*deadliest air crash disaster in aviation is playing* *while happy calm music is playing*

[xXnetroXxyou]

Context:The Tenerife airport disaster occurred on March 27, 1977, at Los Rodeos Airport (now Tenerife North Airport) in the Canary Islands. It involved two Boeing 747 jumbo jets, one belonging to KLM and the other to Pan American World Airways (Pan Am).

The disaster was primarily attributed to a series of miscommunications and unfortunate events. Thick fog blanketed the airport, reducing visibility. The airport's limited capacity led to congestion, with several planes taxiing on the single runway.

The critical moment came when the KLM aircraft initiated its takeoff while the Pan Am plane was still taxiing on the same runway. The tower controller misunderstood the KLM captain's radio message, leading to confusion and a tragic collision. The KLM aircraft collided with the Pan Am plane, resulting in a massive fire.

Tragically, 583 people lost their lives, making it the deadliest aviation accident in history. The disaster prompted significant changes in aviation procedures, emphasizing improvements in communication protocols and crew coordination to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Hope this helps.❤️

The tenerife airport disaster began when there were 2 Boeing 747's, the weather was very foggy and hard for the pilots to see, the klm 4805 took off without collision but took of at the last second and hit the top of the pan am 1736 leaving 335 people dead

There was 61 passengers that survived the incident. On the klm 4805 flight however had killed everyone

The accident was caused by miscommunication with air traffic control

[Boeingmaxgood]

History almost repeated itself from this, delta was taking off and American Airlines was crossing runway but tower canceled deltas takeoff clearance and they were safe

Edit: this is the most likes I got lol

A bomb set off by the Canary Islands Independence Movement at Gran Canaria Airport had caused many flights to be diverted to Los Rodeos, including the two aircraft involved in the accident. The airport quickly became congested with parked airplanes blocking the only taxiway and forcing departing aircraft to taxi on the runway instead. Patches of thick fog were drifting across the airfield, so visibility was greatly reduced for pilots and the control tower.[2][3]

The subsequent investigation by Spanish authorities concluded that the primary cause of the accident was the KLM captain's decision to take off in the mistaken belief that a takeoff clearance from air traffic control (ATC) had been issued.[4] Dutch investigators placed a greater emphasis on a mutual misunderstanding in radio communications between the KLM crew and ATC, [5] but ultimately KLM admitted that their crew was responsible for the accident and the airline agreed to financially compensate the relatives of all of the victims.[6]

The disaster had a lasting influence on the industry, highlighting in particular the vital importance of using standardized phraseology in radio communications. Cockpit procedures were also reviewed, contributing to the establishment of crew resource management as a fundamental part of airline pilots' training.[7] The captain is no longer considered infallible, and combined crew input is encouraged during aircraft operations.[8]

Flight history
Edit

Tenerife was an unscheduled stop for both flights. Their destination was Gran Canaria Airport (also known as Las Palmas Airport or Gando Airport), serving Las Palmas on the nearby island of Gran Canaria. Both islands are part of the Canary Islands, an autonomous community of Spain located in the Atlantic Ocean off the southwest coast of Morocco.

KLM Flight 4805
Edit

KLM captain Jacob Veldhuyzen van Zanten featured in a 1977 advertisement for the airline.
KLM Flight 4805 was a charter flight for Holland International Travel Group and had arrived from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Netherlands.[9] Its cockpit crew consisted of Captain Jacob Veldhuyzen van Zanten (age 50), [10] First Officer Klaas Meurs (42), and Flight Engineer Willem Schreuder (48). At the time of the accident, van Zanten was KLM's chief flight instructor, with 11, 700 flight hours, of which 1, 545 hours were on the 747. Meurs had 9, 200 flight hours, of which 95 hours were on the 747. Schreuder had 17, 031 flight hours, of which 543 hours were on the 747.

The aircraft was a Boeing 747-206B, registration PH-BUF, named Rijn (Rhine). The KLM jet was carrying 14 crew members and 235 passengers, including 52 children. Most of the KLM passengers were Dutch; also on board were four Germans, two Austrians, and two Americans. After the aircraft landed at Tenerife, the passengers were transported to the airport terminal. One of the inbound passengers, Robina van Lanschot, who lived on the island with her boyfriend, chose not to re-board the 747, leaving 234 passengers on board.[11][12]

Pan Am Flight 1736
Edit
Pan Am Flight 1736 had originated at Los Angeles International Airport, with an intermediate stop at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The aircraft was a Boeing 747-121, registration N736PA, named Clipper Victor. It was the first 747 to be delivered to an airline. Of the 380 passengers (mostly of retirement age, but including two children), 14 had boarded in New York, where the crew was also changed. All but five passengers onboard the aircraft were Americans; the non-American passengers were all Canadian nationals.[13] The new crew consisted of Captain Victor Grubbs (age 56), First Officer Robert Bragg (39), Flight Engineer George Warns (46) and 13 flight attendants. At the time of the accident, Grubbs had 21, 043 hours of flight time, of which 564 hours were on the 747. Bragg had 10, 800 flight hours, of which 2, 796 hours were on the 747. Warns had 15, 210 flight hours, of which 559 hours were on the 747.

This particular aircraft had operated the inaugural 747 commercial flight on January 22, 1970.[9] On August 2, 1970, in its first year of service, it also became the first 747 to be hijacked: en route between JFK and Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, it was diverted to José Martí International Airport in Havana, Cuba.[14]


Accident
Edit

Diversion of aircraft to Los Rodeos
Edit

Rijn (foreground) and Clipper Victor (center) at Los Rodeos on the day of the accident.
Both flights had been routine until they approached the islands. At 13:15, a bomb planted by the separatist Canary Islands Independence Movement exploded in the terminal of Gran Canaria Airport, injuring eight people.[15] There had been a phone call warning of the bomb, which had been misunderstood as two bombs. The civil aviation authorities had therefore closed the airport temporarily after the explosion, and all incoming flights bound for Gran Canaria had been diverted to Los Rodeos, including the two aircraft involved in the disaster.[4] The Pan Am crew indicated that they would prefer to circle in a holding pattern until landing clearance was given (they had enough fuel to safely stay in the air for two more hours), but they were ordered to divert to Tenerife.[16]

Los Rodeos was a regional airport that could not easily accommodate all of the traffic diverted from Gran Canaria, which included five large airliners.[17] The airport had only one runway and one major taxiway running parallel to it, with four short taxiways connecting the two. While waiting for Gran Canaria airport to reopen, the diverted airplanes took up so much space that they had to park on the long taxiway, making it unavailable for the purpose of taxiing. Instead, departing aircraft needed to taxi along the runway to position themselves for takeoff, a procedure known as a backtaxi or backtrack.[4]

What really happened was

On march 27 1977 two Boing 747 was was going to take off but KLM was going down the runway they got told to take a uturn so they did but on the other side of the runway pan am was taxiing down but then the fog came no one could see anything KLM was getting annoyed but they got told to stay still for 5 mins but they did not do it they started to take off and. Plane point of views Takes off wait we don’t have clearance. Oh don’t worry. Couple more feet wait is that a plane GET OFF GET OFF. Shit shit shit pull up pull up Tail strike oh Dam it. And boom the KLM smashed into the pan am flight and still in 2023 everyone still talks about it I feel bad for them

What AUDACITY DO YOU HAVE to put a short of the WORST aviation disaster IN HISTORY and put “SUBSCRIBE!1!!!1!” above it? Come on dude, show some god damn respect

[ItsMatthew]

Context: it was a cloudy day on the runway of Tenerife airport when a KLM was in a hurry to deliver cargo and being a impatient little asshole he went through the runway WITHOUT TAKEOFF CLEARANCE when there was a plane on the runway taxing the pilot of the KLM thought the plane on the runway was going faster than it actually was (he thought it would get out of the way before he got there) and he got ready to take off and flew over the plane on the runway HITTING IT AND KILLING HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
