The Tenerife Air Disaster - Part 4 - Air Crash Disasters

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.

A doctor from riverside, ca was on pan am flight, Dr Johnson. He saved my life when i was a child. After numerous doctors couldnt find a cure to help me. Hemoglobin shots (goats blood) he injected into my thighs 2 x's a week,..to stimulate my non working immunity cells, I got my first fever at age 5. Without him I would have lived in a plastic bubble the rest of my life. He was on this flight to help others in poorer countries and find cures for new diseases. Truly there was an angel on pan am.

@OldFireStick Just proved my point. All the factors came together to create the disaster. If there was no fog this wouldn't of happened either and many other single things that could've broken the chain. Basically, Van Zanten could've still been a reckless pilot and done the exact same thing and nothing would've happened if any of the other factors were changed. Hence, when its your time its your time my friend.

@TheTruthHurts "When it's your time it's your time." That had NOTHING to do with it. The fact is that Van Zanten the KLM pilot was reckless and irresponsible. Despite all the other factors, if he had taken it easy instead of being so hot to trot it wouldn't have happened. Nothing to do with anyones's "time". Everything to do with one reckless and irresponsible pilot who should have known better.

"Is there anything to be learned from the kind of impossible tragedy represented by tenerife"
