Crash of the Century
Description
KLM Flight 4805 and Pan Am Flight 1736 were just two of many planes delayed on the Spanish island of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands on March 27, 1977. A series of events resulted in the two aircraft attempting to take off in dense fog from the same runway at the same time. This film is the result of investigators piecing together the conditions and actions that resulted in the death of 583 people, from eyewitness accounts and recordings from the cockpits and control tower.
