Podcasts about pan am flight

Through her sharp and biting political commentary—whether as host of the podcast Fast Politics, as a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, or as a political analyst on MSNBC—Molly Jong-Fast has, over the past decade, become something of a household name. But, as the daughter of the once-famous author and second-wave feminist Erica Jong—whose 1973 novel Fear of Flying catapulted her into the literary limelight—she has actually been in the public eye for much longer, decades before this more recent notoriety of her own making. Jong-Fast's latest book, the searing, heartbreaking (but also, at times, hilarious) memoir How to Lose Your Mother, is in some sense an effort to take her story back after being in the shadow of her narcissistic, too often out-of-reach mother for so long. It's also a book about aging and frailty, and an extremely difficult, gut-wrenching year: In 2023, Erica was diagnosed with dementia, right around the same time that Molly's husband learned he had a rare cancer.On the episode, Jong-Fast talks about her own actual fear of flying, in addition to her mother's book of the same name; 27 years of sobriety and how her time in A.A. has transformed her life; and the importance of confronting the vicissitudes of aging and one's passage through time.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Molly Jong-Fast[4:28] “Fear of Flying” (1973)[4:28] Erica Jong[4:49] “How to Lose Your Mother: A Daughter's Memoir”[7:53] “Spartacus” (1951)[7:53] “April Morning” (1961)[7:53] “The Immigrants” (1977)[9:15] Lee Krasner[10:04] Susan Faludi[10:04] “Backlash” (1991)[12:09] “Fear and Flying Erica & Erotica in Connecticut” (1980)[12:09] “Fanny” (1980)[14:57] Marty Seif[18:26] Special Guest: Erica Jong (2023)[19:39] Pan Am Flight 001[21:11] “The Year of Magical Thinking” (2005)[21:11] “Notes to John” (2025)[26:54] “The Sex Doctors in the Basement” (2005)[36:46] “Normal Girl” (2000)[38:52] Jacob Bernstein[38:52] Carl Bernstein[38:52] Stalin Peace Prize[46:05] Michael Tomasky[48:55] Hazelden[49:57] “How Molly Jong-Fast Tweeted Her Way to Liberal Media Stardom”

Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning producer Nigel Marchant (Downton Abbey) is back with his latest mini-series Lockerbie: A Search for Truth starring Colin Firth leading a dogged investigation after Britain's worst terrorist attack, the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 270 people.

My guest this week is award-winning journalist Ken Fortenberry, author of "Flight 7 Is Missing: The Search for My Father's Killer". He walks us through the ill-fated flight of Pan Am's luxurious "Romance of the Skies", a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser that mysteriously crashed into the Pacific Ocean in November of 1957. Forty-four people were killed, including his own father, who copiloted and navigated the plane. His decades long investigation of the crash has led him to the conclusion that the victims were murdered, and he shares with us who he believes the killer is.

Lockerbie: A Search for Truth Dr. Jim Swire searches for justice following the death of his daughter Flora in one of the worst air disasters in history: the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. On December 21, 1988, 259 passengers and crew, as well as 11 residents on the ground, were killed when a plane exploded over the quiet town of Lockerbie, Scotland. Thirteen years later, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime and later released on compassionate grounds. In the wake of Flora's death, Jim is named head of the UK victims' group and, after years of relentless campaigning, becomes instrumental in bringing Megrahi to trial. However, Jim's absolute trust in the justice system is sullied forever when he comes to believe, to his horror, that Megrahi could be innocent. As the truth shifts under Jim's feet, his life starts to crumble, losing his job and ignoring his living family for this crusade for truth and his desire to find those responsible for her death (TVNZ+ and TVNZ1 from Sunday).

In July 1955, Pan Am Flight 914 left New York City Airport en route to Miami. However, the flight never made it to sunny Florida. Without sending out a single distress signal, or leaving behind even the smallest piece of wreckage, the plane and its 57 passengers seemingly vanished into thin air. As the years passed without any sign of the missing plane, most people assumed the mystery would never be solved. But then, 37 years later, the impossible happened. Grab your popcorn and stay tuned to find out exactly what that impossible occurrence was, alongside a whole host of other eerie, mysterious voyages.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This Day in Legal History: Lockerbie Bombing IndictmentsOn November 11, 1991, indictments were formally announced in the notorious Lockerbie bombing case, marking a significant milestone in international criminal justice. U.S. and U.K. prosecutors indicted two Libyan nationals—Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi and Lamin Khalifah Fhimah—in connection with the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The attack took place on December 21, 1988, when the plane exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 people on board and 11 residents on the ground. This tragedy led to a complex, multi-year investigation involving multiple countries and was one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in the West prior to September 11, 2001.The indictments represented a significant moment in the use of international legal cooperation to address terrorism, as both the U.S. and U.K. sought justice for their citizens. The two men were accused of planting a bomb in the cargo hold, allegedly on behalf of Libyan intelligence services. However, for nearly a decade after the indictments, Libya resisted extradition requests, prompting years of diplomatic pressure and international sanctions.Finally, in 1999, Libya agreed to turn over Megrahi and Fhimah for trial in a specially created Scottish court seated in the Netherlands. This arrangement respected Libyan sovereignty while ensuring an impartial setting for the trial. After extensive proceedings, Megrahi was found guilty in 2001 of the murders, receiving a life sentence, while Fhimah was acquitted. The trial itself remains a significant example of international criminal law in action, setting a precedent for how nations can pursue justice in politically sensitive, cross-border terrorism cases. The Lockerbie bombing case also raised ongoing questions about evidence reliability and political influences in terrorism prosecutions, as Megrahi's conviction remained controversial, leading to a compassionate release in 2009 due to his terminal illness.This legal landmark underscored both the complexities of prosecuting international terrorism and the power of coordinated legal frameworks to address global threats.A New York judge, Justice Juan Merchan, will soon decide if President-elect Donald Trump's criminal conviction for falsifying business records related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels should be overturned. This decision follows a July U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which Trump's lawyers argue should apply to his case, asserting that the conviction should be dismissed. Merchan is also considering whether to proceed with sentencing Trump on Nov. 26, although legal experts believe this is unlikely before his Jan. 20 inauguration. If Merchan rules favorably on immunity or delays sentencing, Trump may assume the presidency without immediate legal encumbrances. Meanwhile, federal cases against Trump by Special Counsel Jack Smith are expected to be paused due to Justice Department policies against prosecuting sitting presidents. However, a separate Georgia state case remains unresolved. Trump, who maintains his innocence in all four cases, argues these prosecutions are politically motivated. Manhattan prosecutors counter that the Supreme Court's immunity decision doesn't apply since Trump's case involves non-official conduct, not covered by presidential immunity. Experts note that even if the conviction stands, Trump's team will likely seek to delay sentencing, which could potentially involve up to four years in prison, although fines or probation are more likely.Judge to decide whether Trump's hush money conviction can stand | ReutersDonald Trump's upcoming administration aims to drastically cut federal regulations, but recent Supreme Court rulings, including the end of Chevron deference, could complicate these efforts. Chevron deference, which previously allowed agencies flexibility in interpreting vague laws, was struck down in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. Without this precedent, Trump's regulatory changes may face increased legal scrutiny, with courts more likely to question whether agencies are acting beyond Congress's intent. Despite these obstacles, Trump will likely have Senate support for his deregulation goals, especially as the ruling requires more specific legislative language—a challenge in a closely divided Congress.Lobbyists expect Trump's administration to focus on rolling back labor, environmental, and financial regulations. However, advocacy groups are poised to use the Supreme Court's ruling to defend Biden-era rules, arguing against the administration's authority under the revised legal framework. Trump may opt for informal guidance, like advisory memos or circulars, rather than formal rule-making, as these are harder to legally challenge. Corporate and industry groups generally support deregulation, though the ongoing legal and policy shifts could create near-term uncertainty. To establish lasting changes, Trump and Congress would need to pass new legislation, avoiding the “ping pong effect” of policies fluctuating with each administration change.Trump's Push to Deregulate Faces Challenges in Post-Chevron EraLaw firms saw a substantial profit increase of 11.2% in the third quarter of 2024, largely due to high lawyer productivity, strong billing rates, and controlled expenses, as reported by the Thomson Reuters Institute's Law Firm Financial Index. This index, which aggregates financial metrics from 195 large and midsize firms, recorded its second-highest score since inception, highlighting broad-based demand growth across multiple practice areas. Litigation demand rose by 4%, with gains also in corporate, real estate, labor, employment, and bankruptcy practices, while only intellectual property showed a slight decline.The report contrasts 2024's strong, diversified demand with the post-2021 demand slump, suggesting more stable long-term profitability for law firms. With Donald Trump's recent election win, firms anticipate additional work in areas such as regulation, compliance, antitrust, and energy. Although declining inflation may limit future billing rate increases, firms remain optimistic about the potential for new legal work stemming from significant regulatory changes expected in early 2025.Law firm profits soared in third quarter of 2024, report finds | ReutersThe National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has overturned a 40-year-old precedent, ruling that employers can no longer generally warn workers that unionization will harm their relationship with management. This ruling came from a case involving Starbucks, where the company allegedly made unlawful threats to employees during a union drive at its Seattle Roastery, warning them that unionizing could lead to reduced benefits and suggesting it would be futile. The board's decision revisits the 1985 Tri-Cast Inc. ruling, which had allowed employers to legally imply that unionizing would alter employees' direct relationships with management. Although the NLRB ultimately found that Starbucks' statements encouraging a "no" vote to maintain open communication with managers did not directly violate the law, it changed the standards for such statements going forward. The board's Democratic majority explained that the earlier precedent was incorrect in permitting nearly any statement that unionizing would affect the employee-manager relationship. This decision reinforces the NLRB's recent actions against Starbucks in its efforts to unionize over 500 locations nationwide, requiring the company to stop unlawful behavior and delete certain social media posts.NLRB Tosses 40-Year Stance on Manager Unionization Threats This is a public episode.

fWotD Episode 2661: Pan Am Flight 214 Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 17 August 2024 is Pan Am Flight 214.Pan Am Flight 214 was a scheduled flight of Pan American World Airways from Isla Verde International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Friendship Airport near Baltimore, and then to Philadelphia International Airport. On December 8, 1963, while flying from Baltimore to Philadelphia, the Boeing 707-121 serving the flight crashed near Elkton, Maryland. All 81 occupants of the plane were killed. The crash was Pan Am's first fatal accident with the 707, which it had introduced to its fleet five years earlier.An investigation by the Civil Aeronautics Board concluded that the probable cause of the crash was a lightning strike that had ignited fuel vapors in one of the aircraft's fuel tanks, causing an explosion that destroyed the left wing. The exact manner of ignition was never determined, but the investigation increased awareness of how lightning can damage aircraft, leading to new regulations that resulted in safety improvements. The crash also inspired research into the safety of several types of aviation fuel and into ways of changing the design of aircraft fuel systems to make them safer in the event of lightning strikes.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Saturday, 17 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Pan Am Flight 214 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Salli.

This Day in Legal History: Libya Surrenders NationalsOn April 5, 1999, a pivotal moment in the annals of international law and aviation security unfolded as the Libyan government surrendered two of its nationals, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi and Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah, to British authorities. These individuals were implicated in one of the most devastating acts of terrorism in history—the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on December 21, 1988. This tragedy not only claimed the lives of 270 people, including 11 on the ground but also marked a profound moment of grief and outrage across the globe.The surrender of the accused to the British government was a culmination of years of diplomatic negotiations and international sanctions against Libya, reflecting the persistent efforts of the victims' families and international community to seek justice. The trial, which began on May 3, 2000, at a special court in the Netherlands, was notable for being held under Scottish law—a unique legal arrangement that underscored the international dimensions of the case.The court proceedings were meticulous and exhaustive, drawing upon a wealth of evidence that included forensic analysis, witness testimonies, and the intricate tracing of the bomb's components. After extensive deliberations, the verdict was pronounced: Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah was acquitted and returned to Libya, a decision that stirred a mix of reactions worldwide. Conversely, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, a conviction that would later be mired in controversy and calls for re-examination.Megrahi's conviction did not close the chapter on the Lockerbie bombing; it instead opened further debate and investigation, including questions about the evidence, the legitimacy of the trial, and the role of other potential co-conspirators. His release in 2009 on compassionate grounds, due to terminal cancer, sparked further international debate and diplomatic tensions.This day in legal history underscores the complexities of achieving justice in the wake of terrorism, the challenges of international cooperation in legal matters, and the enduring impact of the Lockerbie bombing on the fields of aviation security and international law.The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is at the center of controversies involving attempts to move high-profile cases out of its jurisdiction, potentially preventing the court from ruling on matters of national importance. This situation arises as questions are raised about the appropriateness of filing certain legal challenges, particularly against government actions, in Texas courts. The ongoing scrutiny aims to determine if these cases genuinely belong in the jurisdictions where they were filed, amidst concerns over "judge shopping"—the practice of selecting courts thought to be favorable to the case.The Fifth Circuit is deliberating on whether to block lower court decisions that would transfer cases involving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Elon Musk's SpaceX to other federal courts. These moves are challenged under the premise that they could dilute the Fifth Circuit's ability to influence significant legal questions. Transfers are finalized once a case is docketed in the new jurisdiction, which then assumes authority, complicating any attempts to revert the transfer unless the new presiding judge consents.Appeals to prevent these transfers hinge on the high threshold for a writ of mandamus, a rare form of relief requiring clear evidence of a lower court's abuse of discretion. The scrutiny extends to the public perception of the Fifth Circuit's motivations, with some experts warning that aggressive efforts to retain cases could reflect poorly on the judiciary's impartiality.Historically, the Fifth Circuit has encountered issues with jurisdiction after cases were moved, as seen in a dispute involving a "ghost gun" company, highlighting the practical consequences of losing authority over transferred cases. The court's involvement in the SpaceX case, including a rare inquiry into the conduct of NLRB lawyers, further underscores the tension between maintaining jurisdiction and adhering to procedural norms.Judicial decisions on venue transfers, such as the recent ruling to move a lawsuit from Texas to Washington, D.C., reflect broader concerns about judge shopping and the integrity of case assignments. This ongoing saga emphasizes the complex interplay between legal strategy, jurisdictional authority, and the quest for a fair and appropriate venue for high-stakes litigation.Fifth Circuit Risks Losing Big Cases Amid Judge Shopping WorriesTerraform Labs and its co-founder Do Kwon are set to present their final arguments in a civil fraud trial, responding to charges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that they deceived investors about the stability of their stablecoin, TerraUSD, and its underlying technology. The SEC's allegations include false claims about Terraform's blockchain being utilized in a popular Korean payment app, aiming to secure civil penalties and industry bans for Kwon and Terraform. Despite Kwon's absence from the trial due to his arrest in Montenegro on separate charges, Terraform's defense contends that the SEC's case relies on out-of-context statements and incentivized whistleblowers. The collapse of TerraUSD in May 2022, which the SEC attributes to manipulated market actions by Kwon and his company, resulted in a $40 billion investor loss and significant disruptions in the broader cryptocurrency market.Terraform Labs to make final pitch to jury as civil fraud trial wraps | ReutersA New York judge has scheduled a hearing for April 22 to scrutinize the $175 million bond posted by former U.S. President Donald Trump. This bond was a condition for pausing a $454 million fraud judgment against him while he appeals the decision. The New York Attorney General, Letitia James, raised questions about the sufficiency of the assets of Knight Specialty Insurance Company—the firm Trump used for the bond—prompting the need for proof that it can cover the bond if Trump's appeal fails. Trump's bond was facilitated by the insurance company owned by Don Hankey, a California businessman known for his dealings in subprime car loans. Faced with a "practical impossibility" of raising the full amount initially required for the bond, Trump's team secured Knight Specialty's services after an appeals court provided a lifeline by granting an extension and reducing the bond amount. Hankey, dubbed "the king of subprime car loans," has a reputation for lending to individuals with poor credit at high rates and aggressive debt collection practices. Despite his wealth, evidenced by his ranking on Forbes's lists, and his history of significant Republican donations and financial dealings with Trump-related properties through Axos Bank, concerns about the sufficiency of assets stem from the specialized, high-risk nature of his business ventures. Knight Specialty's involvement, driven by a blend of business decision-making and political support for Trump, underscores the complexities and potential risks of securing such a substantial bond, especially given the magnitude of Trump's legal and financial challenges.This development adds another layer to Trump's legal challenges, which include efforts to dismiss criminal charges in Georgia related to the 2020 election and classified records handling, as well as a New York criminal trial on hush money payments set to begin a week before the bond hearing. Trump, who faces four indictments amidst his presidential campaign, has pleaded not guilty in all criminal cases.The fraud judgment by Judge Arthur Engoron in February, which Trump is appealing, found him liable for significantly overstating his assets' value. Trump's legal team has dismissed concerns over the bond as baseless, while representatives from Knight Specialty Insurance have not commented on the matter. According to a court filing, Knight claims to have $539 million in assets, including $26.8 million in cash, as it faces scrutiny over its ability to support Trump's bond amidst his multifaceted legal battles.Trump's $175 million bond questioned by New York AG, hearing scheduled | ReutersNew York AG Questions if $175 Million Bond Insurer Can Save TrumpThat Guy Who Backed Trump's Bond? He May Not Have the MoneyHow did Trump pay his $175m fraud bond – and who helped him?This week's closing theme is by Robert Schumann.Robert Schumann stands as one of the quintessential figures in the Romantic era of classical music, renowned for his richly expressive compositions that spanned piano, chamber music, lieder (those are art songs), and orchestral works. Born in Zwickau, Saxony, in 1810, Schumann initially intended to pursue a career in law, following the wishes of his family–but we're all glad he didn't. His deep passion for music, coupled with a hand injury that thwarted his ambitions of becoming a virtuoso pianist, led him down the path of composition and music criticism. Schumann's compositions are celebrated for their emotional depth, innovative harmonies, and poetic inspirations, reflecting the complex inner world of an artist who struggled with mental health issues throughout his life.In 1841, a year marked by newfound confidence and creativity for Schumann, he composed his Symphony No. 1 in B-flat major, Op. 38, commonly known as the "Spring" Symphony. Inspired by the poem "Spring" by Adolf Böttger, the symphony bursts with the freshness, vitality, and optimism of the season. The work was Schumann's bold entry into the world of symphonic music, encouraged by his wife, the eminent pianist and composer Clara Wieck Schumann. It was completed in just four days in January, a testament to Schumann's intense creative fervor during this period.The "Spring" Symphony premiered on March 31, 1841, in Leipzig, conducted by Felix Mendelssohn, a close friend and champion of Schumann's music. The reception was overwhelmingly positive, with the symphony hailed as a vibrant and joyful ode to spring. Its success established Schumann's reputation as a master of the symphonic form, a remarkable feat for someone who had previously been known primarily for his piano works and songs.The opening movement, "Andante un poco maestoso – Allegro molto vivace," immediately sets the tone of awakening and renewal. It begins with a slow, majestic introduction that evokes the first stirrings of spring, before launching into the lively and exuberant main Allegro section. This movement is characterized by its rhythmic vitality and melodic inventiveness, featuring a recurring fanfare motif that Schumann described as the "call of awakening" for spring. The energy and optimism of the Allegro perfectly capture the essence of the season, making it a fitting introduction to a symphony that remains one of Schumann's most beloved works.Schumann's Symphony No. 1, with its vivid depiction of spring's arrival and rejuvenation, not only solidified his place among the great symphonists of the Romantic era but also offered a deeply personal reflection of the composer's own sense of renewal and hope. Through the "Spring" Symphony, and particularly its spirited Allegro, Schumann invites listeners to share in the joy and boundless possibilities of the season, making it a timeless piece that continues to enchant and inspire.Without further ado, Robert Schumann's Symphony no. 1 in B flat 'Spring', Op. 38, the fourth movement, the allegro.

Exposure - The Album* Before we even get started, massive respect is due to Eric Tamm, whose exhaustive work “Robert Fripp - From King Crimson to Guitar Craft” is available online HERE and was a big help in preparing this episode.As we explain in more detail, there are several versions of this album, but this is basically what the listener was presented with in 1979About the lyricist on Exposure, Discogs has this to say:* Joanna WaltonReal Name: Joan Sheree LichtensteinAmerican poet, born 26 December 1942 in New York, New York, New York. Lyricist and one-time girlfriend of Robert Fripp. In 1982, she married George L. Sheanshang. She was killed on 21 December 1988 in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, U.K.In the liner notes of the Roches 1989 album, Speak, Terre Roche wrote “to the memory” of Walton, with whom she had worked on Robert Fripp's 1979 album, Exposure. HERE is another Fripp/Walton collaboration* * It's worth heading over to YouTube for this half-hour video of Fripp being interviewed on something called “Boffomondo” in the middle of his tour promoting ExposureWhat Came Before…The later CD edit has the applause at the end of 21st Century Schizoid Man fading out gently; for the full force of the door being slammed in the audiences face, you have to go back to the vinyl version……but Fripp had already been collaborating with Brian Eno. This is one of Tom's Favourites - …I think we all know about the David Bowie stuff, but did you know about this?…and everybody knows the second Peter Gabriel album, but had you heard this?…or even this? …which brings us to this. Fripp joins Blondie in a live performance of Donna Summer's I Feel Love, which the best disco song ever. This was to be on Exposure but … record labels.…And what came after…The Promotional Tour…which is the bit that really interests us. Armed with a farcically small amount of money from the record company, the “Small Intelligent Mobile Unit” set off with a guitar and two tape recorders to promote his new album by playing music that wasn't on the album in a selection of unusual venues…We both really love Hainbach, so here he is demonstrating how to do Frippertonics in the comfort of your own home.…and here's a breathless reaction videoIt's about time that the League of Gentlemen album was re-issuedSubscribe to Gas GiantsRSS https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/311033.rss This is a public episode.

This is a special memorial edition of this program and recognizes the 50th anniversary of the Rome airport attack. We are  joined by two survivors that were on a Pan Am plane that was firebombed at the Rome airport on December 17, 1973: Pan Am Flight Engineer Ken Pfrang and Pan Am passenger B.J. Geisler.B.J. is the author of the recently published book, Terror on Pan Am Flight 110. This episode is a follow up to "Episode 6: Hijackings and the Dawn of Global Terrorism." If you haven't heard this episode, we encourage you to do so after listening to this installment. In order to understand the gravity of global terrorism throughout the 1970s and 1980s, it is important to examine the 1967 six day war between Israel and neighboring Arab countries, the September 1970 hijacking of four airplanes all bound for United States, as a direct result of those hijacking…the subsequent Jordanian civil war also known as Black September(Sep. 1970- Jul. 1971), and the Munich Olympic attacks in 1972. These topics are discussed in Episode 6. In the early afternoon of Monday, December 17, 1973 at Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci Airport, a Pan Am Boeing 707, registration number N407PA, named Clipper Celestial was getting ready for departure with 53 passengers onboard and nine crew members. At around 12:51 local time, five members of a radical Palestinian terrorist group pulled out weapons from their luggage in the airport terminal lounge and opened fire killing two people. They then ran out of the terminal on the tarmac and then attacked the Pan Am jet by running up the boarding stairs of the front and rear doors and threw three hand grenades inside the plane. A total of 29 persons, including 4 senior Moroccan officials and 17 ARAMCO employees and family members were killed on the aircraft. Passenger Bonnie Presnell died later at the hospital with severe burns bringing the total killed from the attack on the Pan Am plane to 30. We remember them…The Pan Am Employees and Family:Diana Perez, Purser; Lambert Tununga, Pan Am Catering; Bonnie Erbeck, wife of Captain Andrew ErbeckMembers of the Moroccan government:Inani Abdelatif, Moroccan state secretary for economic planning; Mounlr Doukkali, Moroccan undersecretary of state for youth and sports; Mohammad Lazrak, general secretary at the Moroccan Ministry of Commerce and Industry; Mekki Zailacpii, attaché to the Moroccan Premier's OfficeARAMCO Employees and FamilyMuriel Berka, Henrietta Echmenn, Robert Ghormley, Charles Walker Heywood, Clarence Hildebrand, Thelma Hildebrand, Pamela Julavitis, Emily Kempf, Jane Kirby, Mary Martin, Bonnie Presnell, Edith Roundtree, Russell Turner, Mary Wamp, Margaret Wilson, Miss Wouters of BelgiumAdditional PassengersGiuliano DeAngelis, an employee of Alitalia, his wife Emma, and 9-year-old daughter Monica; Miss Filipe of Portugal; Raffaele Narcisco, an Italian mining expert; Miss Rodrigues of Portugal; A.

At the end of the show a question from Gerry Mulvenna. Recommendations: David: The Pigeon Tunnel - Apple TV Academy Award-winning documentarian Errol Morris pulls back the curtain on the storied life and career of former British spy David Cornwell — better known as John le Carré, author of such classic espionage novels as The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Constant Gardener. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Cold War leading into present day, the film spans six decades as le Carré delivers his final and most candid interview, punctuated with rare archival footage and dramatized vignettes. "The Pigeon Tunnel" is a deeply human and engaging exploration of le Carré's extraordinary journey and the paper-thin membrane between fact and fiction. https://www.apple.com/uk/tv-pr/originals/the-pigeon-tunnel/  The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life (Paperback) https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-pigeon-tunnel/john-le-carre/9780241976890  Stuart: The Boat Story - BBC Two strangers. One boat. Nothing to lose. An unexpected discovery could mean a second chance - or a bloody end. Dark comic thriller with Paterson Joseph and Daisy Haggard. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0glbknc/boat-story Eamonn: Lockerbie - Sky LOCKERBIE, a new mini-series that will be based on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and the search for justice by Dr Jim Swire and his wife Jane who lost their beloved daughter, Flora, in the air disaster in 1988. The five-part series will be written by Academy Award nominees Jim Sheridan (In The Name of The Father, My Left Foot) and Kirsten Sheridan (In America, Dollhouse). All 259 passengers and crew were killed when the bomb exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their life as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town. Thirteen years later, in 2001, Libyan national Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime and later released on compassionate grounds in 2009. Shortly after the Lockerbie bombing, one of the worst terrorist attacks in history, some families of the victims joined together to launch a campaign for truth and justice. Among them was Dr Jim Swire whose campaign has taken him to the sand dunes of Libya to meet face-to-face with Colonel Gaddafi, to 10 Downing Street to meet with successive Prime Ministers and to the corridors of power in the US where he worked with the American victims' groups to mount pressure on Washington for tighter airport security, well before 9/11. The moving series will explore events from 1988 to the present day, while providing an intimate account of a man, a husband, and a father who pushes his marriage, his health, and his sanity to the edge. https://www.sky.com/watch/title/series/8a3430f6-066b-3397-abec-1d72b380ed90 

In 1987, he met Jeffrey Epstein through a British defense contractor named Douglas Leese (died 2011), who Hoffenberg claimed was an arms dealer.[15] Leese was, with Saudi Adnan Khashoggi and Prince Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, architect in the billion dollar Al-Yamamah arms deal, Britain's biggest arms deal ever concluded – earning the prime contractor, BAE Systems, at least £43 billion in revenue between 1985 and 2007.[16] Leese told Hoffenberg about Epstein: "The guy's a genius, he's great at selling securities. And he has no moral compass." Hoffenberg hired Epstein about 1987 and 1993 to help with the Towers Financial Corporation, paid him $25,000 a month and gave him a $2 million loan in 1988 that Epstein would never have to pay back.[17][3] Hoffenberg set Epstein up in offices in the Villard Houses.[3] They unsuccessfully tried to take over Pan Am in a corporate raid with Towers Financial as their raiding vessel. Their bid failed, in part because of the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, which ultimately contributed to the airline's bankruptcy. A similar unsuccessful bid in 1988 was made to take over Emery Air Freight Corp.[3] During this period, Hoffenberg and Epstein worked closely together and traveled everywhere on Hoffenberg's private jet.[3][18][19] Hoffenberg began using Towers Financial funds to pay off earlier investors and pay for a lavish lifestyle that included a Locust Valley, New York, Long Island mansion, as well as homes on Sutton Place (in Manhattan) and in Florida, and a number of cars and planes.[3][20] In court documents, Hoffenberg claimed that Epstein was intimately involved in the Ponzi scheme.[21][22] Epstein left Towers Financial before it collapsed and was never charged for being involved with the massive investor fraud committed.[23][24]This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

I have known of attorney Mark Zaid by reputation for many years, given my own security clearance practice.  I recently ran across Mark's name again in the July/August 2023 issue of the Washington Lawyer Magazine which gets distributed to all DC bar members.  The article was titled  “Keeping Up with Pioneers in Evolving Practices” and it discussed Mark's work over the years.  His law practice, based in Washington, DC,  has included representing the families of victims of the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.  He  has a broad practice to include representing government whistleblowers and intelligence community members with security clearance issues.  He has a website to help whistleblowers. We also discussed his Freedom of Information/Privacy Act practice on this episode of the podcast.  As you'll hear, Mark has an affable and engaging personality and it is no wonder that he appears on various news programs as an expert commentator on a very regular basis!  I think you'll like hearing his story on this episode of the podcast. 

"Look back. Act forward." Those words influence how Syracuse University's Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholars honor and celebrate the lives of the people who were killed during the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the bombing, which claimed the lives of 270 people, including 35 Syracuse students who were on their way home following a semester abroad. Each October, the University community comes together during Remembrance Week events and activities—planned by that year's cohort of Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholars—to memorialize the victims and further educate the campus community about terrorism. Three alumni—Julie Friend '92 and Hannah (Visnosky) Rafferty '16 and Luke Rafferty '16—reflect on the significant impact the Remembrance Scholars program had on them, share their stories of why they wanted to become Remembrance Scholars, and explain how they continue to honor the lives of the University students who died on the flight.

Nearly 34 years after the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing, Abu Agila Mohammed Masud was taken into U.S. custody this week and accused of building the bomb that killed 270 people. Bert Ammerman lost his brother on that flight and traveled to Lockerbie, Scotland to see the crash site just days after. Ammerman, who is the former President for the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, joined host Dave Anthony on The FOX News Rundown to discuss his reactions to the arrest. He shared his experience trying to find just justice since the tragedy and spoke about his brother's legacy. He even explained why he believes that a stronger response to the attack could have prevented the events of 9/11. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Bert Ammerman and get more of his candid response to the arrest of Abu Agila Mohammed Masud and why remains convinced Iran was behind the deadly plot.

One of the biggest mass border crossings occurred over the weekend, with border officials confirming over 15,000 migrants crossing into El Paso, Texas in the span of 48 hours. This uptick in illegal border activity comes at a time when US Customs and Border Protection facilities are overwhelmed. The pandemic-era border policy Title 42 is still set to expire on December 21st, however many are warning that border agents will face a massive migrant influx once the policy is lifted. Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin covers the border and joins the Rundown from Mission, Texas to break down why the migrant surge is not seasonal but due to policy, what migrant interviews reveal about key motivations to migrate to America and border officials concerns about the end of Title 42.   Nearly 34 years after the incident, Abu Agila Mohammed Masud had his first court appearance on Monday on charges relating to the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. Masud is facing charges in the United States and is suspected of making the bomb that killed 270 people in Lockerbie, Scotland. Former President for the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 Bert Ammerman lost his brother on that flight. He joins the Rundown to discuss his reactions to the trial, his experience following the tragedy, and why he believes that a stronger response could have prevented the 9/11 terror attacks.   Plus, commentary by Fox Nation host Tammy Bruce.
