S., this case shaped the future of aviation security and international justice—and left behind hundreds of families still seeking answers.
