00:18:33I don't know. They said they were crash investigators or something.

00:18:38They got here offy quick.

00:18:42Straight out!

00:19:09Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada

00:19:18Hello. Jim Swire speaking.

00:19:20Good evening, sir. I'm calling from Pan Am.

00:19:22Finally.

00:19:24We have confirmation for you.

00:19:26The passenger list has been checked and verified.

00:19:30Flora McDonald Margaret Swire

00:19:32was a passenger on Pan Am flight 103.

00:19:37I'm afraid there are no survivors.

00:19:41Are you sure?

00:19:43Are you completely sure?

00:19:46Who gave you this information?

00:19:51Oh, my God.

00:19:53Can you recheck, please?

00:19:55No!

00:19:59Yes, I would like you to do that now.

00:20:01No!

00:20:03No!

00:20:04No!

00:20:46Sous-titrage FR ?

00:21:20The small, quiet town of Lockaby

00:21:27is waking up this morning to the sheer, unmitigated horror of Britain's worst-ever air crash.

00:21:39259 people were on board Pan Am flight 103 when it exploded over the Scottish town.

00:21:48Hello?

00:21:51Is anyone home?

00:21:54The search for survivors has so far proved unsuccessful.

00:22:04But we still do not know how many people on the ground have been killed.

00:22:10The scale of this disaster is unmatched.

00:22:13Unmatched

00:22:42Unmatched

00:22:43Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada

00:23:25C'est parti.

00:23:43In a matter of seconds, the community was ripped by explosions and fires.

00:23:49An earthquake, some residents thought...

00:23:50As the news reached, John F. Kennedy Airport so did a stream of relatives, discovering the full horror that awaited

00:23:56them.

00:23:56Among the passengers were 38 students from Syracuse University in New York.

00:24:00Christmas is a special time for the young, for those who carry the twin promises of hopes and dreams.

00:24:06A giant aircraft with its holiday travelers apparently crashed directly into a gas station.

00:24:12Fireball rose hundreds of feet into the air.

00:24:14Four days after the disaster, the area of search has been extended yet again.

00:24:18There was no indication that there were any problems, there was no contact from the captain.

00:24:21They'll be looking at two theories.

00:24:23One, that the crash was caused by a structural fault.

00:24:25The other, that a terrorist bomb had been planted on board.

00:24:28Intelligent sources believe it to have been a revenge attack by Iran

00:24:31for the American downing of an Iranian airhouse in July, in which 290 people lost their lives.

00:24:37The Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, will today attend a memorial service in Lockerbie,

00:24:42where she will later meet the families of the victims of Flight 103.

00:24:54I, uh, lost my dear husband, Peter.

00:25:03I'm so sorry.

00:25:06Ladies and gentlemen, the Prime Minister, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher,

00:25:11and the Transport Secretary, Mr. Paul Channing.

00:25:22I'm so sorry.

00:25:29Paul Channing, Transport Secretary.

00:25:32Dr. Jim Swire.

00:25:33This is my wife, Jane.

00:25:36Mrs. Swire.

00:25:39Do I know you?

00:25:41I was the year below you at Eton.

00:25:43Oh, yes, of course, yes.

00:25:45Swire, yes.

00:25:48Who was it you lost?

00:25:50Uh, our daughter, Flora.

00:25:53My sincere condolences to you both, and let me assure you,

00:25:56we are working round the clock to bring the perpetrators of this heinous act to justice.

00:26:01They say in the press it may have been Iran.

00:26:03Is that true, revenge attack?

00:26:04I'm afraid I can't comment on that, though, uh, knowing their track record.

00:26:14Minister, our daughter's body is still here in Largerby.

00:26:17We were informed by letter a week ago that we weren't allowed to see her, but we don't know why.

00:26:22Well, I'm sorry.

00:26:23I can't do anything about that.

00:26:25It is the decision of the Lord Advocate of Scotland.

00:26:31Though if there is anything I can do further down the line,

00:26:34don't hesitate to get in touch with my office.

00:27:04Monty Guthrie.

00:27:06Jim Swire.

00:27:08Ah, full disclosure, I'm a journalist, but don't worry, I'm not here to intrude on your grief.

00:27:13Of course you are, if you're any journalist worth his salt.

00:27:20My daughter's body is lying in this town's ice rink right now.

00:27:25Town this size, where else could they put their bodies?

00:27:28They bring us here to sing hymns and listen to sermons,

00:27:30and we're expected to leave without even saying goodbye.

00:27:32Why? It's inhumane.

00:27:36It was a psychiatrist's recommendation.

00:27:39You advised the Lord Advocate against letting any of you see the bodies.

00:27:43You thought it'd be too traumatic.

00:27:46It should be our choice.

00:27:49Your doctor, Jim Swire.

00:27:55I've seen doctors going in and out of that ice rink constantly.

00:27:59If you want to see your daughter, I know what I'd do.

00:28:03And do you think I'll go on here?

00:28:13I'm so sorry to hear that.

00:28:17I'm going to see Flora.

00:28:19But they said we couldn't.

00:28:20I know, I don't care.

00:28:22I can get us in if you want to.

00:28:27No, I can't.

00:28:30Please, Jim, don't go.

00:28:31Stay with us.

00:28:38I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,

00:29:01I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,

00:30:15I'm Jim Swire. I'm a GP.

00:30:18My family and I have driven up from Bromsgrove.

00:30:20Took six hours.

00:30:21I'm sorry. I'm under strict orders not to let anyone in.

00:30:30I want to see my daughter.

00:46:06...pour his initiative in approaching Channon for a meeting.

00:46:10It wasn't me who got him sacked, I promise you.

00:46:13Either way, a question I'd like to start with is,

00:46:17if Channon knows, if the detectives on the investigation know,

00:46:22why don't they make the names public?

00:46:24Well, my guess is they're still gathering evidence

00:46:27and Channon spoke out of turn.

00:46:29Could be he was grandstanding to those journalists.

00:46:33But why all so secretive?

00:46:35Well, probably because it involves Iran and Syria,

00:46:39Palestinian terrorists, they need to tread carefully, build their case.

00:46:43Seven months since the crash and we're still all in the dark about why or how.

00:46:46And these warnings you've told us about, Jim,

00:46:49I mean, why has no one explained them?

00:46:53I've written several times to the new transport secretary,

00:46:56Cecil Parkinson, but so far I've had nothing back.

00:46:58Except we will reply in due course.

00:47:01Maybe he's trying to keep his job.

00:47:09I have had one idea.

00:47:19Please forgive the quality.

00:47:20I'm not the most adept with a photocopy of...

00:47:28And this is another plane crash?

00:47:32In June 1972, BEA flight 548 came down near Staines.

00:47:40118 people died.

00:47:43One day after it happened,

00:47:46the Conservative government ordered an independent inquiry into the crash

00:47:50to find out how it happened and to make sure it never happened again.

00:48:00So, a criminal investigation will seek to find out who planted that bomb.

00:48:06But what we should be asking is how it happened.

00:48:10How did a bomb get through airport security and onto flight 103?

00:48:14Were mistakes made?

00:48:16Were threat warnings ignored?

00:48:18Why is there so much secrecy around this?

00:48:22We have a right to know.

00:48:25And if the Staines crash merited an inquiry, then so does Lockerbie.

00:48:32Thank you, Jim.

00:48:34I-I think we're all agreed on that.

00:48:37Now, next on the agenda,

00:48:40we were going to appoint a spokesperson for the group.

00:48:44Does anyone have any suggestions?

00:48:48Hmm.

00:49:04What?

00:49:06I have to look smart?

00:49:08You're going on the radio, Jim.

00:49:11With me, I have Dr Jim Swire,

00:49:14spokesman for the UK Families, flight 103.

00:49:16Now, you're currently lobbying for an inquiry, is that right?

00:49:20That is correct, Jonathan.

00:49:22We're calling for an across the board.

00:49:23Independent inquiry to look into the response

00:49:26of the Department of Transport and the British government

00:49:28to the warning they received from the German police.

00:49:31We want to know why it wasn't acted upon.

00:49:34Who knew what and when.

00:49:36Any questions are still being asked

00:49:37about the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103?

00:49:40Was the official investigation obstructed?

00:49:42Has there been a cover-up?

00:49:43The Transport Department says it can't confirm a news report

00:49:46quoting it that baggage on Pan Am 103 from Frankfurt

00:49:50was not screened again at London.

00:49:52Whoever was behind this surely cannot believe their luck,

00:49:54how easy it was for their bomb

00:49:55to be loaded onto a commercial flight

00:49:57and blow it up, causing hundreds of deaths.

00:50:00That is why we're pushing for this inquiry.

00:50:02They were pushing very hard for a public inquiry.

00:50:04I said to them that we didn't rule that out,

00:50:06but our main concern was the criminal investigation.

00:50:09Mr. Swire, I'm sorry to say

00:50:11that Mr. Parkinson is sitting late in Parliament tonight.

00:50:14The inquiry that Dr. Swire is asking for

00:50:16will be counterproductive

00:50:18to Britain's international standing

00:50:20and its fight against terrorism.

00:50:36I am exhausted.

00:50:39Sick of the sound of my own voice.

00:50:45What's that?

00:50:48I only just found it.

00:50:55Dear Ms. Swire,

00:50:58I'm pleased to inform you

00:50:59that you have been

00:51:02accepted to study postgraduate medicine.

00:51:09Did you know she'd applied?

00:51:11No, I didn't.

00:51:19We must celebrate.

00:51:34She used to love coming here as a child

00:51:36to feed the ducks.

00:51:46Congratulations, Flora.

00:51:49Well done, darling.

00:51:59She was following in your footsteps.

00:52:04She'd have eclipsed me.

00:52:09She'd have done something incredible.

00:52:21Take a seat.

00:52:24Some good news.

00:52:25Parkinson's finally agreed to a meeting.

00:52:27Well, Jim Swire,

00:52:28constantly snapping at his heels,

00:52:29finally worked.

00:52:33A gift.

00:52:36I'm too good to you.

00:52:38My article about this

00:52:39should hopefully be

00:52:40in the Glasgow Tribune next week.

00:52:42Wanted to give you

00:52:43a sneak preview.

00:52:49I know.

00:53:09Good afternoon.

00:53:11Welcome.

00:53:12Have you been offered tea or coffee?

00:53:14No, thank you.

00:53:18Straight down to business, then.

00:53:23Helsinki warning.

00:53:26Not acted upon.

00:53:28German police warning

00:53:29following the discovery

00:53:31of Toshiba devices

00:53:32in the autumn leaves raid.

00:53:35Not acted upon.

00:53:36And now,

00:53:37this letter

00:53:39your department sent

00:53:40to Heathrow management

00:53:41seemingly dated

00:53:42December 19th,

00:53:44two days before

00:53:44flight 103 came down.

00:53:46This time,

00:53:47it included

00:53:47a German police photo.

00:53:49of the radio cassette recorder

00:53:51in which they had found

00:53:52explosive devices.

00:53:54Your department's advice

00:53:55to security staff

00:53:58is that if they're suspicious

00:53:59about anything contained

00:54:00within a piece of luggage,

00:54:01they should place it

00:54:02in the hold,

00:54:03which is exactly

00:54:04where the bomb

00:54:05on flight 103

00:54:06went off.

00:54:07Dr. Swire...

00:54:08So that even if they think

00:54:08something is potentially dangerous,

00:54:10they're still to allow it

00:54:11onto the plane.

00:54:12Beggar's belief.

00:54:15This advice

00:54:16was given on the basis

00:54:18that most terror attacks

00:54:20on commercial airliners

00:54:22are hijackings.

00:54:24Our reasoning for advising

00:54:26luggage containing anything suspicious

00:54:28was put in the hold

00:54:29was to separate

00:54:31potential hijacker

00:54:32from his weapon

00:54:33and thus alleviate

00:54:35their ability

00:54:36to hijack a plane.

00:54:38I'm sorry,

00:54:38but that is not good enough.

00:54:40This proves

00:54:41you had legitimate concerns.

00:54:42Why else include

00:54:43a picture of the radio cassette recorder?

00:54:45Well, as I've just...

00:54:46That's not even the worst of it.

00:54:47I have it on good authority

00:54:49that although this

00:54:50was dated

00:54:50December the 19th,

00:54:52it was received late.

00:54:53It only reached Heathrow

00:54:55after the plane

00:54:55came down

00:54:56because your department

00:54:57couldn't get photocopies

00:54:59made in time.

00:55:00So it wasn't just ignored.

00:55:03Like the Helsinki warning,

00:55:04it was practically withheld.

00:55:06You failed to alert

00:55:07your airports

00:55:08to three legitimate threats.

00:55:11You failed to keep

00:55:12your passengers safe.

00:55:13You failed in your duty.

00:55:15We have to where?

00:55:18No, no.

00:55:18You withheld information,

00:55:20Minister.

00:55:22Your government knew.

00:55:24Your department knew.

00:55:26Heathrow management,

00:55:27the State Department,

00:55:28American Embassy staff.

00:55:29They all knew.

00:55:30The only people who didn't know,

00:55:32the passengers on flight 103.

00:55:34With respect.

00:55:35No, you talk about respect,

00:55:37but you're showing us none.

00:55:39Your government

00:55:40is not taking responsibility.

00:55:42You are denying,

00:55:43you are evading the truth.

00:55:45And I find it despicable.

00:55:46Jim, please.

00:55:52Perhaps some tea, after all.

00:55:54We'd rather have an inquiry.

00:55:58I have nightmares.

00:56:03Almost every night.

00:56:07Was our daughter conscious

00:56:08as she fell through the sky?

00:56:13I've read about it.

00:56:14I shouldn't have really,

00:56:16but I had to.

00:56:19The lack of oxygen at 33,000 feet

00:56:22would have meant Flora

00:56:23lost consciousness immediately.

00:56:27But as she fell

00:56:28and the oxygen in the atmosphere

00:56:30increased,

00:56:30she would have come round.

00:56:33An expert I talked to

00:56:35told me that Flora

00:56:36might have been conscious

00:56:37for as much as 15 seconds.

00:56:4115 seconds knowing

00:56:43she was falling to certain death.

00:56:51One.

00:56:54Two.

00:56:57Three.

00:57:00Four.

00:57:04Five.

00:57:07Six.

00:57:29Thirteen.

00:57:32Fourteen.

00:57:36Fifteen.

00:57:38Six.

00:57:45Of course.

00:57:48I will take your request

00:57:49to the Prime Minister tomorrow.

00:57:53Seven.

00:57:58Seven.

00:58:01Seven.

00:58:04Seven.

00:58:13Merci.

00:58:35Merci.

00:59:06We will, I promise you.

00:59:10How it happened, why it happened.

00:59:13You did it.

00:59:21I will never stop.

00:59:25Not until we know the answer to everything.

00:59:38I will never stop.

01:00:16Did you kill my daughter?
