Netflix releases the official trailer and key art for their 6-part limited series. The show is based on the shocking and true events of Lockerbie, The Bombing Of Pan Am 103.
December 21st, 1988, will live in the memory of all those who watched the horrifying footage of the events that occurred. However, that is nothing compared to the population of the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, or the survivors on the ground. It is also nothing compared to the families of those who had their lives ended on that infamous day. I remember watching the unfolding disaster on TV when the first reports of the tragedy emerged. These reports came late at night here in the UK.
I was sitting down, preparing to watch the Dirty Harry movie, Magnum Force, after the 10 pm news broadcast. Instead, I sat shocked at the reports that were coming in. I watched the images that were broadcast on TV the following morning of the disaster. At that time, I was not aware yet, as the rest of the world was also not aware, either, of the real cause of the plane crash.
Over the years, there have been several documentaries and dramatic recreations of the events of that fateful evening. Almost every aspect of the events has been looked at, analyzed, and commented upon, almost as much as 9/11. Now, a new limited series is coming to join the ranks. Today, Netflix released the official main trailer and key art for their 6-part recreation, THE BOMBING OF PAN AM 103. It will launch on the streaming service on July 30th. It is a production of World Productions (an ITV Studios company) in association with MGM Television and Night Train Media.
ABOUT THE LIMITED SERIES
On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 270 people. What followed was the largest murder investigation in the history of Scottish policing, into the deadliest act of terrorism on British soil. Based on the testimony of those who were there, this is the true story of the collaboration between Scottish police and US law enforcement — and the families’ quest for justice.
