Munich Air Disaster (British European Airways Flight 609) (S11E05)
S11E05
On February 6, 1958, British European Airways Flight 609 tragically crashed into a residential building just 300 meters from Munich's runway, claiming the lives of 23 out of 44 individuals aboard. The flight was transporting members of the illustrious Manchester United football team, along with club officials and reporters. The disaster was attributed to slush on the runway, which hindered the aircraft's acceleration and ultimately prevented it from taking off safely.
