Mr Pule Carmel,

You forgot the all mighty one : The Turk Hava Yollari (Turkish Airlines) DC 10 that blew a cargo door and smashed itself into smitherines outside Paris AFTER, I repeat AFTER an earlier ( same cargo door mechanism and aircraft type) incident involving an American Airlines DC10 but with luckier consequences over Canada !!! "Destination Disaster" is the book to read here !!!! What an interesting read !!!

A National Airlines DC10 flying over New Mexico suffered a catasptrophic engine failure due to the pilots messing around with circuit breakers while performing cockpit experimentation of the auto throttle system during a passenger carrying commercial flight !!! The flying debris from the engine caused a large hole in fuselage and one passenger was lost and never found !!!

The Japan Airlines B747 that crashed into a mountain in Japan that was structurally repaired a few years earlier by Boeing itself, only to find during the subsequent investigation that rivets where missing in places where they should have been present !!!!!

What about the Boeing B737 uncontrolled full rudder deflections that claimed at least 2 aircraft !!!!

The aviation industry still uses a proven dangerous insulation on wires !!!!

Not all AircraftCrashes are solved but I have a lot of admiration for theInvestigators and theDetective work that goes behind theScenes to protect us when we are passengers on an aircraft. In the case ofLockerbie it took brains to follow a tiny broken printed circuit and detect that20 long durationTIMERS were made inSwitzerland and delivered toLibya, where all attention followed. But it is not only terrorists that bring planes down.It is ordinary people who do not pay attention to theirWork.
Concorde crashed because someone did not inspect a small strip of metal.
A twin engine plane crashed in the MED as the fuel gauges model were changed and indicated 1800 gallons, when the tanks were empty.
The engine mounts on a DC10 were damaged, due to wrong work practice.
A pilot allowed his son in the cockpit seat, and the automatic pilot took over at the wrong sequence.
Wrong bolts in windscreen gave way, and sucked out the pilot, hence—
Low cost airlinesHawaii banned over Europe, due to missed maintenance schedules.
Air traffic controller’s mistakes.
Russian and Dutch Pilots not obeying controllers.
Wrongdoings cause consequences, some go free, some pay for their own errors; many pay for other people’s errors.

The appeal documents are here. Another travesty of justice. One would think it would have been best to take seriously the last person who loaded the container- i.e. John Bedford-who said that the Samsonite case was 'slipped' into the container while he was on a tea break.

FYI. It seems that the british authorities knew about a reported breakin in one ofe the airport security areas. This was supposedly related to the case in point ,but hush hushed. The reporter who dug this up stated that the British Government did not want the bombing to have a connection with anyone based in England. So please let this be and forget the whole episode as there is more than you can ever think of .

Mr Sammut
That was the point i was trying to make,not very successfully it seems. I don't believe that this man, or Libya had anything to do with Lockerbie. There were more powerfull forces at work here.and, as for the Maltese guy accepting the american dollar..well that speaks for itself.

@J Farrugia
Of this I am dead certain.
But for me, this man is just a scapegoat. He is innocent.

I'm surprised that nobody seems to be paying any attention to one important point - the prosecution was led to Tony Gauci because he ran a shop that was the main outlet for Yorkie brand trousers - but it was not the only one.

@ M Attard

Ordinary citizens are not in a position to present 'evidence' in cases of this magnitude. We are, nevertheless, in a position to express views. Mr al-Megrahi was singled out on the basis of evidence built around 'human memory'. Imagine being a shopkeeper trying to remember the face of someone who 'may' have walked into your shop several years earlier. This will have been shaky evidence if anything.

There were four very powerful, very secretive groups of people involved here, namely, Libyan, East German, British, and US secret-service personnel. The British and the US governments had several of their citizens putting pressure on them to produce evidence and to bring the perpetrators to justice. But governments who are at war disqualify themselves from being able to give just that to their own citizens, namely, 'justice'. Neither Mr al-Megrahi nor the British/US bereaved citizens will ever have justice because their respective governments had been at war at the time.

"Confidential documents - which could relate to international intelligence - remained a mystery because British Foreign Secretary David Milliband did not want them revealed in court" ......I have a question about this statement : Is this actually allowed as evidence in court ? Under what circumstances can this non exposure of evidence be suitable as evidence when not shown in court ?? I find this very odd and unreasonable really should the interest of the truth be known to the public be a priority !!! An interest to hide things is not a very good one, .........Isn't this true ???

I do hope that people do realise that Tripoli was attacked by US Bombers based in the UK, killing innocent civilians also. Isn't this taking the Law in ones hand, .............what does one call this ??

Regarding International Intelligence, may I quote Mr Tony Blair, himself explicitly expressing in public FAILED INTELLIGENCE in the case of hidden Chemical Weapons in Iraq ?? May I ask the readers and the public, WHOM DO YOU BELEIVE ?

As a Maltese citizen, who my country was thrown into this matter, very undeservedly, I am very interested in the TRUTH.

..and yet..and yet ,Mr Farrugia you know.. maybe you would like to present your evidence?.

This is all pooh-pooh. Nothing will convince me. This man was made a scapegoat by Libya for its own purposes. Libya was truly responsible for the murder of all those innocent passengers of the Boeing 747 which crashed in Lockerbie. Of this I am dead certain. But for me, this man is just a scapegoat. He is innocent. No one will ever know who was/were the person/s truly responsible for this mass murder of innocent people and no one will ever know.
