On 22 August 1985 a fire occurred on a Boeing 737 jet airliner at take off at Manchester Airport. One hundred and thirty seven passengers and crew were on board. Fifty two passengers died on the aircraft, 85 escaped. Most survivors had minor physical injuries, but 15 required admission to hospital because of smoke inhalation and two of these had severe burns. At presentation only one survivor required ventilation but within 12 hours a further five required ventilation. Although initially patients suffering from smoke inhalation may seem relatively well, lung function may deteriorate rapidly in the first 24 hours. Careful organisation and regular practice of procedures to deal with a major accident are essential to be able to respond adequately to such an event.
1985年8月22日，一架波音737喷气式客机在曼彻斯特机场起飞时发生火灾。机上有137名乘客和机组人员。52名乘客在飞机上死亡，85人逃生。大多数幸存者有轻微身体损伤，但15人因吸入烟雾需要住院治疗，其中两人有严重烧伤。就诊时只有一名幸存者需要通气，但在12小时内又有五人需要通气。虽然最初吸入烟雾的患者看起来情况相对良好，但肺功能可能在最初24小时内迅速恶化。精心组织和定期演练应对重大事故的程序对于能够充分应对此类事件至关重要。
