Revealing the Full History of the 1988 Terrorist Attack Against America
In an instant, a terrorist bomb destroyed a U.S.-flagged aircraft en route from London to New York, killing 270 people. Three decades later, the Pan Am 103 Lockerbie Legacy Foundation was established by the founders of Families of Pan Am 103 Lockerbie to remember the victims, enhance flyers' and victims' rights, ensure vigilance against future attacks, and reveal U.S. authorities' three decade delay in holding any Pan Am 103 attackers accountable.
Our Simple Yet Ambitious Goals
We aim to raise awareness and codify the history of the December 21, 1988, attack against America. We educate with historical timelines and an archive of primary sources. We preserve memories of the victims in our Living Memorial. We connect the global community of people affected by the attack. We give voice to those whose lives were forever changed with our Legacy Story Library. We celebrate Lockerbie, Scotland, and all who reminded the world that good endures.
A Letter From Our Founder

"Until the events of September 11, 2001, the bombing of Pan American Flight 103 was the single deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history and the specific event that propelled America into the age of modern global terrorism."
Our Mission
The Pan Am 103 Lockerbie Legacy Foundation aims to be a principal U.S. nonprofit institution dedicated to clarifying and documenting the December 21, 1988, terrorist attack against America. We are committed to exploring the event and its impact and to examining its relevance to contemporary society and the flying public. We honor the 270 victims with our Living Memorial. We bear witness and give voice to the thousands of people whose lives were forever changed with the Legacy Story Library. We educate with historical timelines and an archive of primary sources. We connect the survivors and the global Pan Am 103 Lockerbie community.
Our Vision
Unless we unearth, preserve, and learn the difficult lessons of the terrorist attack against America that targeted Pan American flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, history may continue to repeat itself, as it did on September 11, 2001, and humanity will remain just as vulnerable to terrorism. Yet the worst in humanity can bring out the best in humanity. Sharing the stories that emerged in the aftermath helps us understand, heal, and make lasting change. Good endures.
