An excellent piece of television covering one of the worst terror attacks on UK soil. I vividly remember the event, being 18 at the time, and had particular interest in it as my parents were from the area of Dumfries and Galloway where the crash happened. The most damning outcome was the way that the families had to fight to find out what happened to their loved ones as Thatcher's Government, once again, strived to hide the truth from the bereaved. I'm from Liverpool, my husband was at Hillsborough, so am very familiar with having to fight for truth and justice. The drama covered the bereaved relatives desperation to uncover how they loved ones and died in stark, and poignant accuracy. The frustration of knowing that if one, or two things had been done differently then they may not have died is something that torments a person's soul. The callous treatment of not even being able to see a body is something that should not be imposed on another person. All to familiar themes from a Prime Minister, and Government, who put money and reputation before its people. I pray we never have to experience those times again. Bravo to the producers of the drama for highlighting these issues to well.
