The music was thud like.
8th January 1989
In the Kegworth, Leicestershire Air Crash 47 people were killed and over 80 injured when a British Midland Boeing 737-40, G-OBME, jet crashed on the M1 motorway. Remarkably nobody travelling on the motorway was hurt. The aircraft had developed a problem in its left engine shortly after it took off from Heathrow. The pilots mistakenly believed that the fault was in the right hand engine which they shut down, leading to the crash, just yards from the runway of East Midlands Airport.
