On March 27th, 1977 the worse disaster in aviation history took place. In an attempt to take off in a thick fog, a 747 collides with another on the runway in Tenerife. The fiery explosion kills 583 people leaving just 70 survivors. By using forensic re-creations and transcripts of the recorded cockpit control tower conversations, this programme investigates exactly what went wrong.

  • @PassiveSmoking If you listen closely you can hear the narrator say rarely does a crash happen due to ALL of these causes he mentions, not MORE THAN ONE of these causes. I dont know about you but I have never heard of a crash from terrorism, weather, mechanical malfunction, technical trouble and human error all combined into one accident.

  • "When a hydraulic failure causes the engine to be torn from the plane" (about 2 mins in). This is backward! The engine breaking away from the plane damaged the hydraulics.

  • @rock3tcat=lost in his own little fantasy world! Poor thing.

  • At 2.01 it is Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 that crashed into Comoros Islands..

  • @fatalswoop1

    Boeing: 100 years of shit.

    Airbus: 40 years of good but not great stuff.

    Americans: semi mentally challenged patriotic failures

    Me: LOL

  • I agree with passivesmokeing another weeor at 2:01 it was a 767 not a 757.

  • Wait, wouldn't recreating the accident be suicide?

  • adding fake flames to a crash picture ... necessary??
