Remembering Munich: fifty years on

I have been working at MUFC today on a very special day.  At 3.04pm on February the sixth 1958 A plane carrying the Manchester United Football team crashed killing 23 people, 8 of which were first team players.

On February the sixth, 2008, Hundreds of fans gathered at Old Trafford to remember.  I was able to capture some of the scenes at the stadium for this blog and you can see the slideshow by clicking here.

Any loss of life due to accidents is tragic however by remembering these people who died in Munich, it somehow felt that we were acknowledging many more innocent victims of disaster too.

Fifty years on
