Her Love, His Flight, Their Story: The Longest Night

On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, a tragic event that claimed the lives of all 259 people on board and 11 more on the ground. For Helen Engelhardt, it was the day her world changed forever. Her husband, Tony Hawkins, was on that flight.

The Longest Night is Engelhardt's powerful audio memoir, a deeply personal account of the year that followed. More than just one woman's story of loss, this unique listening experience weaves together intimate conversations with family and friends, the voices of Lockerbie residents, and the journey of shattered families who united to form the "Victims Of Pan Am Flight 103," a powerful force for political change and emotional support.

At its heart, The Longest Night is a love story, a testament to a marriage cut short by a global tragedy. It is a story of grief, resilience, and the enduring power of community.
