Heaven and HELL-50th Anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster
Time :
9 : 9
A Tribute to the unsung Heroes of Manchester United 50th Anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster The Munich air disaster took place on February 6, 1958, when British European Airways Flight 609 crashed on its third attempt to takeoff from a slush-covered runway at the Munich-Riem airport in Munich, West Germany. On board the plane was the Manchester United football team, nicknamed the Busby Babes, along with a number of supporters and journalists. Twenty-three of the 44 passengers on board the aircraft died in the disaster. The European Cup had been contested since 1955, although no English club took part in the very first tournament on account of Football League rules. Manchester United entered the 1956-57 tournament and reached the semi-finals, being knocked out by eventual winners Real Madrid; they were thus one of the favourites for the 1957-58 tournament. Domestic league matches were played on Saturdays and European matches were played midweek, so although air travel was risky at the time, it was the only practical choice if United were to fulfil their league fixtures. Their team was known as the Busby Babes, a reference to their manager Matt Busby and to the average age of the players, which was unusually young. Manchester United after the crash Seven of Manchester United's players died immediately, and Duncan Edwards died from his injuries on 21 February. Two other players had to retire because of their injuries. Matt Busby was seriously injured and had to stay in hospital for some time after the crash, and was read his last rites twice. There was speculation that the club would fold, but a threadbare United team completed the 1957-1958 season, with United's coach Jimmy Murphy standing in as manager.A team largely made up of reserves and youth team players beat Sheffield Wednesday 3--0 in the first match after the disaster. The programme for that match showed simply a blank space where each United player's name should have been. Although the team's league results were poor they reached the final of the FA Cup, losing 2--0 to Bolton Wanderers. Busby resumed managerial duties the following season and eventually built a second generation of Busby Babes, including George Best and Denis Law, that went on to win the European Cup a decade after the disaster in 1968, beating Benfica. Crash survivors Bobby Charlton and Bill Foulkes were two of the other players who lined up in that team.

Get Outta Town: Munich, Germany
Time :
0 : 33
NOT YOUR PARENTS TRAVEL GUIDE! Traveling doesn't just involve planes, trains and automobiles -- despite the fact Barbara, standing in Munich's famous city square, or marienplatz, first introduces this city as a place known for its BMWs, Mercedes, Volkswagens and speed limitless highways (autobahns). In Munich, Get Outta Town is transformed into "get around town" as Barbara has 20 places she wants to see in this Bavarian city -- but she only has one day to see them all! She enlists co-host Kris, along with a number of different modes of transportation, to help her see the sites as fast, and as fun, as possible. First, Kris and Barbara each hop on a scooter, and glide past the famous Glockenspeil Chime. Pushing themselves along, they pass by the Schloss Nymphebuerg Palace, the largest Baroque palace in Germany. Then, they roll right into the futuristic-looking BMW museum, with old, modern and concept cars. Next, it's off to Kris's favourite skate shop. Here they park their scooters and get outfitted in skateboard gear. Kris teaches Barbara the basics of boarding, and they make their way to Euroskatehalle, an inline skating roller-rink. Perfect timing! It's ladies' night, and they are fitted with roller blades and skate to funky German music. But, when you've only got one day to see the sights, the party has to end! Barbara and Kris continue to make their way through town and the pass the Residenz, a fortress-like palace used from 1385-1918. They stop for a drink at a hip café and then it's off to The Devil's Footprint, located at Munich's main church where legend has it a chilling wind blows, as the Devil himself once visited. With time running out, it's time to hop on a bike! The hosts head to the Englisher Garten and see the Chinese Tower and Monopterus, a biking and blading hot spot. Back on roller blades, Kris takes Barbara to Munich's very own surf spot -- a standing wave called Eisbach. Barbara suggests they end their amazing day with a trip to a traditional German restaurant, and here they are in for a real treat. Both hosts get fitted with traditional German lederhosen and they join the restaurant's musicians on stage in singing and dancing.

lyrics to The Flowers of Manchester One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany, Eight great football stalwarts conceded victory, Eight men who will never play again who met destruction there, The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester Matt Busby's boys were flying, returning from Belgrade, This great United family, all masters of their trade, The Pilot of the aircraft, the skipper Captain Thain, Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again. The third time down the runaway disaster followed close, There was a slush upon that runaway and the aircraft never rose, It ploughed into the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned. And eight of the team were killed as the blazing wreckage burned. Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor who were capped for England's side. And Ireland's Billy Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died, Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David Pegg also, They all lost their lives as it ploughed on through the snow. Big Duncan he went to, with an injury to his frame, And Ireland's brave Jack Blanchflower will never play again, The great Sir Matt Busby lay there, the father of his team Three long months passed by before he walked again. The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew, Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew, and one of them Big Swifty, who we'll ne'er forget, the finest English 'keeper that ever graced the net. Oh, England's finest football team its record truly great, its proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate. Eight men will never play again, who met destruction there, the flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester.....The End On 6th February 1958 the airliner carrying players and backroom staff of Manchester United, plus a number of journalists and supporters, crashed in a blizzard on its third attempt to take off from Munich airport.

Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt in Munich Germany
Time :
2 : 20
Marienplatz (en: Mary's Square) is a central square in the city center of Munich, Germany since 1158. In the Middle Ages markets and tournaments were held in this city square. The Glockenspiel in the new city hall was inspired by these tournaments, and draws millions of tourists a year. Marienplatz was named after the Mariensäule, a Marian column erected in its centre in 1638 to celebrate the end of Swedish occupation. It is home to Munich's Old City Hall (Altes Rathaus) and the New City Hall (Neues Rathaus). Munich's old city hall is the most easterly building on the square. It's a gothic council hall and ballroom and tower, which have been reconstructed. The New City Hall was built 1867 - 1909 in Flanders gothic style; its facade, over 300 feet in length, features strikingly elaborate stone ornamentation. Its 260-foot tower with carillon is, with the nearby St. Peter's Church and the twin towers of the Cathedral, one of the most distinctive features of the city's skyline." explains muenchen.de, which also ranks Marienplatz as one of the top ten sites in Munich. The Viktualienmarkt is a daily food market and a square in the center of Munich, Germany. The Viktualienmarkt developed from an original farmers' market to a popular market for gourmets. The selection, variety and exclusiveness of the products offered contribute to the market's special flair. On an area covering 22.000m², 140 stalls and shops offer flowers, exotic fruit, game, poultry, spices, cheese, fish, juices etc. Nowhere else in Munich can you find a greater variety of fresh food and delicacies.
