5th of December last year.

Yes, I know about that.
I saw the report on Newsnight.

The embassy dismissed it
as a hoax.

- I didn't dwell on it too much,

a Pan Am flight from Frankfurt

would be blown up over Christmas
by someone associated with
381

originated in Frankfurt.

advised all staff not to fly
Pan Am over Christmas.

serious enough--

is if Channon knows,
if the detectives on
the investigation know,
486

why don't they
make the names public?
487
00:46:19,169 --> 00:46:24,569
My guess is they're still
gathering evidence, and Channon
spoke out of turn.

But why all so secretive?

Probably because
it involves Iran and Syria,

503
00:47:31,235 --> 00:47:34,936
BEA Flight 548
came down near Staines.
504
00:47:35,969 --> 00:47:38,235
118 people died.
505
00:47:38,336 --> 00:47:42,803
One day after it happened,
the conservative government
ordered
506
00:47:42,903 --> 00:47:45,636
an independent inquiry
into the crash.
507
00:47:46,402 --> 00:47:49,069
To find out how it happened
508
00:47:49,169 --> 00:47:52,703
and to make sure
it never happened again.
509
00:47:54,336 --> 00:47:59,169
So the criminal investigation
will seek to find out
510
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:02,002
who planted that bomb.
511
00:48:02,102 --> 00:48:04,369
But what we should be asking
is how it happened.
512
00:48:04,469 --> 00:48:09,569
How did a bomb
get through airport security
and onto Flight 103?
513
00:48:09,669 --> 00:48:13,402
Were mistakes made?
Were threat warnings ignored?
514
00:48:13,502 --> 00:48:16,803
Why is there
so much secrecy around this?
515
00:48:17,869 --> 00:48:20,235
We have a right to know.
516
00:48:20,336 --> 00:48:24,336
If the Staines crash merited an
inquiry, then so does Lockerbie.
517
00:48:27,836 --> 00:48:32,469
Thank you, Jim. I think we're
all agreed on that.
518
00:48:32,569 --> 00:48:39,235
Now next on the agenda,
we were going to appoint
a spokesperson for the group.
519
00:48:40,002 --> 00:48:42,803
Does anyone have any
suggestions?
520
00:48:59,169 --> 00:49:00,336
What?
521
00:49:00,936 --> 00:49:02,536
I have to look smart.
522
00:49:02,636 --> 00:49:06,236
(CHUCKLES) You're going
on the radio, Jim.
523
00:49:06,336 --> 00:49:08,536
JONATHAN DOBSON ON RADIO:
With me I have Dr. Jim Swire,
524
00:49:08,636 --> 00:49:11,402
spokesman for
the UK Families Flight 103.
525
00:49:11,502 --> 00:49:15,236
Now you're currently lobbying
for an inquiry. Is that right?
526
00:49:15,336 --> 00:49:18,035
That is correct, Jonathan.
We're calling for an
across the board,
527
00:49:18,135 --> 00:49:20,636
independent inquiry,
to look into the response
528
00:49:20,736 --> 00:49:23,302
of the Department of Transport
and the British government
529
00:49:23,402 --> 00:49:25,870
to the warning they received
from the German police.
530
00:49:25,970 --> 00:49:29,302
We want to know
why it wasn't acted upon.
531
00:49:29,402 --> 00:49:30,703
So who knew what and when.

00:49:30,803 --> 00:49:32,436
NEWSCASTER 1: Many questions
are still being asked
533
00:49:32,536 --> 00:49:34,736
about the bombing
of Pan Am Flight 103.
534
00:49:34,836 --> 00:49:38,169
Was the official
investigation obstructed?
Has there been a cover-up?
535
00:49:38,269 --> 00:49:40,336
NEWSCASTER 2:
Transport Department
says it can't confirm
536
00:49:40,436 --> 00:49:42,236
a news report quoting it,
537
00:49:42,336 --> 00:49:46,402
that baggage on Pan Am 103
from Frankfurt was not
screened again at London.
538
00:49:46,502 --> 00:49:48,970
JIM: Whoever was
behind this surely
cannot believe their luck
539
00:49:49,069 --> 00:49:50,469
at how easy it was
540
00:49:50,569 --> 00:49:53,369
for their bomb to be loaded
onto a commercial flight
and blow it up,
541
00:49:53,469 --> 00:49:56,402
causing hundreds of deaths.
That is why we're pushing--

They were pushing very hard
for a public inquiry.
543
00:49:59,236 --> 00:50:01,236
{\an8}I said to them that
we didn't rule that out,
544
00:50:01,336 --> 00:50:04,135

was the criminal
investigation--

I'm sorry to say that

00:50:06,369 --> 00:50:08,436
Mr. Parkinson is sitting late
in Parliament tonight.
547
00:50:08,536 --> 00:50:13,035
{\an8}The inquiry that Dr. Swire
is asking for will be
counterproductive
548
00:50:13,135 --> 00:50:18,169
{\an8}to Britain's international
standing and its fight
against terrorism.

- No, I didn't.

(DOOR OPENS)
574
00:53:06,770 --> 00:53:08,436
Good afternoon. Welcome.
575
00:53:08,536 --> 00:53:12,336
- Um, have you been offered
tea or coffee?
- No, thank you.
576
00:53:14,903 --> 00:53:16,870
Straight down to business then.
577
00:53:20,603 --> 00:53:24,536
Helsinki warning,
not acted upon.
578
00:53:24,636 --> 00:53:30,169
German police warning following
the discovery of Toshiba devices
579
00:53:30,269 --> 00:53:32,936
in the "Autumn Leaves" raid,
not acted upon.
580
00:53:33,036 --> 00:53:37,936
And now, this letter
your department sent
to Heathrow Management,
581
00:53:38,036 --> 00:53:42,636
seemingly dated December 19th,
two days before Flight 103
came down.
582
00:53:42,736 --> 00:53:47,936
This time it included
a German police photo of
the radio-cassette recorder
583
00:53:48,036 --> 00:53:50,937
in which they had found
explosive devices.
584
00:53:51,036 --> 00:53:55,670
Your department's advice
to security staff is that
if they're suspicious
585
00:53:55,770 --> 00:53:58,469
about anything contained
within a piece of luggage,
586
00:53:58,569 --> 00:54:00,102
they should place it
in the hold.
587
00:54:00,202 --> 00:54:03,903
Which is exactly where the bomb
on Flight 103 went off.
588
00:54:04,002 --> 00:54:07,436
- Dr. Swire--
- Even if they think something
is potentially dangerous,
589
00:54:07,536 --> 00:54:11,770
they're still to allow it onto
the plane. It beggars belief.
590
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:17,102
This advice was given on the
basis that most terror attacks
591
00:54:17,202 --> 00:54:20,569
on commercial airliners
are hijackings.
592
00:54:20,670 --> 00:54:24,736
Our reasoning for advising
luggage containing
anything suspicious
593
00:54:24,836 --> 00:54:30,570
was put in the hold was to
separate a potential hijacker
from his weapon,
594
00:54:30,670 --> 00:54:34,536
and thus alleviate their ability
to hijack a plane.
595
00:54:34,636 --> 00:54:39,269
I'm sorry, that is not
good enough. This proves
you had legitimate concerns.
596
00:54:39,369 --> 00:54:42,703
Why else include a picture
of the radio-cassette recorder?
597
00:54:42,803 --> 00:54:45,570
That's not even the worst of it.
I have it on good authority
598
00:54:45,670 --> 00:54:50,169
that although this was
dated December the 19th,
it was received late.
599
00:54:50,269 --> 00:54:53,403
It only reached Heathrow
after the plane came down.
600
00:54:53,503 --> 00:54:57,303
Because your department couldn't
get photocopies made in time.
601
00:54:58,269 --> 00:55:00,002
It wasn't just ignored.
602
00:55:00,102 --> 00:55:03,169
Like the Helsinki warning,
it was practically withheld.
603
00:55:03,269 --> 00:55:07,836
You failed to alert
your airports to three
legitimate threats.
604
00:55:07,937 --> 00:55:12,303
You failed to keep
your passengers safe.
You failed in your duty.

I've read about it.
I shouldn't have, really,
but I had to.
622
00:56:16,603 --> 00:56:18,770
The lack of oxygen
at 33,000 feet
623
00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:22,303
would have meant Flora lost
consciousness immediately.
624

But as she fell and the oxygen
in the atmosphere increased,
625
00:56:27,369 --> 00:56:30,036
she would have come around.

that Flora might have been
