  • I saw a special on it today on fox. What a great tragedy that was, so much talent lost in one hit.

  • The Busby Babes. I believe there is a memorial site outside the Manchester United ground.
  • England and their soccer tragedies. 1958 crash, 1989 Hillsborough and haven't won a World Cup since 1966. Also legend George Best died from liver failure from drinking in 2005.
  • Watch a movie called " Alive" I read the book ages ago and watched the movie anyway the movie is pretty good about a Rugby Union team that plane crashes in the Andes Mountain back in the seventies I think it was, based on a true story, anyway some survived the crash, the search and rescue was basically abandoned due to poor weather conditions and the terrain and The authorities presumed them all dead, the remaining survivors "fed on the corpses of the dead in the crash as they were preserved in the snow!
  • It's been on Foxtel a few times now and is a good watch. They interview some of the surviving players and you can still see how much it has affected them even to this day.

"Blore is average. We are top heavy for forwards, very light on in the backs, now you want to get rid of two backs for an average forward. I'm glad Mon is part of the recruitment team, and not you."
