    Weekly Safety Report: Lockerbie Flight Bombing Anniversary and Spring Valley Police Department Expansion

    2023-12-23

    This week in Rockland County, New York, two incidents were bookmarked for the weekly safety report. The first incident commemorated the 35th anniversary of the Pan Am Lockerbie flight bombing, which claimed the lives of 270 people, including seven individuals from the Hudson Valley. The second incident highlighted the groundbreaking ceremony for a building expansion project at the Spring Valley Police Department, aiming to enhance the locker rooms and create a new evidence room.

    A Valley Cottage man, who was supposed to be on the Pan Am Lockerbie flight, shared his story of missing the flight that was bombed mid-air over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. The bombing resulted in the deaths of all passengers and 11 individuals on the ground.
