Do you know? One in ten of us has a phobia of flying, and it's not really the flying that's the problem. It's the prospect of the plane falling out of the sky. It's the idea of plummeting to our deaths. Flying is the safest way to travel, but still, some people can't help but break out in a cold sweat whenever they think of boarding an airplane. For the deadliest plane crash in history, the great irony was that this horrifying accident didn't involve the planes to fall out of the sky - it happened on the ground. On March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747 passenger jets, the KLM Flight 4805 and Pan Am Flight 1736, collided on a foggy runway at Los Rodeos Airport, on the Spanish island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, killing 583 people. During that time, the Boeing 747 airplane model was only in its eighth year of service. But it was already the biggest, most influential, and the most glamorous commercial jetliner ever built!
In fact, up to this very day, the Boeing 747 is still considered the most popular airplane in history. Due to the bomb explosion at Gran Canaria Airport, where two jumbo Boeing jets (one belonging to KLM, and the other to Pan Am) were supposed to land, the aircrafts were asked to land at Los Rodeos Airport instead. There were other diverted aircrafts already parked at that airport. The Los Rodeos Airport is small, and only has one airstrip. Air traffic control was not used to serving many aircrafts, let alone jumbo jets. KLM Captain Jacob Van Zanten, decided to offload his passengers so they can wait inside the terminal. The pilots of KLM were very anxious, and concerned. Their company has a new policy which prevents them from exceeding the company flying time limit. Unless the Gran Canaria Airport, their original destination, reopens soon, they will exceed their limit. If that happens, the flight will be cancelled, a new set of pilots will be flown in from Amsterdam, passengers would have to be given hotel and food accommodations, and on top of that, they might lose their licenses.
