  • The Kegworth Air Disaster occurred on 8 January 1989, when British Midland Flight 92, a Boeing 737-400, crashed onto the embankment of the M1 motorway near Kegworth, Leicestershire, England. The aircraft was attempting to conduct an emergency landing at East Midlands Airport. 47 people died and 74 people, including seven members of the flight crew, sustained serious injuries.

  • I was on this flight , and would like to think it made air travel safer but l'm not sure it did, they changed the brace position after it but the main issuses of communication seemed to get ignored , I have to live with it every day so spare a thought for the people involved when posting your comments

  • hunterlovell . you obviously have too much time on your hands to feel the need to comment on a 12 year olds spelling. get a life!

  • @breyerpaddy their, not there

  • R.I.P to everyone that lost there lives

  • WHO CARES WHAT KIND OF PLANE IT IS!?! This was one of those retro-style "breaking news flash" screw- ups.

  • It was a 737

  • All of you users, if you want to know what really happened, you can watch the programme called Motorway plane crash from seconds from disaster.

  • @davedavid86 It looks like Mel Brooks and it looks like the Golden Gate Bridge. That would make the film 'High Anxiety'

  • What was this movie before the newsflash? Paxman and Wark eventually would host Newsnight...

  • Not many people know this but some of the SAS who had just finished training, how do i know? (i read the book: SAS The Soldier's Story)

    read it, good book and well done to those SAS chaps who freed many trapped passengers, well done to all who hepled.

  • MY dad is friends with one of the servivours of that crash
