In Memory of 27 March 1977

[OkkuPokku39]

Nice video and sound! 

[PlanTonto]

Stop raggin on this dude because of his English. He took the time to make a video. Shut up and make your own if you don't like it. I swear, some people are just plain rude. Your parents did a shitty job raising you. By the way, the planes didn't hit each other. The KLM pilot made an error and took off before he was allowed to because he wasn't patient.

[MrMacho1423]

i like the song what song is it

[huvander]

god bless you for making this video !! rip all those who died x

[dbyington1]

To Sonny767: Don't feel bad, most Americans can't speak proper English either. At least you can speak two languages, another plus for you. Not many native born Americans can say that....and as you can obviously tell, most Americans are extremely rude, too....and for the record, I am an American and deal with this kind of attitude everyday and it gets old real quick.

[BILLBOARDER2010]

HI THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO A SINCERE REMEMBRANCE TO THESE 583 PERSONS I WANT TO WIISH ENDLESS REST IN PEACE TO THESE 583 SOULS IT IS A LESSON FOR FUTURE PILOTS AND CREWMEMBERS THIS TRAGIC INCIDENT COULD BE AVOIDED

[berrycccc]

@ starbreez...: it shows that you are an arrogant bastard. How's your Danish, Dutch,German or whatever ? Most likely it sucks even more.

[oldbuttercup1000]

Very moving tribute. Thank you.

[PIPERCUB2006]

Thank you! Even though it has been 34 years (April, 2011), I will always remember this in history, for I am a better pilot because it of.

[2011LEGOFAN]

This Video was very very very sad. I will never forget this disaster.;(

[Alaforte456]

are you ment to say mean time not main time

[Alaforte456]

i know this song. my mom likes this song.

[xhunter619]

what an asshole pilot of the klm

[TheWilku900]

there is one mistake - Victor Grubbs was the captain, the co-pilot was Robert Bragg ;)

[pete5668]

two a380s will meet the same fate.

[huvander]

Thankyou for posting such a kind tribute .. God bless all those souls ..

Rest In Peace .. Such a terrible tragedy .

[jamessmedley82]

According to Readers' Digest, upon impact with the Pan Am aircraft, some parts of the KLM's undercarriage were vapourised, with temperatures reaching 1200 Celsius.

[herhhh]

It's both fault's , you can see it at the routes Pam An did not follow the route and the KLM started without permission

[PIPERCUB2006]

@herhhh As a pilot, I have missed my route at an unfamilar airport. However, this is NOT a cause of this accident. It was cause problems, however did not cost the accident. The KLM on the other hand did NOT wait for clearance from the tower. Being the cause of this accident. Even if the Pan AM follow their intented route, the KLM DID NOT folow the correct procedure of flying and watching for ATC Clearance.

[shoykhetm]

@RaceAcer60 I dont know why but I think because the KLM captain was in a hurry to go back so he thought it would have been smart to take of and not listen to air traffic contol.

[RaceAcer60]

I would like to ask a question if i may; i would like to know why the (ATC) did not just let the plane roll up to the spot where the KLM plane had sat and let that plane wait until the KLM plane had taken off and cleared the airport,DONT YA THINK IT WOULDA BEEN WORTH WAITING THAT LITTLE EXTRA TIME?.Sure of course would,look at all of the ppl would that have been saved.

[dinoo604]

@RaceAcer60

it's not the fault of any pilots.

the air commander gave them fake information's.

it was a misty day that's why they didn't see each other.

[PIPERCUB2006]

@dinoo604 It was the pilot-in-command of the KLM. It WAS the fualt of the pilot!

[PIPERCUB2006]

@dinoo604 It was the pilot-in-command of the KLM. It WAS the fault of the pilot!

[Skull4Scavenger]

It is very refreshing to see a something of respect for all the people who were involved, especially the dead. And not just blaming and maiming as if someone would ever wanted this to happen. Mistakes were made and someone particular made a fatal mistake. We all know.... A sad sad day.

[MonkeyPoWaH]

Great tribute to the ppl who left their lives

[tjf4375]

A great effort, well done indeed! Could I ask, where did you get the image from at 0:50 which shows how the planes were parked on the taxiway? I've been looking for such a diagram for ages and this was just what I needed!

[starbreez3]

Well nice, it shows you're a nice person, anyways, your english sucks

[Sonny767]

Thanks a lot, I appriciate that. Also I agree with you about my english back then. Luckily it changed in a positive way over the past few years!

Thanks

Sonny

[MrMacho1423]

[argity1]

It's not funny!!

Geweldig jongen respect voor jou hoe je dit maakt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 sterren

[getofmaballs]

i was on the panam, we were just taxiing down the runway and all of a sudden, i saw this KLM 747 throttoling down the runway towards us, when the KLM collided with me, the gear went flying over me and almost hit me, i was so lucky that i survived that crash :O

[Roushfan5]

Bullshit. You only 17 years old. You where lets see... ah yes negative 14 years old.

[getofmaballs]

[Roushfan5]

[getofmaballs]

[getofmaballs]

umm... :'(

[mylife1221]

are you joking that you were in the incident?!

[getofmaballs]

ya..

[lolzidazi1]

sad music, i almost cryed

[benzboi1]

What a lovely tribute for a horrible incident; and with an interesting choice of music. I grew up on Pan Am and remember this vividly. Your heart is in the right place and I am sorry that others posted comments about your English. It was unnecessary.

[littelG333]

this happened exactly 31 years ago today, rest in peace, god be with those who died in that terrible accident i kinda was in tears bcuz my family lives there : [

[Sonny767]

I want to thank you all for all your kind comments! It really means a lot to me when I read through all those comments and also it's good to see other people think about it! Thank you, gracias, danke, bedankt!

[66oc]

"The KLM flow a few hundred metres until it falled out of the sky"

Ga eerst eens Engels leren....

(learn some English)

[Sonny767]

I don't want to use the fact that I'm Dutch as an excuse but I can use it to say that I'm still learing and eventhough my english improved since I made this video there still is a long way to go.

[66oc]

Spell and grammar checker, never heard of it?

Ben je nu echt zo'n grote lomperik?

[holocaustdefender33]

@66oc, No it didn't the KLM never made it off the runway.

[davvidf99]

Great tribute, but I find it disrespectful that you can't you proper grammer and spelling.

"falled out of the sky"

"get out the plane"

[Sonny767]

I'm verry sorry about my English but I'm working on it and I can say that it has improved over the last year and I now know that it is 'fell out the sky'. Thanks for your comment anyway.

[davvidf99]

Now I feel like an ass.

I had no idea you didn't speak English very well.

Sorry!

[jlb554344]

@davvidf99 and neither can you, "but I find it disrespectful that you can't you proper"

[kidcaptian]

great video!

[j4cko56]

Van Zanten was in such a rush... if he had calmed and slowed down the whole thing could have been avoided, but thing what would have happened if it was a head on nose-nose collition

hit you deep inside good work

[j4cko56]

i watched a documentary on it and the raidos they had where really bad consiquently as the pan-am plane was saying "we are still taxing on the runway" the tower was telling the klm what to do this happend at exactly the same time causing the towers words to stop at "yes" and the pan-ams words were not heard, the KLM went, the pan-am saw it coming and tried to turn off the rwy but it was to late

[HeavyJet773]

A wonderful tribute to all those whom lost their lives in this tragic incident. I was barely 8 years old at the time, but somehow, have never been able to rid myself of the shock and sadness over this tragedy. Nicely done and kudos to you for your creation, caring and sharing.

[jaydelotte]

I remember the accident well. I was 12 years old at the time it happened. Great tribute

[coolpower988]

great video.

[Goring24]

Captain van Zanten caused this accident!

[Goring24]

Captain van Zanten caused this accident!

[yolian1]

How do you record those plane from Simulator?

[anairbus380]

Excellent tribute!!!.At least a tribute that respect the victims,their relatives and the pilots.Excellent video,done with respect.Excellent work.Congratulations!Greetings from Argentina.

[Manu2455]

Este video es muy emotivo, y toca el corazon profundamente. Paz a los restos de esos pasajeros y tranquilidad a sus familiares, y al Piloto de KLM , que Dios lo haya perdonado por haber provocado ese desastre.

[blangear]

This is an excellent video , what is that beautiful song at the end?

[Sonny767]

Thanks, its Time To Say Goodbye from Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli

[toronto7400]

Best vid i have seen used with FS9/FSX, for this major crash. What models did you use for the 747s?

[geraaaard1]

Incredible, you 're only 14, and your vidéo is really good but sad. I hope that i'll never see that with A-380...I think that you'll be a good pilot later.

[Sonny767]

Thanks, me either and thanks a lot I realy appreciate that!

[mkiia]

Thank You.

[chesterplace]

RIP!! Tragic loss of life!

Well done sonny!

[captainpuncakes]

you forgot to point out that alot of the panam passengers were killed by rubble getteing shot out of the engines which were going out of control

[IdolHans]

thank you Sonny. All young people going into aviation careers need to understand what happened that horrible day. I have told this story to many fliers and have discussed it in many classrooms. NEVER AGAIN!

[hxor]

stupid ass klm pilote

[ale7730]

Great work Sonny767

[iberia77]

This never should have happened. RIP those who lost their lives in this tragedy in 1977

[JOKKA22HUNGARY]

rip.good video,but joyless...

[siljedrange]

are you only 14 years old? good work :)

[Sonny767]

Yes I'm 14 :D

Thanks!

[Giacobinmugatu]

Davekg444, having read your intensely racist comments about tsunami victims elsewhere on YouTube, I must say that I ALMOST wish you'd been on one of those planes yourself. You are a hypocrite sans pareil.

[Sonny767]

I understand np this must end.

Thanks!

[Sonny767]

"this user is a racist!!tell everybody!!"

Eh if you mean me then you are totaly wrong :/

[JibbaMahnfeet]

He was likely referring to davekg444....see my comment above. Just didn't use the reply button like he should have.

[reshit27]

this user is a racist!!tell everybody!!

[FunbC]

I was born that day

[Sonny767]

Thanks all guys its good to hear!

[Krizzzzz1992]

yeah thanks... I cant belive I was already forgetting that... shame on me

[Goring24]

Nice video man. Congratulations.

[nimrob]

Great Job, specially to concern only explain the tragic facts and do not explore the guilt or culprits

[ILOVEBOEING767]

Man that was a great video! I am going to make a tribute for the PSA flight 182 that crashed in San Diego in 1979. great work

[Sonny767]

Thanks!

Keep me updated of your work!

[califgirl101]

Sonny, you have nothing to be sorry about! As I said, this video was very moving for me. Be well and many blessings. :)

[califgirl101]

How incredible was that! Thank you Sonny for sharing this moving yet tragic video with us. I was born 4 months after this tragic crash occured. It is a great shame to see this however, it will always remind us of the recent events like the Crash Of Flight 81 and 9/11. Also, thank you for the montage at the end of this video. Very inspiring. Thanks again.

[Sonny767]

Thanks for your story and good words!

[surfdawg5]

I think Grubbs was the captain, not the co-pilot.

I like the photo montage at the end.

[Sonny767]

I'm very sorry for that error, I shame myself for it.

Thanks

[vermontviking]

Very moving, amazing work.

[Sonny767]

I'm happy with your words and such things also get me going on to learn better english!:)

Thanks!

[Sonny767]

Thanks Davekg444!

[tq246]

You might want to check some of your words. Like "they didn't saw the flames" should be "they didn't see the flames".

[Sonny767]

Thanks, I already had an Email from somebody who told me my errors and I learned from them.

[lalalakakakannn2]

you used opengl?

[Sonny767]

Nope I don't think so

[bardock911]

This video is wonderfull.

Great job!

I don't want to ruin your work, but the video isn't 583 seconds. it's 593.

[Sonny767]

Thanks!

I know the total isn't 583 seconds but the last ten seconds is just with my name.

[dukedmg]

Amazing video, congratulations.

[Skyrodude]

nice work!

[Sonny767]

Thanks guys I indeed put a lot of time in it but its surely worth it!

[mungrel1]

Fantastic movie Sonny,

You clearly put a lot of time and effort in.

[Kuitar2]

Wow, that's sad, i'm touched.

good vid man.

[parkhurst2006]

Great, excellent, i have no words...

[nimzajafari]

great video. i watched the whole thing. 583 seconds i stand still

[Sonny767]

Thanks for standing still and thanks for the good comment

[umbraluno]

Hoy se cumplen 30 años del terrible accidente de los Rodeos, hoy conocido como Tenerife Norte, el más grave accidente en toda la historia de la avición civil. Gracias por hacer este video, en memoria de todas las víctimas y de sus familiares. Gracias de corazón. Thank you so much.

[Sonny767]

¡Muchas gracias senõr!

I'm sorry I can't speak further in Spanish but I am able to read your comment and I thank you for that, gracias!

[planeman43]

That was so moving, So sad to see people killed like that. Thanks fro showing us the truth.

[Sonny767]

Thank you!

I realy can feel what happened that day and it was an honour for me to make this video

[Billyboy60]

heer Struik, bedankt voor dit beeld-monument.

opmerkingen: 'ment' moet zijn meant. en 'the main' time moet zijn: the mean time. dit doet een beetje aan het geheel af;

ook de boord verhoudingen (captain/co-piloot) zijn veranderd n.a.v. deze ramp.

sterkte voor u op deze dag (de 27e) want u heeft duidelijk 'iets' met dit gebeuren van 30 jaar geleden; wellicht kent u ook nabestaanden.

groet. vrede: NS

[Sonny767]

Erg bedankt voor het commentaar en ik leer er zekker van.

Het klinkt misschien ook een beetje gek maar ik ken niemand die met de ramp verbonden is en zelf ben ik niet oud genoeg om het te hebben mee gemaakt maar ik leef erg mee met de nabestanen en vond het een eer om deze video te publiceren.

[CaptainB737]

This video is just so great made! I really enjoyed watching it!!!

[Sonny767]

Thanks mate I realy made this video with pleasure and that may sounds strange but you know what I mean.
