Message: [QUOTE="Fat tire 13, post: 4484804, member: 6171"] I did the semester abroad program in London in the early 2000s, and in one of my classes there was a field trip to Lockerbie It was both sad and surreal. We went to the field where the plane went down. We spoke to the local police who were faced with a situation that they would never expect to encounter in a million years. In many ways I felt bad for the local residents. It was a tiny town, and they certainly were uncomfortable with all the attention. However, they understood the importance and were gracious hosts. Edit - one other important part is 11 Lockerbie residents died from plane debris in a residential area. They had to both accept the tragedy of the bombing, and what happened on the ground. I wish the Lockerbie residents received a little more attention since they were victims too. [/QUOTE]
