Teneriffe anniversary

With all the coverage of the missing Malaysian aircraft, the anniversary of the worst aircraft accident has slipped by un-noticed.

Deadliest Plane Crash In History - Business Insider

People seem surprised when its pointed out that the accident with the largest loss of life involved an aircraft on the ground (usually when I point it out after they've taken off their seatbelt as soon as we clear the runway...)

I remember this. The image that was seared into my young braine was of one of the passengers, clothes mostly burned, just staring at one of the burning planes. Sad.

I'd no idea that anyone had survived. It's remarkable that some did. Thank you for the article.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Only from the PanAm 747. No one survived from the KLM 747.
