February 6th is a black day in Manchester United's history. What are the details of the Munich air crash?

1February 6, 958, a terrible disaster befell "Busby's children". After attending the European Club Cup and eliminating Red Star Belgrade, Manchester United and his party changed planes in Munich to fly back to England. On that terrible afternoon, Manchester United's G- Alzu -609 plane failed to take off twice. On the third attempt, the plane rushed out of the end of the runway and crashed into the building there. In this disaster, 23 of the 43 passengers on board were killed.

Head coaches Busby and duncan edwards were rescued from the ruins. German doctors saved the former, but the latter died at the age of 2 16 days later. Edwards is regarded as one of the most talented young people in the history of English football, and his death has so far made Manchester United and the British feel sorry.

Other Manchester United players killed in the air crash were tommy taylor, who was signed by Busby for 29,999. When asked why he didn't take an integer, Busby explained that he wanted to relieve the pressure on children.

Bill Whelan, Geoff Bent, Eddie Coleman, mark jones, david pegg, Walter Creekmore, Tom Curry and Potter Willie were all killed in the air crash, and Manchester United suffered an unprecedented blow. In the second half of that season, the club quickly signed some players, plus some players from the reserve team and the youth team, to piece together a team that could play. In the end, Manchester United won the second place, and bobby charlton, who scored 29 goals, became their new hero.

Genius era

In the following seasons, Manchester United entered a slow recovery period. Only the FA Cup of 15 and 1963 was a surprise. "Dark Horse" Manchester United beat Leicester in the final. Since the mid-1960s, Busby has led Manchester United to regain its glory. 1965 and 1967, the red devils won the league championship twice, and Manchester United stood up from the ruins of the Munich air crash.

1968 champions league is the most brilliant memory Busby left for Manchester United. There are many excellent players in this Red Devils team, such as bobby charlton and george best.
