About Ringway
The 1985 Manchester Airport disaster occurred when British Airtours Flight 28M (also known as Flight 328), an international passenger flight, was en route from Manchester Airport to Corfu International Airport. It caught fire on takeoff on 22 August 1985, resulting in 55 fatalities.
The aircraft, a Boeing 737-200,Read more
named River Orrin, was flown by British Airtours, a wholly owned subsidiary of British Airways. It had 131 passengers and 6 crew on the manifest. During the takeoff roll, a loud thump was heard, and takeoff was aborted. An engine failure had generated a fire and the captain ordered evacuation. The engine failure was later traced to an incorrectly repaired combustor can, causing it to rupture and its dome to puncture the left wing fuel tank. Most of the deaths were due to smoke inhalation, not burns; 82 people survived.
The accident was described as "a defining moment in the history of civil aviation safety". It brought about industry-wide changes to the seating layout near emergency exits, fire-resistant seat covers, floor lighting, fire-resistant wall and ceiling panels, more fire extinguishers and clearer evacuation rules.
