With all the tragedy going-on, I forgot to remember the sad anniversary of the bombing of PanAm 103 back on Dec. 21,1988. I was teaching at the time and one of my students lost his dad in this tragedy. There was no mention of this yesterday by the news media but I was a spotter back then and remember seeing N739PA "Maid of the Seas" arriving on Rwy 22L back in July. Soon afterwards, visitors no longer could freely roam around the roof of Terminal 3 and barbed-wire fences were the result. Hopefully, this date will be mentioned for the 25th Anniversary next year. In retrospect, the JFK Tragedy as well as Pearl Harbor both got little or no mention.
