A British Airtours Boeing 737 with 131 passengers and 6 crew was taking off from Manchester Airport on a charter flight to Corfu. As the aircraft approached take-off speed an engine disintegrated rupturing a fuel tank and starting a fire. The crew brought the aircraft to a halt and start an emergency evacuation. Eighty-two of those on board managed to escape. Fifty-five were killed by the fire or its effects.
As the aircraft slowed the crew steered it to take a runway exit. This put the fire upwind of the fusalage. Thus the wind blew flames towards the passengers. The enquiry noted that had this not happened then passengers would have had more time to escape.
