My Brother's Bomber, Part One (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

[@GGW4MIKE]

I always look forward to the PBS docs. They are always interesting and really well produced. I could watch all day!

[@robertcece6972]

I almost spent 1/2 hr looking for something to watch, was about to close YT then PBS came up. Not only do they do excellent content but the stories are good & stop me from falling asleep. =]

[@tashvelez7286]

I totally agree. I watch there Documentaries even when I'm not even interested or knowledgeable on the topic. They do a great job at telling a story.

[@smc2673]

My husband's best friend's sister was on this flight. The pain and suffering the families go through still lingers decades later. Prayers to everyone affected.

[@honorbean2973]

Tell your husband's best friend to look into Bernt Carlsson who was onboard that plane. Mr. Carlsson was the United Nations Commissioner for Namibia.

On the 3rd July 1988 the USS Vincennes, a US warship deployed in the gulf blew an Iranian passenger jumbo out of the sky (Iran Air Flight 655). The USS Vincennes was nicknamed Robo Cruiser by the rest of the US fleet because of its aggressive nature. Lockerbie happened on 21st December 1988. This documentary starts 6 months too late.

[@Shunyas]

Frontline PBS may not be concerned with the Iranian passenger jumbo being blown up because no white man died.

Something I heard and read was so true that I myself would not understand it, until I heard it! When people say that there is something being done about the death of a loved one that is going to help bring closure to a death! This is so haunting horrifically wrong with and for the individual's who lost there loved one, truly never really sees closure, it's a way to feel we recognize it and now we need to move one! Now I say there always needs to be a something we can do, prevent or help the individual that lost their loved one absolutely, but we need to remember that those who lost their loved one never receives complete closure, reducing or a end to their suffering of their loss!! We need to remember this every time, but still tries to ensure we as a society will stop, reduce the likelihood or prevent the impact of the causes of that death of a loved one! As a former Fire Chief and Paramedic I have told family and friends that there loved one is dead is extremely important exhausting, a bit of my sanity is removed, and that I choose my words very carefully because I will be that one person that will always be the one who told them that their loved one is dead! I as the leader or most senior need to do this so that another person doesn't have too! I do this because it is my calling from God and at the same time trying to reduce or ensure something positive comes out of typically the worst time of that individual's life! If I know what caused that loss or issue I always try to ensure justice or something that can be done to stop the loss! Every single life is priceless even if that same life or individual doesn't believe it! One individual can change a nation or thousands or millions of people in hundreds or thousands of years in the future! When someone commits suicide they bring others down in their despair by taking their own life! By showing love and compassion, can change a individual life to direct there lives from evil to non evil! I have mad respect for this guy's brother to personally find out what happened is exactly what my brother or I would do!

[@msjusticeamerica4362]

It wasn't a person...the day was a whole false flag event from NYC and Pentagon to this flight. Planned by HW and Jr and Jeb Bush. All about war and making the money war brings. The NESARA/GESARA was to be be announced that morning as well. He (HW) confessed ar GITMO right before he was executed...so were Jr and Jeb...possibly Laura as well. This dirty excuse for a human was also heavily involved in the assassination of JFK. Some will say this is conspiracy theory but the truth will one day come out. I'm just happy I don't have to share air with them ever again. May they all burn forever burn in the very depths of Hell.

The documentary as narrator's personal emotional journey has run its course --- it's difficult to watch any more of them.

[@IanSinclair11021949]

Life is too short. Agreed. The facts, m'am, nothing but the facts. Then we can draw our own conclusions. We want the truth, not entertainment. We haven't got time to amuse ourselves to death. There is a suggestion that the Maltese witness was paid $US3 M. for his testimony. It was inconvenient at the time to look at Iran as potentially culpable.

[@HomeAtLast501]

@@IanSinclair11021949 It's just become a trite form that, in its current practice, is disingenuous. The narrators are pretending that they are speaking extemporaneously, yet it's always scripted, delivered in emotionally flat, stilted language that is too neat at the edges, and over-wrought. Of course, that over-scripting has been a hallmark of Frontline for decades with its interviews. Or, similarly, with producers/directors like Ken Burns.

[@IanSinclair11021949]

[@ChippeWAjawsh]

That kids vocab is amazebullz....

[@TidalWaveDan]

In order to believe Ghadafi/Libya was responsible you’d have to first trust the United States government. That was hard to do then and has been increasingly harder to do since. If you’re curious about my skepticism, look into Operation NorthWood.

[@joelfernandez536]

Well Qaddafi most certainly paid for it in the most horrific way imaginable...eventually. Justice can be seriously bizarre sometimes. But there certainly still should be an active investigation into the other operatives' identities.

[@dubaiedge]

Yeah, 259 people got their "release" from the plane, but compassion had nothing to do with it. Those of us who lost a relative on this routine flight turned into an explosion were left with nightmares repeating their fall from a great height, reaching out in the black to grab onto anything at all to break the plunge down thirty one thousand feet, but clutching nothing except wet night air in their palms. Nothing to grab for about three whole minutes of spinning freefall. At least they were unconscious before ground hit. Right?

[@dubaiedge]

@@4REALLL then why'd Gaddafi pay out 2.7 billion on behalf of Libya? "Over three years, investigators from the United States, Britain, Germany and other countries questioned more than 15,000 people in more than 30 countries and collected thousands of pieces of evidence." That's a lot of money for something Libya had no responsibility for.

As we watch this video, people all over the world, especially in Mid East, are dying--bombed to pieces, children are maimed, shot in the head, body parts in local bazzars, and what not. Our drones killed quite a few innocents-of all ages and all genders. Our direct intervention caused so much suffering to the entire region, that only cognitively dissonant individuals can ignore. Who are making documentaries for them? Do we have any idea how many brothers and sisters all over the world lost their Davids because of us, because of US? Until we respect each others' loss and suffering, until we appreciate the fact that our pain an sorrow and loss are as traumatic as that of others around the world, we run the risk to suffer and hurt each other as if caught in a vicious cycle. Although this documentary is a personal journey, and individual search for closures, it takes place on the murky trails of geopolitcs, where Americans and Western victims had just been one side of the casualty list; there had been other sides, about whom there had never been and possibly never will be any closures.

Libyans didn’t do it 🤦🏽‍♀️🤬!!!! That’s what they want the world to think, The FACT is, everyone in govt knows exactly who is behind this too whether they say it or not, and it’s Iran, PERIOD. PFLPGC was contracted/paid BY IRAN for this, and all the warnings and alerts were there, the evidence was there and initially everyone knew where we should be looking, yet seemingly inexplicably months later they take a sudden left and say LIBYA, with a far reaching accusation, to protect interests and military, as well as CIA and intelligence activities taking place etc etc too much to detail here. But if you’re curious, just check it out the evidence is avail out there, his attorneys, Jim swire, books etc have excellent evidence and not the nonsense presented here, i Normally like frontline but it angers me here we are again propagating a false story we’ve known for awhile is suspect at best

[@pkernoob786]

No offense, but the doc doesn't really start until 11 minutes in. Leading up to that is a lot of dramatic life stories and recollections of sad family members.
