Overview

• On August 8, a person fell to their death from a MediaCityUK office building in Salford Quays, leading to the erection of a forensic tent at the scene.
• The day before, a man died after plunging from the roof of Manchester Airport’s Terminal 1 car park in what Greater Manchester Police described as a welfare incident.
• Investigators have refrained from releasing the identities or ages of the deceased pending ongoing inquiries.
• Paramedics, an air ambulance and police officers secured both scenes without causing flight delays or affecting MediaCityUK operations.
• These two cases join a June crash at Luton Airport’s multistory car park to intensify concerns over elevated public-structure safety.
