I vaguely remember the 50th anniversary. If I recall correctly the bridge was so packed with people that it was a strain on the metal!
Good thing it was built in a time when these things were meant to last.

Gentleman Jim, you really are wasting your time here. Despite the overwhelming evidence that Al Magrahi was innocent of this outrage, you will never convince the American Firsters with their closed minds otherwise. You may as well urge Count Dracula to get up at sunrise and eat more vegetables!
Why are you referring to the so called "American Firsters" in this context.
As I recall the trial for Magrahi was held in Scotland before a group of Scottish judges with appellate jurisdiction held by the courts of Scotland.
Blame the Scots, even if it doesn't fit your agenda.
The USA owns Scotland. By a 5-1 score in fact.

As for the Lockerbie bomber, it's interesting to find people who think he was innocent. Not that anything around here surprises me anymore.
That is for sure.
I don't quite understand where the two of you are going with this. Are you trying to say that miscarriages of justice do not take place? Are you implying that courts do not make mistakes? A quick google will expose a number of cases recently where in the US it has been found beyond all doubt that innocent men were convicted of crimes they did not commit and subsequently executed. If you take the time to google and read, how can you then not be left with questions as to the robustness of the case against Megrahi.
It sounds like the argument here is, "Different courts have made mistakes in the past before therefore in this case he must be innocent".
My original statement above about this isn't meant to be cryptic. I haven't read about the Lockerbie case in great detail (since the 1980;'s anyway) but until this thread, I never read that Megrahi was innocent.
In general I don't like conspiracy theory believers because for some reason they tend to believe ALL conspiracy theories. If one believes in the 9/11 conspiracy, they most likely also believe the moon landing was faked, that Kennedy was killed by someone in the grassy knoll or that Obama was really born in Kenya. I've a friend on Facebook who manages to post several videos a day about various conspiracy theories. He's a friend, but that doesn't make him sane.
