A Global Moment of Silence for Pan Am 103


This remembrance is the concept of three former Pan Am flight attendants. Olgalis Chacon developed the idea. Romlee Stoughton designed the memorial cover and Anne Sweeney wrote and distributed the message.

Please Join Us In
A Moment of Silence  
1902 GMT
December 21, 2013
The 25th Anniversary Of
The Day the Heart
Of Pan Am Died


Remembering Pan Am 103 and the Crew, Passengers and Residents of Lockerbie, Scotland who perished 25 years ago.  
Twenty-five years ago, on December 21st, 1988, a terrorist's bomb ripped apart Pan Am Clipper Maid of the Seas, raining fire, wreckage and death on a quiet Scottish town. The bombing of Pan Am 103 left wounds that still ache, for the families, the people of Lockerbie and for Pan Amers around the world. It was indeed, the Day the heart of Pan Am died. 
On Saturday, December 21st, 2013, we invite you to join the people of Pan American World Airways in observing a moment of silence at 1902 GMT, the hour the bomb exploded.
 Never Forget....
 These stained glass windows by Scottish artist John Clark represent the flags of the nations of the victims of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The windows are installed in the town hall in Lockerbie, Scotland.
This remembrance is the concept of three former Pan Am flight attendants. Olgalis Chacon developed the idea. Romlee Stoughton designed the memorial cover and Anne Sweeney wrote and distributed the message. 
We hope you will join us in spirit, wherever you are on December 21st at 1902 GMT to remember the 259 passengers and crew and the 11 residents of Lockerbie, Scotland, who perished because of this unconscionable terrorist attack.   
The tragedy was the beginning of the end of Pan American World Airways, an aviation icon. For those of us in the Pan Am Family the loss of our company was shattering. If Pan Amers and their friends around the globe, simultaneously remember Flight 103, we can honor those lost to us and remind the world that on that December day, the heart of Pan Am perished too.
