“In the airport’s Garden of Remembrance, an epitaph on the permanent memorial to the victims reads, “their lives were not lost in vain.” Those words reflect the fact that every passenger who passes through Manchester airport – and any other airport around the world – is safer, today, as a result of the lessons learned from that day’s tragic events.”
So says Manchester airport’s managing director, Chris Woodroofe, 40 years on from the disaster that cost the lives of 53 passengers and two cabin crew.
