The Munich tragedy.
How MU disappeared and was reborn
In 1958, more than half of the legendary Red Devils team died in a plane crash.
The MU players on the day of the disaster.

On February 6, 1958, the world lost a whole cohort of great football players who played for the English "Manchester United".
Then the "red devils" were returning to their hometown after a successful second match of the quarterfinals of the European Champions Cup against Belgrade's "Cervena Zvezda".
At that time, air travel was classified as a high risk category, but United had to use an aircraft to catch the domestic championship game.
At that time, the volume of aircraft fuel tanks did not allow British Airways to make non – stop flights over such distances as the Belgrade Manchester flight.
Therefore, after taking off from Belgrade after a 3-3 draw, which ensured the team's passage to the semifinals, the plane made a scheduled landing in Munich for refueling.
Disaster
For myself and for that guy: the revived Lokomotiv starts in the KHL
The pilots twice tried to lift the ship into the air, but each time they refused the attempt due to increased vibrations in one of the engines.
By the time it was time to make a third attempt, a heavy snowfall began in Munich.
But, despite the bad weather, the captain of the plane decided to try to lift the car into the air.
However, as a result of the snowfall, a large amount of wet snow accumulated at the end of the runway, which led to the tragedy.
The liner could not get off the ground, crashed its wing into a house and crashed.
As a result of the disaster, 23 people died out of 44 who were on board at that time.
21 passengers were killed on the spot and two more died as a result of their injuries.
Eight football players, three representatives of the coaching staff, eight journalists, two crew members and two third party passengers who were flying with the MU were killed.
Of the surviving football players, only three are still alive: the legendary Bobby Charlton, Bill Foulkes and the goalkeeper who helped save the rest of the passengers after the disaster, Harry Gregg.
The main culprit of the tragedy was named the captain of the plane, James Thane, who was accused of trying to take off at a time when the wings were not completely cleared of ice and snow.
However, the witnesses said the opposite.
Tain managed to get acquitted only ten years later – in 1968, when it was proved that the disaster occurred due to wet snow accumulated on the strip.

Similar cases
The tragedy in the "Luzhniki" is 30 years old, and there are no fewer secrets and scandals
But the MU is not the only football club that suffered as a result of the plane crash.
The world remembers many other tragedies that played out in the sky.
Nine years before the Munich disaster, the world lost one of the greatest Italian teams at full strength.
On May 4, 1949, the local team "Torino" crashed in the sky over Turin, returning from Portugal.
At that time, the Bulls had won four Italian championships in a row and were in first place, preparing to celebrate the victory for the fifth time.
As a sign of solidarity, the opponents played all the remaining games in the championship against Torino with youth squads.
As a result, the Torino team still won the Scudetto.
There were also plane crashes in the history of Russian football.
On August 11, 1979, Pakhtakor Tashkent set off on its last flight – to the USSR championship game against Dynamo Minsk.
By a tragic accident, the Tu 154 with football players on board collided with another vessel at an altitude of 8,400 meters.
No one managed to survive.
In the remaining matches, the team was recruited by volunteers from other clubs, and later a decree was issued that guaranteed Pakhtakor a place in the first division for the next three years, despite the results of their games.
The last such case occurred with a football team almost twenty years ago.
On April 27, 1993, while returning from a game for the right to play at the World Cup with the national team of Senegal, a plane with players and coaches of the national team of Zambia crashed.
The tragedy occurred over the sea off the coast of Gabon.
18 football players were killed.
