    I am deeply impressed by the interviews. Your interviewing teams(s) must have the most excellent skills. I applaud them. They obviously had a difficult job, interviewing the families and friends of the victims. Stirring up such deep traumatic feelings of hurt and loss maybe buried for 3 decades. Doc interviews can go horribly wrong, delaying or stopping a project. Banijay does a wonderful job!

      All 259 passengers and crew onboard Pan Am Flight 103 were murdered when a bomb was planted by a Libyan intelligence officer and 11 civilians on the ground were killed by falling debris.
      This was the deadliest terrorist attack to occur in the United Kingdom and a retaliation for the 1986 US bombing of Libya.

    I think all kinds of threats have to be taken seriously especially for air flights. They reported that the US Embassy in Finland had passed the threat info 2 weeks beforehand to the US Aviation authority but it was dismissed as hoax.
    Next, the British transportation sent a LETTER with details about a bomb concealed in a Toshiba radio cassette player to the Heathrow airport but the letter was recieved 3.5 weeks later. It's a matter of life and death and they sent/mailed a letter. Smh....

      @hlowrylong 2 місяці тому

      While I understand the frustration you indicate, there had been a large number of threats throughout that time period - as frankly there were so many threats near 9/11/01 also. So many threats would be levied, but nothing would happen, that airlines/FAA/world decisioning bodies decided to not disrupt every possible flight. It was a devastating choice … but the numbers of those killed by terrorists were, and still are, such a small percentage That it becomes justified.
      Thankfully technology caught up with terrorists, so it’s much harder to pass a bomb through luggage or people … (until the next thing that evildoers come up with to hurt people for their cause or belief…)… bad technology scares me …. 😬

      @@hlowrylong Yeah, exactly, and also back then security wasn’t so tight at the time and they permitted box cutters and pocket knives on board which the perpetrators possibly used to harm their victims on the planes, and the cockpit doors weren’t that strong either! Once the TSA was formed in November of 2001, nobody was able to try to sneak any such suspicious items through and now the government can intercept any threats through phones, text, social media and throw the perps behind bars, I also heard that pretty recently there was this idiot on a flight before it took off, he wanted to send a text to his friends as a joke that he was gonna to bomb the plane, he wasn’t serious and he never sent the text but yet the Feds still intercepted the text, and the dude who made the threat and they threw him in jail! And yeah back then nobody thought they could use civilian planes to crash into buildings, now with TSA there, I don’t see another 9/11 styled terrorist attack happening again hopefully but any other attack is inevitable at any day and any time unfortunately! Even active shootings in the US these days can be considered terrorist attacks, and yeah the government knew about another plot in the US back in the 90s before 9/11 and after the ‘93 Truck bombing at the Twin Towers, Apparently Ramzi Yousef and his uncle wanted to get some men together to carry out an attack worse than 9/11, they wanted to hijack 11 Us Bound planes out of Asia and target 11 landmarks and skyscrapers! That would’ve been worse and America would’ve went into martial law if that happened and America wouldve been a martial law society by now, it would’ve taken 10-15 years of rebuilt and that’s a plot nobody really talks about nowadays, the Us government intercepted the plot back then I think but they still didn’t take enough action to prevent a 9/11 styled attack, if they formed the TSA back then instead of November 2001 then 9/11 probably would’ve never happened!
