On March 27, 1977, the small Spanish island of Tenerife became the site of the deadliest aviation disaster in history. Due to thick fog, poor communication, and airport overcrowding, two Boeing 747s—one from KLM and the other from Pan Am—collided on the runway. The crash claimed 583 lives, leaving only a few survivors from the Pan Am jet. The tragedy prompted major overhauls in aviation communication protocols, particularly the standardized use of English and clearer pilot-tower language. | thes
