BBC - Kegworth: Flight to Disaster (2026) 1080p HDTV x265 AAC MVGroup

It should have been a routine flight from London to Belfast. But on a January night in 1989, British Midland Airways Flight BD092 became the centre of one of Britain's worst air disasters. Mid-flight, the plane started violently shuddering. With smoke and smells of burning, pilots shut an engine down and diverted for an emergency landing in the East Midlands. Yards from the safety of the runway, the plane plunged into an embankment at the side of the motorway. Despite catastrophic damage and wreckage drenched in aviation fuel, remarkably rescuers found survivors.
