On August 22, 1985, a British airplane experienced an engine failure and subsequent fire on the runway. The pilots aborted the takeoff, fire services responded promptly, flight attendants ran the evacuation with heartbreaking heroism - and the incident shocked the world when 55 people died, even though the plane had never left the ground.
In consequence, worldwide, we:
