The Tenerife Airport Disaster
Two Boeing 747 passenger jets, the one below
Crashed at Los Rodeos Airport or simply Tenerife the two passenger jets were to land at Gran Canaria Airport but were diverted to Tenerife because of a terrorist attack. The date of accident was March 27 1997. The KLM flight 4805 and the PAN AM 1736 collided at Los Rodeos Airport. The Gran Canaria Airport was now open and accessible so the both planes were routed back to the Gran Canaria International. The KLM aircraft was first to taxi to the end of the runway and align with it [Taxing is a process in which an aircraft goes to the end of the runway to align with it for take-off]
The KLM was ready for take-off asking radio clearance. There was low visibility and a lot of radio interference that’s why the KLM pilot thought they had clearance for take-off when they dint have it so a KLM passenger jet is now approaching a Pan Am with a speed of 200 miles per hour
Both of the pilots see a possible crash so they take quick steps KLM goes into a takeoff position and Pan tries to go off the runway the speed of KLM was not enough and same for the Pan AM so both of them crashed into each other 234 passengers and crew members on the KLM perished while on the PAN AM 326 passengers and 9 crew members perished.
This is the wreckage on the runway.
