I've been very keen to see this documentary again, having watched it without remembering to tape it in 1998. Presumably it's because of Savile's appearance that it has never been repeated, couldn't he just be cut so this wonderful programme can be appreciated on TV again ? Thanks so much for uploading, when I saw it in 1998 I thought that Duncan's poor mother saying she never told him she loved him was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever seen, I wept again when I watched it tonight.

@STOPTHEEU "And at the Nou Camp in 1999, on matt busby's birthday, oh it was party time. Take me home, United Road.."

[@STOPTHEEU]

@Taczka777 I'm glad Busby and Charlton live on. I'm proud of the bravery of our goal keeper, I am sorry so many died and I am thankful for the German medics who did everything they could. R.I.P Busby babe,. 99 and 08 were for you.

This disaster only happened because the runway was covered in snow and ice, and the aircraft was unable to reach take off speed

[@dondamon4669]

How come Matt Busby or the owners of Manchester United or whoever made them take the flight faced any charges? It's incredible that no one went prison for this? How Matt Busby lived with himself is beyond me! He was there manager there boss the person who told them what to do and he was more worried about a FA fine then the lifes of the players coz anyone with any sense would not of got on the plane!!

[@add1ization]

what a team and what a sad loss to us all keep the red flag high

[@STOPTHEEU]

@TheBlueDevilz I never understood why its United road. Apart from the fact it rhymes its actually Sir Matt Busby Way! MUFC for ever, even if Fergy is a Labourite!
