This was amazing! I have been looking at Pan Am 103 lately for some reason and came upon this video. Thank God for the investigators and how they solved the case with the smallest items linked to big fish.
The forensic photographs labelled PP8932 were all taken by me. The piece of circuitboard was ringed by a red circle was not tiny. It was much larger than the circuitboard fragment photographed on Allen Feraday’s finger. Please do not embellish a presentation with nonsense when it is about such a serious offence.
Condescending concede shole. Talking crap about the people of lockerbie. Mocking a dialect. Talking down to his audience! “Ur crime scenes dont have as much evidence as mine” Let me give away my precious book. Thank god no one wanted it! Worst of all… he claims he solved this OPEN case in many jurisdictions its an open case douchebag!
the timer tied ti Libya is of pure lead not tin/lead coating. it was known in 1990 and kept out of report. the bomb went on board at Heathrow an hour before flight from Frankfurt. this can be proven. megrahi was 1000 miles away. the only i of 3 witnesses NOT to have evidence struck off, HID HIS GREED AND GOT 3 MILLION AT LEAST. THIS IS PROVABLE IN A COURT OF LAW AND in the science lab.
I have a birthday every day. Former Pan Am employee since 11.04.88. In Frankfurt cto. On this day 21.12.1988 I had late shift (1125 to 2000). My colleague didn't show up so from 1900 to 2000 I was alone and one minute someone called who wanted to call to my boss but I didn't had his number, He claimed that he knew who was responsible
Hello. I tried Acid Phophatase test on different body fluids for my study. Semen turns purple in ~20s with high concentration of semen but I was surprised to see that other body fluids make the test purple very quickly also : leap mucus in less than 3mn, saliva en around 5mns, eye swears in 7/8mns and even human sweat in around 10mns. So can it be considered as reliable test as it seems many other body fluids contain acid phosphatase and can react quickly (of course with lighter purple compared to semen based on what I saw) or at least it seems to be very difficult to interprete a result (My teacher told me also that several vegetable produce fully false positive such as tea). Does such test needs to be confirmed with other test as it seems highly possible to have false positive (or wrong interpretation dpeending on the time the stain will start to become purple). Thanks in advance
Hello and thank you so much for your question! The Acid Phosphatase test is presumptive and labs do not report out positive results of this test. They only report it out when it is negative on a surface stain. Semen is confirmed with either a sperm search or a the presence of P30. I have not seen all the cross reactions that you got. Our main cross reaction has been with Vaginal fluid.
@@dawonfields7360 Acid Phosphatase is an enzyme found in high concentrations in human semen. It is secreted from the prostate gland and cleaves phosphate group from molecules. It is the basis behind the Acid Phosphatase test which is a presumptive test for semen.
Hi Kirk! Enjoyed your video. Great information for our young men and women interested in forensic technology. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll be in touch. PC
The Iranians bought the clothes in Malta deliberately to frame the Libyans. The shopkeeper apparently got paid 2 millions pounds so his word can’t be trusted either. His story kept changing to fit what the detectives wanted him to say. The shopkeeper can not be trusted…Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi, was convicted due to the shopkeepers account, I belive he was wrongly convicted.
Thank you for these tips(even though I don't work in the forensics field), I work in manufacturing and use some harsh chemicals. I use the same concept with one small difference, I use my true size(medium) for the under glove and go up one size(large).
Another tip is to use baby wipes or soap and water to preform a quick decon(hand hygiene) depending on what you do. I usually work with metal and operate a machine with water and have to clean the metal before welding it. I use the outer glove for cleaning with chemicals, remove the outer glove, do a makeshift hand hygiene, and use the inner glove to handle clean parts. It does help save time
This guy is like some genius. All rubbish !! . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NUTp545PMgQ.html & watch Aljazeera investigation by some scottish investigators. serach for Thomas_Thurman Thomas Thurman was the FBI guy who did the Pam Am investigation. Later he was barred from going to any FBI lab and questionalble evidence. Pam Am and UTA flights he manupulated evidence.
This whole investigation was to get money from Libya. US ( FBI, CIA) totally controlled the investigation. Just like 911, now victims families in UK/Scotland want a new investigation. Only stupid families in US trusting what their corrupt govt says. There were no evidence what so ever. US paid $2M to the tailor for his testimony to say he saw thew man for less than 3 mins some 10 yrs ago !!. It is ILLEGAL to pay large sums of money to a witness. He did not want to testify because he knew he was lying. But CIA threatened him. FBI said they found "LRC" on a printed circuit board which used to trigger the bomb and that LRC traced the board to Libya. Those were the only evidence. Hell, every circuit board has these letters to say Resistor, Inductor & Capacitor. This is how pathetic FBI & US govt tried to influence Scottish judges. No one should ever trust the USA govt or US news media. 911, JFK, WMD, & so many
Except the Gauchi witness was flawed and paid off by the US, with huge statement inconsistencies. And the circuit fragment was not from the mebo timers sent to Libya because the circuit segment had inconsistent metal content. The Americans know what went on at Lockerbie and it’s almost certainly a miscarriage of justice and Iran / PFLP-GC cell involvement. the bomb Samsonite suitcase went on at Heathrow and was seen in a container when an airport baggage worker came back from his break, if you read Morag Kerr’s book. It did not go on at Malta into Frankfurt from the feeder flight.
I agree. People who have studied this case, know the truth. In 1988, 6 months before the bombing, Iran Air flight 655 was shot down in the Persian Gulf by a U. S. aircraft carrier. The day after the bombing, the PFLPGC, notified a media outlet and stated that it was revenge for the shoot down They need to stop covering up the truth. 😮
@13thnotehifireviews7......Please read my post about - which gives the REAL [substantiated] details of the Pan AM 103 bombing, including who carried it out and why.
What a load of absolute BS. The Libyans had nothing whatsoever to do with the bombing of this aircraft. Pan Am 103 was Iranian payback for Iran Air 655. The US Navy shot down Iran Air 655 four days before Eid Al Adha, the sacred feast marking the end of the Haj, and Pan Am 103 was was blown out of the sky four days before Christmas. Mr Ahmed Jibril and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command were congratulated on a job well done by the Iranian government and several million US dollars were also deposited into their Swiss bank account as payment. One of the so called Libyan bombers was acquitted of all charges and of the other one who was convicted, one Scottish judge refused to convict and of the other two Scottish judges who did, one stated that he was not 100% convinced of the suspects guilt. Anyone who is stupid enough to believe that Libya was responsible for this bombing must also believe that the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction and the Taliban were guilty of helping Al Qaeda bring down the World Trade Center towers. This guy is just spruiking pure US government BS, end of story.
The bomb bag was seen at Heathrow airport before the Frankfurt flight arrived in the same container and a brown samsonite suitcase as was known to have been involved. Almost certainly Iran and PFLP-GC
100% agree. Was doing my own digging into it because of few smoking guns and came to very same conclusion. All the evidence pointed to Iranian and Palestinian involvement. Of course the US gvt. wouldn't mention gun hoe trigger happy captain who caused the whole mess and should have been jailed immediately for his actions. That would open up a whole can of worms about how the US navy conducted themselves in the area at the time. Also the fact of so many empty seats on that flight considering it was only a few days before major holiday triggered my interest.
one small remark: he says the plane gets off the ground at 6:25 (true after a 25-minute delay) and explodes at 6:25. Wrong, the plane went down half an hour into the trip from London to New York at approximately 7:02. already at 7:02:50 ATC lost contact with the plane.
People need to take a much closer look at that so called cockpit section of the 747. Not in 100M years is that real. The plane blew (the claim) at 31,000 feet? What this chunk floated down at 5 miles per hour?? Really?? Yeh sure it did. Bodies laying out in fields not even strapped to chairs? 200,000 pounds of Avgas and the road did not burn or the rest of the village?? A crime scene and locals are driving past without police closing off the area?? Shall I continue??
According to our forensic scientists, anything that contains acid phosphatase should come back positive. So in theory, yes, but more research would need to be done to answer this definitively.
There are low levels of acid phosphatase found in other body fluids like vaginal fluid, so it may produce a color change, but not as strong as what is seen in semen.
