Above link is to the official report at Manchester.
Very interesting reading if you have the time.

Was unfortunate enough to be at the field at the time. (There was a breeze that morning, 5 to 6 knots between 260 and 270.)
The most horrifying thing I have ever seen, it is bad enough when you see images of accidents on Television, but to be there and to have an immediate understanding that you are watching people perish and knowing the manner in which they are perishing is possibly the most terrifyingly horrific way to do so.
I must admit to seeing life very differently after that morning.
