- The tragedy that befell Pan Am Flight 103 in December 1988 has gone down as one of the worst terrorist attacks in history. Reggae legends Sly Robbie, Maxi Priest, Dean Fraser and a host of musicians were booked on that ill-fated flight but a strange last minute decision by Freddie McGregor saved their lives.

Wow, I had never heard this story. There was one Caribbean musician who sadly perished on that flight, the Vincentian calypsonian, Walter Porter. One day when I have time, I'd like to start doing some videos like these for calypso and soca music history, there are a lot of interesting stories there that need to be told as well.
Would love to hear them as I'm from the caribbean I love calypso an soca
Start now bruh....Time flies...😎
I definitely heard about Sly and Robbie missing the flight back then but not the complete story
A woman from Somerleyton rd Brixton was also on the plane can't remember her name
Yes you should.
Jah works, 🇯🇲in mysterious ways, and when you bring your life for serving the works of the Most High, it is a dispensation of magic, that sensible people cyan’t fathom. Ras Tafari, ever living ,ever sure. The 1 st , the Last, Alpha and Omega.🇲🇱
RAS dropping 💎 as usual. This one is really interesting. I feel that Freddie had a preminition mercifully so. Blessed love to Freddie I beg he is a lot better. ❤️ 💛💚🖤
Jah protect Freddie McGregor. 👏👏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
My sister and I were flying Lufthansa from Nairobi to Frankfurt on that day felt really weird when dad picked us up too much tension in the air only learnt about the accident when we got home and spoke to mom who kept asking if we are ok like 1000 times,may the passengers of PAN AM continue to rest in peace.
Freddie is a true man of God … deeply and spiritually rooted 🙏
No Matta Wha A Gowan, Always Me Seh Always FOLLOW & LISTEN to your SPIRIT🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲✌🏾👊🏾🙏🏾
Unreal story. Thank You.We could have lost Sly & Robbie...!!!!! Yow. We've lost enough Reggae Icons.
Condolences to all the bereaved. Peaceful rest to those whose lives were cut short. Give thanks for intuition & heeding that inner voice even when we can't "justify" it. May it always protect. 🖤💛💚❤
R.I.E.P
I met Freddie M back in the 90s. If I can say one thing about him. He is very humble.
He Seems L8ke It!❤👍

Thanks for sharing this sir 🙏 Nuff respect
U cry too much
@@NicotineRosberg , YOU will remember ME the next time you Cry.
,....( Wink )..
That was a close shave for them artists. I've never heard this before . At the time I was more into my pop music but maxi priest add a view records in charts in 1988 I was a bit of a maxi priest fan because he was born in the same hospital as me Lewisham.. who knows maybe Freddie McGregor add that silent voice from the gut not the brain that's the one what you have to listen to.. and I'm glad that all of the singers was ok but my heart goes out to the people who lost their lives in the plane crash . Evil evil terrorists and it's still going on to this day ..💯🇬🇧👍
CIA planted it.
I’m forever thankful for the decision Freddy made. May the dear Fan and all who perished on that terrible flight continue to rest 🙏🏾
Yes, I did remember hearing about this year's ago. They did all dodge a bullet 🙏Continue to RIP Robbie Shakespeare 🎤🎼🎶🇯🇲🇬🇩🇹🇹🇬🇾🇺🇸
Wow😮!!! Man, give thanks Freddie for that moment of divine inspiration🙏🏿...
Welcome Freddie McGregor he saved the lives of all these reggae stars. He’s so Godly so proud of him
Freddie McGregor is a great star and a wonderful human being. Bless him and our amazing musicians. 🙏🏼
My dear friend Joan Dater and her family lost their beloved daughter, sister, friend Gretchen Dater from NJ, on this flight. I will always remember You. Peace to each and everyone one who was apart of this and especially those who lost their lives. I Am a fan of all mentioned, so grateful they survived this tragedy. Jah Bless
Divine timing. Thank God their flight was changed 🙏🏽
Divine intervention
Amen!❤❤
Incredible story...First time hearing about this....Thank God for them..
This is very sad story, I did hear about it but I did not know it like your video. I lived in Trinidad as a child and came to England in 1988 to live. I remember hearing the story about the flight many times, it was an awful tragedy. RIP all the innocent people who lost their lives.
Freddie McGregor is one of my favourite Reggae artists, he has the most spectacular voice, definitely one of the greatest Roots artists ever. I'm so glad he made that choice to change everybody's flight.
Thankyou for this video
Reggae forever ❤💛💚
And glad the others agreed
@@melv2414
Of course. I'm glad they were all safe. They are all great Roots Reggae Legends and good people.
Praises be to the Most I JAH

Freddie McGregor is AMAZING! ❤
Thanks to the Most-High, they lived to pump out a catalogue high intensity and sophisticated reggae sounds. Jah Bless!🙏🏾🤲🏾📿
They were truly blessed avoiding that tragic disaster, god is great 🙏🏽
What an amazing tale. Well told, as usual. Thanks.
Give God thanks and praises ❤
So sad for those that didn't make it ❤❤
Awesome video...... thanks very much....... a lot of reggae fans probably didn't know that
I went to Suthermere Prep back in the day. Freddie brought his daughter to and from school every day. I used to watch them, and think, what a good father.
Shout Out To Freddie McGregor..❤🙏💥
The voice of man is the voice of God. Always trust you gut instinct
Man I Love Reggae as much as I Love Aviation. I knew of other air tragedies that took Musicians lives, but never knew of this one. Big Kudos I Dread!
Woe, I had no idea. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Huge fan of Freddie.
We loved some Maxi Priest in our house. when I was a young girl
JAH RASTA FARI LIVE. BIG UP FREDDIE
What an interesting story. I'd never heard it before ❤
In 2024 you can really see how the high standard and performance of Jamaican artists in music ,has really declined and fallen , when compared to these greats who set the standards very high worldwide, bringing spiritual joy , and real luv to their people.
High standards? The music is the same, singing about sex, slackness, guns, drugs, murder, money worship... nothing has changed but the times.
@@No_Frills_Carnivore Then you have not been listening to the right music.
@@Alyisha6 I've been listening to reggae and roots reggae all my life. Both of my parents are Jamaican. Maybe it's you who isn't listening to the lyrics. Maybe you don't understand them..? I can name many reggae songs from way before I was born that are full of sex, drugs and murder. I was born in 79. There are plenty. The music/lyrics haven't changed. Only time has.
Many Jamaicans are still doing excellent music.
Very true
Thank you for sharing this video and story with us, brotha.
Wow, this is some news.
I'm glad that TMH used Freddie McGregor to 'save' these young men from boarding that flight!
That was indeed a sad thing that happened to all those innocent people. However, it was a blessing for all those musicians that they missed that flight. God is good!!🙏🏾🖤💯
""INTUITION"" is usually an alert or guidance from the HOLY SPIRIT. ANGELS were keeping charge over them.
I remember the flight the divine spirit was at work through Freddie McGregor thanks for the remembrance
I knew about Max not going on the flight but I didn't know about the rest. Thanks for the knowledge
HEARD IT ON NEWS THE DAY AFTER.
GOOD OLD DAYS OF BBC RADIO.
KNEW ABOUT FREDDIE, BUT NOT THE REST OF THE GUYS THAT ALSO HAD TO BE ON 103.
THANKS FOR THE ADDED INFO.
JAH LIVE.
JAH GIVE.
JAH GUIDE.
JAH BLESS.
Great and interesting info RAS, thank you for the share - We remember those who perished and the families they left behind 🙏
Freddie McGregor great man great father great singer singer a true king gave that man is flowers from now dead serious
What ment for evil the Father turn in to good, the days when you could trust friends 😊😊❤
Brilliant story teller
Gracias ✌️
Thanx for this. I had no idea! We were at their show in Bham UK. May all the victims on panam 103 RIEP🙏🏽
I remembered hearing the same news a day later.
HEARD SO MANY STORIES ABOUT THE LOCKERBIE BOMBING....FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT FREDDIE MUST HAVE USE HIS SIX SENSE FOR HIM & HIS CREW NOT BOARDING THE FLIGHT. CONDOLENCES TO ALL THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES.
I heard that Sly and Robbie missed the flight but it seems that was just part of the story, thanks for the additional information.
I have had the privilege of meeting one reggae artists and seen two of them live in concert. I met in person rupee Edwards and in concert I see John Holt with Freddie McGregor brilliant brilliant. Get well soon sir.💯🇬🇧👍
Somewhere a little daughter, son, wife, girlfriend, unknown persons or a member of the group was praying for the group. I hope they all give thanks to God Almighty and have a prayer session.
No one does but delay death so keep breathing my people 🙏🏽
Freddie must have had a dream about the plane going down or something similar. Thank God Sly, Robbie and Maxi decided not to take the same flight after all. RIP to all those who perished and thank you for telling this story. It's my first time hearing it.
or it was a coincidence.
@@marfaxa I don't believe so.
Freddie had a dream to go shopping for family in a warm place… 😊
No dream...Just a decision similar to ones we make everyday, change of plans...It just happened they avoided that tragedy...The ones who perished(RIP) would have loved to have miss that flight too and lived longer...Robbie has now passed...Long life to the rest...That's life as we know it.....#Peace#Love..
@@markanthony1523 As a dreamer I know that some things come as visions before they happen. I'm not discounting the fact that it could be a total coincidence, but I honestly feel like God warned him in one way or the other before the trip.
Well done King !! Royal
Incredible story Ras! Thank you for your work, keep it up & JAH bless! ❤ 💛 💚
With tears in my eyes I'm watching this sorry for the lost of lives sad memories 🥺🥺 forever 💔 god works in mysterious ways he let dem young men went a different way irie 🇯🇲 brethrens keep praying ❤❤❤❤ much love everyone ❤❤❤❤❤
Shocking! Thank you for sharing.
I dreamt about this happening and was woken up and told the news. This was 21st Dec, my birthday. Terrible and evil.
Thanks for sharing this story. I have never heard this before. I was good friends with Maxi Priest’s cousin who is from St. Bess. Sometimes following our intuition is the way to go. Sadly, sometimes that feeling is overridden by other people’s influences. Guess the same can be said conversely. It’s call life. Bless up
Thamk you for sharing this.
JAH guidance!
I remember hearing about this at the time.
JAH is GOOD!
Yes Freddie, Jah Jah.
Crazy thing is I never heard of Maxi Priest until ‘90.
Yes Freddie is a lot better he is on tour of Africa where he stood up. God bless him with long life ❤️❤️❤️
🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥✝️ Hallelujah glory Amen, divine intervention .
Remind me of Richie labamba
I went to that 1988 show!
HalleluYah, ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST-HIGH YAHUAH for working through Freddie to save our talented artists going for a Miami shopping spree instead. Sad the fan travel agent died and all those people.
' Thats Amazing'.......
Freddy McGregor must have been inspired by ALUAH... that's why HE is merciful to him... recover soon Freddy we love you 😘💕
Give the message Freddie, because I'm not ready to receive those souls ,their work isn't completed
Wow!!!
Jah Bless
Give thanks to Jah Rastafari for he guides and protects us all from the wickedness that is Babylon 🇪🇹 🇯🇲 The power of the trinity works everyday thoughout the world seen🇪🇹All thanks go to Jah for saving our brethrens seen 🇯🇲 Rastafari liveth and reigns
FREDDY is also one
God bless Freddie McGreggor
Strange how they fly north west to get to New York from London😊..
Sometimes we have to listen to another person’s thoughts and prophetic words…even our own self talks to self and guides us on the right path…In everything give thanks…🙌🏽♥️😇☮️🗝🌿💯😊
WOW! Freddie was/is one of my favorite artists.However in 1989/90..I worked at an airline in Montego Bay Jamaica.Freddie was on an overbooked flight that was delayed.I had to rebook him to Miami I think.I got him upgraded to 1st Class on a flight.When I told him ,he didn't act like he cared.He wanted another flight on another Airline.I made it happen.For years I was turned off.I kinda understand why he was like that.Makes sense.At the time I was crushed .Ah..well .
Why y'all worrying about them being on the flight? Too much greatness on that plane for it to go down like that. God wouldn't have made it crash after he blessed us with everyone of these icons therefore, they all wouldn't have been gone in one hit like that, people relax.
You are joking. Planes have gone down carrying greater people. People who have made more impact on the world.
I did not know this
Can you pls help me with the title of the soundtrack playing in the background? Thank you
Thank God, they didn't board that flight. Praise Jah.❤️💚💛
Thank you.
I would love to see how Judy Mowatt is doing these days and what she is up to.
Maybe you could do a video?
Thank you !
Didnt the 'Taxi team' also played the Town & Country club in London on that tour ?
A problem with 'I just missed death flight' stories being the PAN-Am had taken off in Germany ( to fly to London)... English singer John Lydon of Public Image Ltd stated he ( & his wife Nora) missed this flight as Nora wasn't 'ready in time ' ...
Wow. That's all i can say.....
WOW!
❤️🍀❤️
💯💯💯💯💯
Chartered flights can be an option 👀
saved judy mowatt too ,remember black woman album
Freddie my Bredda. Alwys Hail him Up n a Miami. Smetng I did w My Mthr. Bcz of a Big Fuss, she Miss her Flight. Which Crashd n d Everglades. I Think Sprint Airlines.
NICE TO SEE A WEE VID ON ANYTHING TO DO WITH MISTY IN ROOTS.
What’s the title of the track playing in the background?
???
I heard about this from a cousin of Maxi priest that he just tore the ticket up but now I know
Background sound was disturbing to LISTEN to your reporting..
The Lord saved the RIGHTEOUS! And took the rest to his breast.
I thought you get off one plane then straight onto another at a plane stop and not have enough time to venture into town or city when a plane has a stop off point. Perhaps they could all find and afford there sleeping a accommodation etcetra and the plane stop wasn't immediate then. Different times and runnings then.

Who's Ras Dennis?
1:03 we just gonna look at that flight path and say nothing, yea 😂 why the fuck is that plane flying over Scotland
