Lockerbie Bombing - BBC Breakfast Time

[aeromaximon]

When all this was going I was a baby so I was unaware of all this until I got older and my mother told me about it.

[aeromaximon]

So much destruction and tragedy. And to think this all happened a few days b4 Christmas, and a few months after the Seoul Olympics? What a tragic way to end the year. I can only imagine what a sad Christmas a lot of families must have had back then.

[BarnacleGooseInvalid]

1998? 1988. 

[harrychown1989]

The Scots loved this. If the plane had crashed 10 miles further south or about 2 minutes sooner, this would have been a British disaster, instead it became Scottish who jumped on a bit of world publicity. If it crashed 10 miles further south in England, you wouldn't have heard a mention of the name "England" at all.

[farcry2isthebest]

@harrychown1989 what are you going on about

[harrychown1989]

@farcry2isthebest Read it.

[borofalcon101]

@harrychown1989 Don't be an idiot all your life

[yorkshire13579]

Before any idiot goes spouting off about Megrahi and how 'he did it', may I suggest they take the time to read about IRAN AIR FLIGHT 655. The Scots knew Megrahi was innocent, and he was just a pawn to cover for the murder of 300 people by the US Navy, which to this day has never apologised, yet has awarded the people responsible for the crime with medals and other military honours. Until you stop being a media whore, you've no right to talk about what's going on in the world. We Westerners suck.

[Kylesesh]

what were the last words of the captain of the locerbie flight... Oh f*** it its christmas lets hit the town XD

[davedavid86]

The biggest tragedy of this is the Americans and NATO not grasping that this was really only the beginning of a new wave of terror that culminated in the death of 3,000 innocent people less than 13 years later in New York, Washington & Pennsylvania. Gaddafi is no worse than Saddam & Osama and the Americans should have struck hard at his regime of terror once it was clear Libya ordered the Lockerbie bombing. The war on terror started at least 10 years late.

[Hperman09]

I thought that the Libyan civili war was not worth it but after seeing this, this motherfucker Kaddafi will pay for his crimes and for what he's done.

[cmferreira]

It is time Kaddafi pay for it - The responsible for this tragedy

[minakomel]

I don't know but BBC's breakfast time news theme seems unfitting with the lockerbie footage

[Kaynas1988]

I was too young to remember this and sorry if what i put offended anyone

[Coruscant98]

Such hypocrisy, Libya gave explosives to the IRA to kill British paratroopers in N.I., and we release Megrahi?

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@Coruscant98 - The guy didnt blow up the plane. You should read up and research rather than believe the lies you are told. The witnesses (both brothers) were paid 1.5 million each and given US citizenship if they gave evidence. Somebody had to take the blame and sadly and innocent guy went down for it. I will upload a video when i finish it to show you why he was released. Corruption all round!

[Icarusdecending82]

@NWOConspiracyGroup you know you really paint everyone a real picture of idiocy when you say things like this.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@Icarusdecending82 - Oh really? May I suggest you watch a video I have uploaded on my page titled "The British Banking Conspiracy Part 1". I think the evidence in it from reputable media sources speak for themselves. You should learn the facts from official sources before you post such comments.

[Icarusdecending82]

@NWOConspiracyGroup So do you still think the British Banks are behind the Lockerbie bombing or have you not been paying attention?

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@Icarusdecending82 - I dont think you have been paying attention. Do you think the violence that started in Egypt was random? It was caused by 4 sources. 1 the Banks who starved the countries in protest of money causing a crash. 2 tue USA destabilised Egypt and had pre planned this 3 years ago. 3 The British SAS are now in Libya freeing Brits but also involved in covert missions. This occurs after BP gained exclusive access to Libyas oil fields and after RBS was bailed out by Libya

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@Icarusdecending82 - Google "Egypt protests: America's secret backing for rebel leaders behind uprising".

Have a read, I think you will find it interesting. Watch the pattern. America, Britain and Israel working together to conquor the oil in the Middle East. They are gunning for Iran to stop the nuclear program, put in a puppet of their choice in power and to take control of the countries oil. As for the media? You will find as a fact, not anti-semetic that Jews control the news.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@Icarusdecending82 - Did you watch the video I made because it clearly demonstrates Libya did not blow up the plane. The CIA or Secret Agents did it

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@Icarusdecending82 - Did you watch the video I made because it clearly demonstrates Libya did not blow up the plane. The CIA or Secret Agents did it. I said the video was called the British Banking Conspiracy - I didnt say the banks blew up the plane

[eArtrash]

@NWOConspiracyGroup Here mate, please take your conspiracy theories elsewhere. The world knows Libya or more accurately- Gaddafi was responsible. He should be burnt alive and thrown from 30,000 feet to see how he likes it.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@eArtrash - First off I am not your mate. 2nd it is a FACT in MAJOR NEWS and COURT PAPERS that CCTV footage of the REAL BOMBER was caught by German intelligence and it was not Al Megrahi. Shows how blind sighted and close minded your are. This is the whole reason why I put the truth with a snapshot of the press papers in the video so people like you are silence with FACTS

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup You mean the CCTV footage, from CCTVs put there by big brother government who are in bed with the Rothschilds to watch us. Court papers? you mean you believe anything that appears a court?? The courts are run by the Illumini. GERMAN INTELLEGENCE, you believe them???? its gets worse!!!

You need to stop picking and choosing your evidence mate. You can't have the defendents, helping with the prosectution!!!

Wish the NWO would keep the idiots of the net, useless bastards.

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup Hello MATE. lol

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus Not only was Mr On'Neil caught on CCTV, there is an audio tape of the discussion with someone in the CIA. This evidence is why they let Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, not to mention a massive bail out of British banks. You can rant and curse all you want. Clearly you have not read up on the subject or read the official suppressed court papers but you feel you have the need to insult those who have researched the topic in depth.

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup I have also researched the subject, as i was quite near when it all happened mate. They researching some evidence that does NOT support your mindset. What tape, I could make one if you like.

Believe it or not, if it wasnt for extreme security, your ass would be meat years ago courtesy of the thousands who would not hesitate to kill a Westerner.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus - If you HAD done any research on the subject then you would have been aware in the court papers in the USA and Scotland of the CCTV tape. Also covered by the press. Google "Lost CCTV tape 'reveals true Lockerbie bomber' - Daily Express"

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup ... get. a job instead of reading shit, and nmaybe you would be happier in a time of human history when you are truely privalaged to be born.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus - 17 years as an IT Manager and well paid too so dont tell me about getting a job you uneducated low life. The fact that you come here blabbing nonsense without providing ANY evidence from offical sources or any source to back up your rants say's it all. As a diversion you result to insults and childish comments. You are only making yourself look very silly here. I am happy to have a discussion with an intelligent person who can make constructive critisms. Good day to you.

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup Do you have a Girlfriend?

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup ... And thats where you go wrong. I worked for a Scottish university, I was then at university, I then did stuff for metal health. I read anything going if it is factual. Your mindset is perplexing. IT is geekland, and i think your are over self important. You area poor judge of human nature, and Iam not sure about why you hate govenments so much, perhaps you are fustrated and blame the intangible for it mate. Try staying off the computer.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus - good grief you are so darn childish. I don't care what you studied or where you work, you raised it by saying "get a job". The debate is not about qualifications or jobs so why did you deviate? The subject is about who blew up flight 103. If you cannot have a grown up discussion without the silly name calling or random deviations to other subjects to prove "how smart you think you are?" then clear off. I will no longer respond to your childish behavior. Good day to you.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus - IT geekland? yet you sit at a computer using it daily, using mobile technology etc... Then have the audacity to mock people who maintain and upgrade such systems? I don't think you paid much attention during your "metal health" studies. Poor judgement? I did not judge anyone, you did. Re-read your comments which fueled this debate. I did not claim to be over self important, you did. Re-read your comment "get a job". Good day to you.

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup Bill Gates now are you?? lol. Are you are trying to gain credibility by aligning yourself with the inovotors in the miniturisation of electronics??lol

You would love to suck people into your dark unhappy world by engaging them in 'intellegent conversations'

I took a look at your channel, oh dear, all the usual bizarre crap.

Check out the links to 'the phycology of conspiracies', etc, THEN the witch scene in 'Pythons, Holy Grail', THEN post an ad in the personals.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus - have a nice life. It is pretty obvious you have not been to any university based on your spelling and childish behaviour. Good day to you.

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup Its funny how the 'conspiracy' replies come in so quick. Well no suprise really.

You do spend an awful lot of your life in the twilight zone of the net. You clear off, you have your own sites.

Go find yourself a Unicorn.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus - Stop messaging me. I don't really care what you think. What you think and the FACTS presented in court papers, the media and video evidence out shines your arrogance and immature behavior towards others. Rather than back up your claims with facts, you keep resulting to name calling and insults. Then you have the cheek to lie about your education levels which clearly cannot be the case based on your spelling and childish behavior. PS, this is not your video or your site. BYE BYE.

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup Oh you do care. Send your finding to Dr Jim Squire, he lost his daughter, and he isn't going to rest until he knows that there are who and why 'they', did it.

Also i do think that you should acknowledge the time and effort of those who make flying in the oil age so safe, considering the very easy target that aircraft present for the thousands who would wish to blow us in the west to bits. apologies for the spelling; not my strong point, science/engineering etc is.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus - So if you cared as you claim you do, you would want to see justice right? Justice means the truth, a full investigation without cover ups, lies or false paid CIA witnesses to frame others. This has been spoken of by highly educated lawyers with degrees, UN scientists, explosive experts all who agree that Magrahi did not blow up the plane. So I will not argue with you because experts who have done their research and who are highly qualified are all in agreement on the matter.

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@mcwolfus - Im not here to argue or trade insults but to converse and share views. We should respect each other that way even if we don't agree. All I am asking you to do is not just listen to the lies "sexed up" by the media but check out the facts that the media deliberately left out about Megrahi and the CIA baggage handler at Frankfurt. They did this to paint Libya (not one man) but the entire country as a terrorist state ready for invasion as we can see now on the news.

[CrashAreYouReady]

@NWOConspiracyGroup Search "Petition 1370" for the Truth about Lockerbie. Megrahi WAS NOT EVEN ON MALTA the day the Lockerbie bombing suspect was identified. The CIA paid "witnesses $Millions TO LIE. Search Victor Ostrovsky's book THE OTHER SIDE OF DECEPTION for the Truth about the Berlin Disco. Bombing.

[mcwolfus]

@eArtrash Agreed. I seen this daft c..t elsewhere.

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup Fuck of somewhere else MATE.

[mcwolfus]

@NWOConspiracyGroup The internet is a forum for tits like youreslf mate. I would close it down and make you friendless again,lol

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

@Coruscant98 - As promised I have finished and uploaded a video titled "The British banking Conspiracy part 1" which exposes the truth about the Lockerbie Bombing.

[warriorprince1010]

The UK, Scottish and US governments got mehragi rel;eased and got the Libyan oil before China did.

[HitMeQuick]

Fuck me what a build up. I thought they were going to wheel out the full BBC orchestra

[phoenixbornagain]

Familys of the those killed should force their way on to every talk shhow and street side news broadcast and demand obama be taken out of office

[angels77100]

It's 1988 not 1999 you fucking muppet.

[bcm409]

its 1988 - not 98 man

[brandstifter68]

You should all read Private Eye. This guy is so clearly innocent - his imprsisonment was one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in history. Which may explain why the CIA paid people to act as witnesses at the trial, not to mention overlooking the fact that a group of Syrians had been caught breaking into the airport that very morning!

[scottishwhisper]

and he definetly shouldnt of had a hero's welcome, also libya admitted it was there mistake of the bomb and even offered money to the families....what does that tell you.

[scottishwhisper]

i dont agree with the releasal of the guy, i htink another case should of been held. but it was'nt only the scots who released him, it was britains decision, the scots decision goes through the british parliament too, and gordon brown didnt go against it he just sat there and let it happen. there was no proper evidence against him, and the guy who had stated he had seen the accused had seen a picture of him in a magazine, making the evidence compromised.just my opinion.

[1985322]

fucking joke what message does it send to future terrorists. to many do gooders stupid prick

[boro4lifejd]

See what the fuck happens when you let the scotish make their own decisions ? They fucking cause a world outrage. Fucking useless cunts. And dont get me started with that one eyed scotish idiot called Gordon Brown !!!

[cietod88]

You should probably go look at the evidence against him before you start mouthing off. Even if he did do it, they were right to let him go. He's dying. Leaving him to die in jail would be like a form of torture. The only message it sends out is that the Scots were willing to "be the bigger men". And as for them wanting to make their own decisions, can you blame them when an immature bigot from their own union insults them all?? Grow up.

[boro4lifejd]

Yh and tourture was what he deserved, you grow up. He killed hundreds of people. I bet you would feel diffrent if a member of your family would have died in this. if it comes out as he didnt do it in the futre, i will apolgise for it, but he got found guilty and that is what he is untill we find out.

[cietod88]

Okay you're just after saying that he should have been tortured until it's proven that he's not guilty. That's just stupid. You think your apology would be worth anything to him when he's on his death bed and then he's found not guilty then?! I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty. The point is that they were right to release a dying man. His return home shouldn't have been so publicly celebrated but the Scots did the right thing. His death in prison isn't going to bring the victims back.

[boro4lifejd]

Yh but what if it then gets proven that it was a 100% certain that he did it ?

Im not going to say that you opnion on it is the wrong one but the thing i cant see is why would you let a man who killed hundreds of people go free ? For every person who he killed he did 2 weeks in prison for it. How is that right ?

[saps1977]

Boro4lifejd - the Scots taught the world a lesson in justice and humanity. Learn from it.

[boro4lifejd]

Mybe thats the one thing that i agree with, that and they stood up against America, but i still dont know why they realised him when he killed that many people. Mybe im wrong

[saps1977]

I understand your frustration, boro4 lifejd. I have many doubts as to whether this man's guilt was proven, but even if he was guilty, I think this was the proper decision,.

[boro4lifejd]

I guess the thing that has made me mad was the heros welcome he got when he returned

[stuzaza]

well said friend

[iamthedudenow]

@saps1977

Not to be controversial, but what was human about what this man did to 240 odd innocent people, who could not go back and die peacefully with their families ?

[CrashAreYouReady]

@saps1977 Yes, the "trial" of Megrahi, who WAS NOT EVEN ON THE ISLAND OF MALTA the day the Lockerbie Bombing Suspect was identified, had NO JURY, NO DUE PROCESS, & the CIA paid "witnesses" millions to LIE. That is why the top legal scholars in Scotland supported Petition 1370. Youtube search "Petition 1370"

[Supaduck0]

fuck the bombers, but also fuck the american hypocrites

[robbie961]

i totally agree with "roac7777" how can anyone have compassion for someone who did that to so many ppl... i think the officials should put them self in the shoes of the families of the victims.

[roac7777]

Trust the Socialists to free a mass murderer. This killer did not show any compassion when he and others planted the bomb that killed over 270 people.

All this shit about compassionate grounds is a macabre farce. I bet all the do gooders are having a right old laugh.

[CraigRoebuck]

you think we all agree with him being let go ????!!!!! Scots died too, its not asif we had a public fucking vote. Some of us want revenge.

[blrenx]

Local resident Bunty Galloway a

A boy was lying at the bottom of the steps on to the road. A young laddie with brown socks and blue trousers on. Later that evening my son-in-law asked for a blanket to cover him. I didn't know he was dead. I gave him a lamb's wool traveling rug thinking I'd keep him warm. Two more girls were lying dead across the road, one of them bent over garden railings. It was just as though they were sleeping. The boy lay at the bottom of my stairs for days.

[nickidee15]

Is the Lockerbie bomber really guilty?

"The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission announced a "miscarriage of justice may have occurred"."

"Dr Swire said: "I went into that court in Holland thinking I was going to see the trial of those who were responsible for the murder of my daughter. I came out of it thinking he had been framed."

American news is only telling you half the story if u care somuch then investigate it. We let an innocent and dying man free not that ur news says that

[pfft69r]

This just proves to me that allmost all americans are fucking retarded... I didnt even give you fags a capitol a.

[pfft69r]

What the fuck is wrong with you look deeper......think..........

[amareto35]

Armyscout1979, I never knew someone dumb like you are exited. I knew most of your country are dumb, but not to this extend. Bush is responsible of bringing Libya back to International community. Libya paid circumastantial compansation to US and UK government, close to 3 billion dollars. Condaleesa Rice recieved gifts from Gadafi himself (250000) worth of jewelery. It was not a secret, it was on the news all of the world except "FOX".Anglo-Saxon men would sell you his wife if you pay him.

[JHJennings]

Early evidence made a compelling case that a Syrian terrorist group was funded by Iran to carry out the bombing. In July 1988 a U.S. warship (Vincennes) had shot down an Iranian airliner, in error. Iran did not accept that it was an unintentional error and vowed revenge. -- The theory is that Iran funded the Lockerbie bombing but indicting Iran for Lockerbie was too risky. So Libya "took the fall" for Iran. If true, Magrahi would be NOT guilty. Many in the UK believe this is what happened.

[jgv62]

uk is a joke

[nickidee15]

He is inicent and im sorry but you government is feeding u lies. Please just beleive me. you will understand one day/

[JHJennings]

Compassion for a man who is bursting with pride over the success of his crime? MADNESS!

[pfft69r]

You think it was just him?

[Armyscout1979]

you think libyia would be harboring released terrorists if Bush was in office? Obama is a joke, the only thing he has done is call cops idiots for doing their job, offer sympathy to the family of a childmolester singer, and apologize to the muslim world for killing terrorists

[fileclear]

so your saying muslim world is terrorist!!

can i say the same to the USA people

[pfft69r]

yes USA is the terriorst look at what there doing. Americans cant accept differnt cultures

[fileclear]

if u think thats wrog then why you think all muslims are the same when bush tool over iraq we didnt say all amricans are the same

[DxsPro]

so the USA should goto libya and fuck them up? And then what? You think the middle east wouldnt want revenge.. dont they already for iraq, afghanistan etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.. Someone has to have the balls to end the cycle

[SeeingStars1993]

I can't believe they let him out on "compassionate grounds" when he killed hundreds of people and he wasn't compassionate. He only served 7 years - he should have rotted in that prison until he died!

[phonicsfan1]

our country is a fucking joke and what must the rest of the world think about the release of this cunt who should off have been left to diein Greenock prison.

innocent people lost there lifes but this bastard gets freedom.

[charanjit1974]

this country is a fucking joke...bullshit here.the law is fucking stuipid

[fileclear]

do you have enough evidence to say he is criminal

[HardStyle106GTi]

the cunts gettin out today was jus on the news! think he should die in jail.. but hes off home.... on a plane! dickhead

[IcannotBelieveYou]

it wasn't 1998... idiot.

[rtk316ytshooter94]

If I'm honest the 80s had a lot of bad times. Heysel Disaster, Lockerbie, Kegworth (only 3 weeks after Lockerbie), Hillsbrough etc, etc.

[chookter1]

Chernobyl

[rtk316ytshooter94]

I knew I was missing one. I can't remember if there was a space disaster as well in the 80s. I think it was the Challenger disaster, not sure that may have been the one a couple of years ago. But there was an space disaster in the 70s or 80s.

[chookter1]

1986 - Challenger

[nickidee15]

this newsreader has like no emotion . i mean i know news readers are like that but c'mon !

[neild89]

I liv near where th wing actualy landed.

[woodster1965]

My wife (who i didnt know at the time) was on her way to Aberdeen that night and passed thru Lockerbie roughly 15 mins before the disaster happened

[UK31337]

A girl in my year at school's dad was one of the Police officers on the scene of the disaster. He was literally picking up body parts and was on anti-depressants for years afterwards.

[LANbritain]

my mom was a night shift nurse between 1986-1988, she finished that day and tragedy striked, her good friend and head of the emergancy ward at st. georges hospital died of a heart attack during the night.

and to make it worse, she came home that morning turned on the tv and saw that

talk about a merry xmas

[LittleStarr182]

i live just a few miles south of Lockerbie.

its horrible to think how something like this can happen so close to home.

its scary.

we're doing 'The Women Of Lockerbie' in drama and i didnt really know much on it. just that it was a plane bombing in lockerbie.

but i'd like to point out if they thought it was a meltdown at Chapelcross neuclear power station it would have sounded a siren.

its just crazy.

[notitbros]

It's fun to wake up, isn't it? ... realizing how much of the world is bullied by assholes in the backdrop. 9/11 wasn't the beginning - it was the beginning of their exposing themselves. Ha!

[scottishcreamthe1st]

very good way to say it man!

they got busted!

[weespud212008]

you mea 1988

[scottishcreamthe1st]

very very interesting!

it turned out that in 2005 a Scottish police officer said the CIA had faked evidence in this case, another 911?

[nameofthepen]

Or, Scotty, perhaps taking out a someone with a "big mouth" or a "resistance to the program"?

Either way, a planeful or buildingful of innocent people = totally acceptable "collateral damage" to these mental maniacs.

I remember Joe Craine telling me quite some ago that for this reason, he never flies.

[jupiterjjrm]

Basically they wanted to make a Devil-Ugly-As-They-Come out of Gaddafi, but then they thought, "Oh wait!, let's get Saddam, he's got a country with a view!"

[jupiterjjrm]

YES!! The MI-5 wanted to blame it on Gaddafi. It was Annie Machon who confirmed your suspicions (conferences, and in her book SPIES, LIES AND WHISTLEBLOWERS).

[PollenB]

4 CIA Heroin Couriers on Board on their way back from Afghanistan apparently!

[scottishcreamthe1st]

"Prime Ministers Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair have consistently opposed the independent inquiry of the Lockerbie bombing so much desired by the families of the victims."

[PollenB]

A "Ludicrous Diversion" no doubt. The bomb was put on board in London, I figure it went off kinda early, it was supposed to go off over the Atlantic.

[scottishcreamthe1st]

lol @ "Ludicrous Diversion" that's the currency these people deal in it seems!

[pogo14022002]

Interesting

[swaddon1903]

It was actually 1988, not 1998 that it happened.

[scottishcreamthe1st]

it was actually the CIA who did it too..

equally as important as the date mistake ..lol
