Miracle that more weren't killed


6/ 6/2007

A REMARKABLE factor of the Stockport Air Disaster is that there were no fatalities on the ground.

   I was a 13 year old schooboy cycling to my Grandmothers on that fateful Sunday morning, as I turned left off the A6 near the old Infirmary I saw the aircraft drop and collide by the wingtip and dissapear into the valley. I franticaly rode to the spot to find local shop folk risking life and limb to get people out .Bits of the front of the cockpit had shot accross the road to the nearby car dealers, people were stuck in the aircraft screaming for help which never came after the explosion of the fuel tanks shortly after the Fire Brigade arrived and tried to hack thier way in, searing memories that will never leave me, I hope they never move the tribute spot from its original position, there are more useful development sites for Buisness and Housing within 1000 metres of this memorial to departed traveling folk.
