Anniversary of World's Worst Civil Aviation Accident


Recommended Posts

This is an updated version of my Jan 2023 video on the crash of two Boeing 747s (Pan Am & KLM) on the runway of the airport on the Island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, 27 March 1977. This update includes additional information on the crash from official sources, and a short interview with the surviving co-pilot from the Pan Am aircraft. With a death toll of 583, it remains the world's worst civil aviation accident. Hope you find it interesting. Cheers.

Frank.

Once again you're remake has re-highlighted an unfortunate but critical point of aviation history.

This incident is a must read, with so many errors, any one of which may have prevented the fatal event.

I was a young aviator when this occurred, and it was an eye opener,

If these errors could be done by those so much more experienced than I, it makes one pause.

Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.
