Thirty years ago this week, a plane travelling from London to New York exploded mid-flight over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. The town was strewn with debris, and the bodies of the 259 people on board as well as the 11 killed on the ground. Paul Hudson's daughter was a passenger and her death took a very heavy toll on his family, but months after the bombing her notebook was found in the wreckage, and Paul was able to take comfort in a message she'd written.
