Kegworth, January 1989, flight BM092, B737 London-Befast.
1. Fire in engine #1 caused by fan blade failure.
2. Engine #2 shut down in error.
3. ANC got the aircraft to about 400m from the threshold of EMA but that was just where the M1 goes through a slight cutting. Aircraft ploughed into the motorway embankment.

Although not relatives I knew some of those who died and some who miraculously survived.
