@afcaj0od Both the Panam and the KLM had permission to back taxi down the runway. The majority of blame is with the KLM pilot for taking off without permission.

and all because KLM captain didn't wanna miss diner

[afcaj0od]

@amfs23 Does That matter?

Just tellin' what i've read and what i've seen on TV.

Even the commentator said both airliners were wrong...deal with it and accept it.

[amfs23]

@afcaj0od and of course you're dutch.

[afcaj0od]

@slaterms11 the panam didn't even had permission to enter That runway, while the klm didn't had permission to takeoff so it's a mistake by both pilots

though the old communication of that airport was a reason too

[torpeedo1]

So.....the firemen began to extinguish the KLM-plane before they started to extinguish the Pan Am? Even if everyone on the KLM probably died right away.

Bad luck all the way.

[slaterms11]

Inconceivable that a pilot of Van Zanten's expertise and esteem would have acted in such a hasty and foolish manner, when so many lives were at stake.

@34roberees A trans-Atlantic bullet train?

[34roberees]

A bullet train would be a good option instead of an airplane. At least the bullet train stays on earth. There would be incidents of course but the possibilities of surviving would be higher than in an airplane accident.
