  Munich air disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Cup had been contested since 1955, although no English club took part in the very first tournament on account of Football League rules.
Domestic league matches were played on Saturdays and European matches were played in midweek, so although air travel was risky at the time, it was the only practical choice if United were to fulfil their league fixtures.
The club had chartered an aeroplane to fly them home from their European Cup match against the Yugoslavian team Red Star Belgrade, which ended in a 3-3 draw (United won the tie 5-4 on aggregate).

 ILO - Labour standards and industrial restructuring in Western Europe - Philip Raines
With the number of competitors growing and the size and nature of the European market continuing to change, many companies are aiming to maximise their productivity through decisions over how to allocate capital investment between plants located in different countries and the efforts to reorganize their workforces.
The level of concentration in European manufacturing sectors increased as a result of the surge of merger and acquisition activity that characterize the 'external' aspects of restructuring (Ramsay, 1995).
Of all Western European countries, Spain has the largest share of temporary workers in its workforce (32 per cent against an EU average of 9 per cent), accounting for 90 per cent of all employment contracts agreed annually (Blyton and Martinez Lucio, 1995).

Inspection of several British hospitals, both military and EMS hospitals, had revealed that they were equipped to carry on all phases of anesthesia such as would be conducted in British civilian hospitals, with the exception that, in military hospitals, provision was not made for the use of cyclopropane and carbon dioxide absorption (fig.

 STATISTICS OF TURKEY'S GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER
The infamy of executing this century's first full scale ethnic cleansing belongs to Turkey's Young Turk government during World War I. In their highest councils Turkish leaders decided to exterminate every Armenian in the country, whether a front-line soldier or pregnant woman, famous professor or high bishop, important businessman or ardent patriot.
Then there are the third-party reports, commentaries, and studies, published during World War I. Since Turkey fought on the side of Germany, it was in the interest of the French and British, who during the war years widely disseminated anti-German propaganda, to put the worst face on events in Turkey.
Subtracting from this the number of refugees that escaped the genocide (line 522--this is conservative, since many refugees returned to later be killed by the Nationalists) gives an estimate of those Armenians who died unnatural deaths (line 606).

When about to descend into a hollow tree or a chimney, its flight, always rapid, is suddenly interrupted as if by magic, for down it goes in an instant, whirling in a peculiar manner, and whirring with its wings, so as to produce a sound in the chimney like the rumbling of very distant thunder.
It is unknown in Newfoundland and Labrador; nor was it until the 29th of May that I saw some at Eastport in Maine, where a few breed.
