The Tragedy Of Flight 103: The Inside Story - Pan Am Bombing over Lockerbie made-for-TV movie 1990

HBO Movie about the examination of the events that led to the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. This movie is strictly for educational purposes to demonstrate historical contrast and similar circumstances regarding the future 9/11 attacks.

On December 21, 1988, Pan American Airways flight 103, a Boeing 747 carrying 259 people on a London-New York flight, was brought down by a bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all on board, plus 11 people on the ground. This film goes back several years before the bombing, starting with Pan Am's botched "Alert" safety program to boost public confidence. Then, the accidental downing of an Iranian airliner by a US Navy warship pushed an extremist group to prepare a counter-attack, with a bomb disguised as a radio cassette player... while "Alert" is not heeding to the numerous safety concerns. Written by Sergio Ortega
