Pan Am and KLM crash in Tenerife 27 March 1977 KLM 4805
This accident forever changed modern aviation.
It was caused by one man, the Captain of the KLM B747
The Captain disregarded his First Officer (Co-pilot) and flight engineer when he was challenged by them not to take off
Since this disaster aviation SAFETY procedures have been and continue to be ENHANCED
The KLM Captain was so senior in the company that after the accident the called him to go and conduct the investigation, only to find he was the sole cause of it.
KLM pilots
Captain Jacob Veldhuyzen Van Zanten
First Officer Klaas Meurs
Flight engineer Willem Shreuder
14 cabin crew and 235 passengers
"ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY"
Pan Am was backtracking to vacate the runway in heavy FOG
The ATC (air traffic control) told the Pan Am flight to "report clearing the RUNWAY"
The KLM Captain thought he heard ATC say "Clear for take off on that RUNWAY"
The KLM First Officer told the Captain "We are not cleared for take off"
The KLM Captain was impatient, set the engines to take off power disregarding the First Officer
The ATC did not see anything until it was too late due to the heavy FOG

The pilots put the fire out and landed SAFELY
Engine still runs well regardless, as it is designed so well.
The pilots extinguished the fire and landed SAFELY on the other engine
