No one dies unless they are forgotten. The 270 victims killed in the bombing of Pan American flight 103 came from many walks of life and 21 countries. They ranged from 2 months to 82 years old, with more than half under 30. On board were 190 Americans. Eleven Lockerbie residents died on the ground.
The Living Memorial is a dynamic interactive site honoring the 270 victims with a gallery page of full-color headshot images. Each victim has a multimedia biographical page. We invite loved ones to upload tributes, messages, photos, audio, video, and other tokens of memory.
