Two SUNY Oswego students studying abroad—Colleen Brunner ’90 and Lynne Hartunian ’89—were among the 270 people who died in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988. The bombing was one of the first major terrorist attacks on Americans and the largest terrorist attack in American history until 9/11.
