nightmare experience flying uk to the u.s

You recall my earlier point that it was the same aircraft that went down over Lockerbie? It is notable that Pan-Am was operating this (and other) aircraft in a non-flightworthy condition even back then!

That and the small matter of the detonation of the plastics explosives in the cargo hold by terrorists, which I'm guessing was more of a factor than any supposed "non-flightworthy condition".

True that it was explosives that destroyed this one.

My point was to show what cheap-a$$es Pan-Am's management always were; the explosives got on board because they decided to skimp on security--at a time when they were already a likely target (due to the Iran Air downing--in fact an Iranian hajoteleslam was the first suspect to be identified as the plotmaster, rather than the Libyans eventually convicted).

Thanks Samantha, I had a super visit with my family and friends and managed to totally surprize my Mum as she had no idea I was coming back that day In saying that though, I really wanted to get back home to Texas. i had a satisfying visit back in N.Ire but it feels great to be back home again with my hubby and my dog (don't ask me to say which one I missed the most! )
