About

Welcome to the website for the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103. This site was established as a tribute to our loved ones lost on the flight, as well as a resource for those seeking information on this act of terrorism.

Pan Am Flight 103 was brought down by a bomb on the evening of December 21, 1988. On that plane were our husbands, wives, parents, children, siblings and friends. In the aftermath of the tragedy, we came together to form Victims of Pan Am Flight 103.
