Post mortem pathological examinations of other victims aboard the plane indicated no in-flight fire or other indications of shrapnells from any explosion. No evidence unequivocally indicated any passengers or crew members had been killed or injured from any explosive blast.So what killed them ? The majority of the people aboard Pan Am 103 died as a result of severe multiple injuries at different stages. In plain english this means they were literally crushed, hit, ripped apart and cut to death. People were killed as the aircraft disintegrated, as it hit ground, and some had been thrown from the aircraft fuselage during integration and at impact. Most bodies fell in clusters. About 60 victims fell near Lockerbies famous golf course at the towns east end. About 50 bodies landed together with the fuselage in Ellen Ramsdens garden. Some bodies were found in trees, some inside fragments of the plane, others lying spread-eagled in the mud. Death had reached them quick but violent. Some of the people aboard the aircraft have been conscious about their final fate all the way down.For some of them the fall took almost 2 minutes - the lack of oxygene in the uppe spheres might have let people meet death unconsciously, some might have regained consciousness when falling further down into oxygene-rich atmosphere. 2 bodies could not be identified. 658 bags of human remains are still to be identified. Only one woman survived the accident. But not for long. Scottish rescue workers found a woman on the ground with a pulse. But the pulse was gone 10 minutes later. The woman was never conscious, never lived to tell about her experience during those horrible minutes before the crash. http://plane-truth.com/Aoude/geocities/victim.html Flight 103 Crew Captain James Bruce MacQuarrie (55, US citizen, 10910 flight hours) First Officer Raymond Ronald Wagner (52, US citizen, 11855 flight hours) Flight Engineer Jerry Don Avritt (46, US citizen, 8068 flight hours) Purser Mary Geraldine Murphy (51, British citizen, 25 years seniority) Purser Milutin Velimirovich (35, US citizen, 10 years seniority) Flight Attendant Siv Ulla Engstrom (51, Swedish citizen, 28 years seniority) Flight Attendant Elisabeth Nichole Avoyne-Clemens (44, French citizen, 20 years seniority) Flight Attendant Noelle Lydie Campbell-Berti (41, US and French citizen, 18 years seniority) Flight Attendant Elke Etha Kühne (43, German citizen, 18 years seniority) Flight Attendant Maria Nieves Larracoechea (39, Spanish citizen, 17 years seniority) Flight Attendant Irja Syhnove Skabo (38, US and Norwegian citizen, 16 years seniority) Flight Attendant Paul Isaac Garrett (41, US citizen, 15 years seniority) Flight Attendant Lilibeth Tobila Macalolooy (27, US citizen, 3 years seniority) Flight Attendant Jocelyn Reina (26, US citizen, 11 months seniority) Flight Attendant Myra Josephine Royal (30, US citizen, 9 months seniority)
