The aircraft was carrying the Manchester United football team, nicknamed the " Busby Babes ", along with supporters and journalists.

Manchester City won 2–1 thanks to first-half goals from Darius Vassell and debutant Benjani. The programme for that match showed simply a blank space where each United player's name should have been. They also held the FA Charity Shield and had just advanced into their second successive European Cup semi-finals. [87] Manchester United ultimately won the match 8–4, with goals from Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Jordi Cruyff, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Alex Notman (2) and Cantona, while Papin, Blanc, Martin Dahlin and United player Mark Wilson were the scorers for the European XI.

[34] Thain expected the speed to rise, but it fluctuated around 117 knots before suddenly dropping to 112 knots (207 km/h), and then 105 knots (194 km/h). [91], A memorial service was held at Old Trafford on 6 February 2008 to mark the 50th anniversary of the disaster. [29], A few of the players were not confident fliers, particularly Liam Whelan, who said, "This may be death, but I'm ready". “You won’t go through this alone.”. An investigation by West German airport authorities originally blamed Thain, saying he did not de-ice the aircraft's wings, despite eyewitness statements indicating that de-icing was unnecessary. The pilot was not identified. [25] After the second failure, passengers retreated to the airport lounge. "[28], Thain told the station engineer, Bill Black, about the problem with the boost surging in the port engine, and Black suggested that since opening the throttle more slowly had not worked, the only option was to hold the plane overnight for retuning. 1. [108] Fellow survivor Harry Gregg was more concerned about the portrayal of the players, particularly those who died, and whether their families' feelings would be respected. He also met Vera Lukić, the pregnant mother whom he had rescued and Zoran, the son she bore two months later. These include a menu card signed by 14 of the players, including the eight who were killed, a photograph taken at the meal and a match ticket. [93] Originally, there was no plan to observe a minute's silence on the day, because the Football Association feared that the silence would not be respected by fans of Manchester United's rivals. [35] Rayment shouted "Christ, we won't make it! [92][96], At the derby match between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford on 10 February 2008, both teams were led onto the pitch by a lone piper playing "The Red Flag", and the managers – Sir Alex Ferguson and Sven-Göran Eriksson – each laid a wreath in the centre circle.

The original plaque was stolen in the 1980s and replaced by a replica now behind the counter in the press entrance. [16] He retired from the RAF to join BEA. The plaque was designed by Manchester architect J. Vipond and constructed by Messrs Jaconello (Manchester) Ltd. at a cost of £2,100,[75] and unveiled by Matt Busby. [86] Due to Cantona's acting career, his schedule meant that he would not be available in February 1998 and the match was moved to 18 August, with the opposition to be a European XI chosen by Cantona; the side selected by Cantona featured the likes of French internationals Laurent Blanc, Pascal Vahirua and Jean-Pierre Papin, England's Paul Gascoigne, former Manchester United players Bryan Robson and Mark Hughes, and Cantona's brother Joël.

[89] The club has also received criticism from some quarters for its poor treatment of the survivors: Johnny Berry was forced to leave the flat he rented from the club to make way for a new player. Thain was anxious to stay on schedule and suggested opening the throttle even more slowly would suffice. With seven players dead (Duncan Edwards died just over 24 hours later), and with only Harry Gregg and Bill Foulkes fit to play out of the surviving players, United were desperate to find replacements with experience, so Murphy signed Ernie Taylor from Blackpool[63] and Stan Crowther from Aston Villa. On seeing flames around the cockpit, Thain feared that the aircraft would explode and told his crew to evacuate the area. [81], There is a small display of artefacts in the Majestic Hotel, where the team stayed after the match. [84] Edwards was hesitant, but a benefit match was eventually sanctioned for a date as close to the 40th anniversary of the disaster as possible. [82], In late 1997, John Doherty (a former United player who had left the club shortly before the disaster)[83] approached club chairman Martin Edwards on behalf of the Manchester United Former Players' Association to request a testimonial for those victims of the Munich disaster – both the survivors and the dependants of the ones who were lost.

[75] The final memorial was the Munich clock, a simple two-faced clock paid for by the Ground Committee and attached to the southeast corner of the stadium, with the date "6 Feb 1958" at the top of both faces and "Munich" at the bottom.

At times, he felt like giving up football entirely, until he was told by his wife, Jean, "You know Matt, the lads would have wanted you to carry on. When the original negative was examined, no snow or ice could be seen, the "snow" in the original having been due to the sun reflecting off the wings, which was clarified when examining the negative rather than the published pictures which had been produced from a copy negative.

Four Palmas stars and the club president have been killed after their plane crashed on take-off.

[25] A second attempt was made three minutes later, but called off 40 seconds into the attempt[26] because the engines were running on an over-rich mixture, causing them to over-accelerate, a common problem for the "Elizabethan". [97] Kevin Parker, secretary of Manchester City's supporters club, had suggested a minute of applause instead of a minute's silence, so as to drown out anyone who would disrupt the silence,[98] but this was rejected by the Manchester United management as inappropriate.

Mal Kimmel, a 21-year-old lineman, was one of 31 people who died in the plane crash. [75] This third version was constructed by stonemasons Mather and Ellis from Trafford Park, and the second was put into storage.

Before the game, pictures of the players who lost their lives at Munich were displayed on big screens, and the England players wore black armbands. [8] The takeoff from Belgrade was delayed for an hour after outside right Johnny Berry lost his passport,[9] and the plane landed in Munich for refuelling at 13:15 GMT.
