Courtesy: FAA http://bit.ly/hUvyOyAn updated FAA animation of the Tenerife accident.KLM Flight 4805, Boeing 747-206B, PH-BUF, ground collision with Pan American Flight 1736, Boeing 747-121, N735PALocation: Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain)Date: March 27, 1977Both aircraft - KLM Flight 4805, a Boeing 747-206B, Reg. No. PH-BUF; and Pan American (Pan Am) Flight 1736, a Boeing 747-121, Reg. No. N736PA, - had been diverted to Los Rodeos Airport on the Spanish island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands due to a bombing at the airport at their final destination, the neighboring island of Gran Canaria. Later, when flights to Gran Canaria resumed, the aircraft collided on the runway in Tenerife as the KLM Boeing 747 initiated a takeoff while the Pan Am aircraft was using the runway to taxi. The Spanish investigative authority, Subsecretaria de Aviacion Civil, found that the fundamental cause of the accident was the KLM captain: 1. Took off without clearance; 2. Did not obey the "stand by for take off" direction from the tower; 3. Did not interrupt take off on learning that the Pan Am aircraft was still on the runway; and 4. In reply to the KLM flight engineer's query as to whether the Pan Am aircraft had already left the runway, the KLM captain replied emphatically in the affirmative. The investigation also believed that the KLM captain's decision to take off may have been influenced by revised crew duty time limitations recently enacted by the Dutch government. The restrictions were inflexible and highly penalizing to the captain, if exceeded. With a total of 583 fatalities, the crash remains the deadliest accident in aviation history. All 248 passengers and crew aboard the KLM flight were killed. There were also 335 fatalities and 61 survivors on the Pan Am flight.

Mar 27, 2012 - The Panam didn't wanted to take the 4th taxiway. They couldn't identify taxiway 3, may be due to bad weather or due to the 148 degree turn. It was purely the mistake of Van Zantens to take off without getting the clearance and neglecting the flight engineer's warning.

Mar 27, 2012 - i said van zanten failed but he was not the only one who failed, biggest failure was the radio second was los rodeos radar third most van zanten, after him, everyone else

Apr 2, 2012 - I believe that ATC shld hv knwn C3 is nt appropriate for a 747 to turn.And still without ATC clearance it ws a biggest mistake of Van Zantens to take off!! he represented an extreme authority figure to his subordinates intimidated them. His co-pilot and flight engineer had intuition that Pan Am is still on runway but due to lack of equal speaking rights in cabin they were afraid to say anything to their senior captain.

Apr 9, 2012 - Unprepared ATC. They should have had both planes go down the runway one after the other. After they got by the parked planes, they should have exited onto the taxi way and gone down to the end of the runway the normal way. Then they would have known where the other plane was at all times. Accident was caused by numerous human errors, which calm procedures could have rectified. Putting two planes on a runway for that length of time is asking for it.

Apr 29, 2012 - Great explanation and radio dialogue. Not surprised that it left out the famous last part of the Pan Am pilot's (Capt. Victor Grubbs) transmission before the impact: "Goddamn, that son-of-a-bitch is coming straight at us!"
