The Disasters that Shocked Scotland (2021)

S1E4 Lockerbie & Clutha

Jul 21, 2021 Season 1 Episode 4 History

Using archival footage, heartfelt accounts from those affected, and insights from journalists who reported on these tragedies, this episode delves into the disasters that have left a profound impact on Scotland. We look back at the Lockerbie bombing of 1971, the UK's most devastating terrorist attack, when a Pan Am flight bound for New York City erupted over Lockerbie just days before Christmas. Fast forward to 2013, when a police helicopter tragically crashed onto the roof of the bustling Clutha bar in Glasgow's city center, marking another dark moment in Scotland's history.
