	Manchester air disaster - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		On August 22, 1985, Flight 28M, a Boeing 737-236 flying the colours of British Airtours, took off from Manchester International Airport in Manchester in England, on an international passenger flight to Kerkira Airport on the Greek island of Kerkira.
		The fire found its way into the cabin, creating toxic smoke and causing the deaths of 53 passengers and two crew, 48 of them from smoke inhalation.
		The incident raised serious air safety concerns over the standard aircraft emergency evacuation time of ninety seconds, since passengers were unable to escape despite the last passenger emerging after more than five minutes.

	Munich air disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Munich air disaster occurred on February 6, 1958, when Flight BE609, a British European Airways "Elizabethan" class Airspeed Ambassador charter aircraft G-ALZU 'Lord Burghley', carrying players and backroom staff of Manchester United F.C., plus a number of journalists and supporters, crashed in a blizzard on its third attempt to take off from Munich-Riem airport.

		The Manchester Evening News (April 22, 2005) reported that the survivors had not been consulted and were concerned about how accurate the film would be.

		Civil Aviation Authority officials said their air worthiness branch would also be conducting an inquiry for which a committee would be constituted shortly.

		In the prevailing conditions the station engineer was not expecting an imminent arrival and only realised that Zulu Uniform, the Manchester charter flight, had landed when it taxied on to the parking apron.
		The descent into Munich through 18000 feet of cloud required switching on of the anti icing which permitted hot air heated to 60 degrees centigrade by fuel burners in the wing to be vented under pressure via ducts at the leading edges of the wings, tail plane and fin.
		The German refueller, therefore, had little problem maintaining a foot grip as he walked over the wing, which was just as well, for he soon became an easy target for the snowballs thrown by the Manchester party as they disembarked for refreshments in the terminal building.

	Aviation Firefighting
		Investigations following the Manchester Air Disaster in 1985 showed that the fire on the British Airways aircraft spread from the wing, through the aluminium skin and into the interior within 1 minute, causing the death of 55 passengers.
		A 10.5m ladder may be needed to fight fires on engines that may be positioned high up near the tail of the aircraft, or to reach a door into the aircraft for example.
		As you can see, the job of an airport firefighter is anything but dull, and with air travel becoming an increasingly popular method of transportation, the range and number of incidents are likely to become even more interesting.
