9/11: WTC South Tower Second Plane Crash

WTC 9/11 Rare Footage

Some 583 people died or were mortally injured on March 27th 1977 after two Boeing 747 jumbo jets collided on a runway at Los Rodeos airport, Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, making this the world’s worst civil aviation disaster. With 583 fatalities, the crash remains the deadliest accident in aviation history. All 248 aboard the fully fuelled KLM flight were killed. There were also 335 fatalities and 61 survivors from the Pan Am flight, which was struck along its spine by the KLM’s landing gear, under-belly and four engines.

The two 747s were stuck at Los Rodeos Airport for a few hours and during that time the weather became rainy and foggy. Passengers were becoming restless and the captains were anxious to get in the air again by the time they were finally slated for takeoff. There was a bit of

confusion because there were so many large aircraft and the airport in Tenerife was not well equipped for these large planes. There was also only one runway at the airport, so only one of these planes could take off at a time.

Because of the confusion, a garbled radio transmission and some mistakes made by both captains, by the time the two planes were in position to take off they were facing each other on the airport’s single runway. Captain Victor Grubbs had been given clearance for takeoff and Captain van Zanten believed that he had been given clearance because of a miscommunication that was not entirely his fault. By the time the two men noticed that they were directing these two huge aircraft straight at each other, it was too late.

Captain Victor Grubbs tried to steer out of the way of the other aircraft and Captain Jacob van Zanten attempted to pull his aircraft into a steep liftoff. Unfortunately, the tail end of the KLM 747 ripped into the Pan Am 747, wreaking havoc on its fuselage. The KLM 747 subsequently crashed back down to the runway and slid for roughly 1,000 feet. All 234 passengers and 14 crew members that were on board were killed. A fire following the crash completely destroyed the aircraft.

The Pan Am 747 also caught fire; 256 passengers were killed during and immediately after the accident. Nine died of their injuries later, and 56 passengers survived the wreck. Nine crew members were killed, and nine survived. That brings the death toll of the Tenerife Airport Disaster to 522. The only witnesses to the crash were on board the two doomed aircraft.

On 10 April 2010, a Polish Air Force Tupolev Tu-154M aircraft crashed near Smolensk, Russia, killing all 96 passengers and crew. Those killed included the Poland’s President Lech Kaczyński and his wife; the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and other senior military officers; the President of the National Bank; the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs; government officers, vice-speakers and members of parliament; and senior members of clergy

Causes ? A tree. The airplane impacted trees of a height of about 8 meters (26 feet) about 1200 meters (3950 feet) short of the airfield when the airplane should have been at a height of at least 60 meters (200 feet). The airplane continued to impact multiple single trees and was destroyed before the airplane impacted ground.
