The Final Moments

Alan Topp, an air traffic controller at Prestwick Airport, Scotland, heard the final words from the flight.

“Clipper 103 requesting oceanic clearance…” Another air traffic controller thought he heard a faint sound on the radio soon after. Alan Topp watched a cross move across his radar screen. This cross showed the location of Flight 103, and how high it was flying. At 7.02pm, the cross suddenly disappeared from the screen.
