"The Kegworth air disaster in 1989 killed 47 people and left wreckage strewn across the M1. Despite the catastrophic damage it caused, a remarkable number of passengers survived the tragedy 25 years ago. This is their story."

Be warned there are some upsetting images in the videos..

At the time my uncle (on Mum's side) and his family lived at Loughborough, and it did put the wind up me when I saw Loughborough on the map on the news, as when we went to visit, we used to sit in the back garden watching the planes fly low directly over the garden on the way into the East Midlands Airport.

I live in Loughborough Liz and when you come down the motorway and a plane comes into land it is quite scary how close they are.

such a tragedy and must be so hard for the survivors to cope with ca99
