Lockerbie Survivor's Watch: A Poignant Reminder

Lockerbie Survivor's Watch: A Poignant Reminder 25 Years On Thirty-eight years after the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, a small, seemingly insignificant object continues to hold profound meaning. Helga Mosey's watch, recovered from the wreckage, was still functioning a year after the tragedy that claimed the lives of 270 people, including her daughter. The BBC Scotland documentary, "Lockerbie: Our Story", features Ms. Mosey's emotional recounting of this discovery. "Which in a way was very poignant," Ms. Mosey reflects in the video clip, "because I thought, something that has been made, something cheap like that, is still somehow alive and working, and our daughter is dead." Her words capture the raw grief and the unexpected symbolism of the watch's survival – a stark contrast to the irreplaceable loss of human life. The watch, a simple Casio, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of the bombing and the enduring impact on those who lost loved ones. The documentary 'Lockerbie: Our Story' offers a deeper exploration of this and other personal stories connected to the tragedy, available now on BBC iPlayer.
