What Happened to the Aircraft: The Tenerife crash, also known as the Tenerife airport disaster, occurred on March 27, 1977. It involved two Boeing 747 aircraft, one operated by KLM and the other by Pan Am, colliding on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport (now known as Tenerife North Airport) in the Canary Islands, Spain.

The accident was caused by a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings between the air traffic control and the flight crews. Due to a bomb threat at another airport, many flights were diverted to Los Rodeos, causing congestion at the airport.

As the KLM plane was preparing for takeoff, the Pan Am plane was still on the runway, making an exit. However, due to heavy fog and poor visibility, the KLM pilot did not see the Pan Am plane in time and started his takeoff roll. The KLM plane collided with the Pan Am plane, resulting in the death of 583 people, making it the deadliest accident in aviation history.

The Tenerife crash led to significant changes in aviation procedures and communication protocols to prevent similar accidents in the future.


RIP to all people that died on board KLM 4805 and 583 On Pan Am 1736
