Lockerbie: The 270 victims

A total of 270 people, including young children and students, died in the air and on the ground in the 1988 attack.

The list of Lockerbie victims who died on December 21, 1988, on Pan Am flight 103 included two infants who were only two months old at the time of the attack.

They were among over a dozen children, and a large number of college students going home from an overseas study-abroad trip.

According to victim organisations, the list of the 270 Lockerbie victims also includes musicians, professors, engineers, bond brokers, advertising executives, army sergeants, and diplomats; one puppeteer, a peace activist, a social worker, a dog handler, a nurse, a stamp dealer, an art historian, a chef, an hair stylist, and a pharmaceutical chemist, among many others not listed here.

But the deaths were not limited to the crew and passengers alone. As the plane crashed on to Lockerbie, Scotland, residents including children lost their lives, loved ones, and neighbours to the wreckage.

“Everybody who lost a close member of their family, in the Lockerbie atrocity, will remain deeply affected by it for the rest of their lives,” says Jim Swire, the father of victim Flora Swire.

Swire was interviewed as part of Al Jazeera’s documentary, Lockerbie: What really happened?. He is interested in investigating who was responsible for his daughter’s death aboard Pan Am 103 25 years ago.

“Part of the way you’re affected is you want to know, immediately, all about who did it, why they did it, why weren’t their loved ones protected,” he says.
