A City in Mourning The snow fell relentlessly on Munich Airport on February 6, 1958. The cold mirrored the sorrow that would soon blanket Manchester and the world of football. Aboard British European Airways Flight 609 were Manchester United's Busby Babes-a young, vibrant team who had taken the football world by storm under the guidance of their visionary manager, Matt Busby. But tragedy struck. After two aborted take off attempts, the third ended in catastrophe. The plane skidded off the slushy runway, crashing into a house and a fuel tank. Twenty three lives were lost, including eight players. The tragedy stunned the world. How could football recover? How could Manchester United rebuild? This is the story of those who rose from the ashes, From the darkest of nights to the brightest of triumphs.
