In 1977, two jumbo jets—KLM and Pan Am—collided on the runway in Tenerife due to miscommunication and thick fog, killing 583 people in the deadliest aviation accident ever. In 2010, Airblue Flight 202 crashed into the hills near Islamabad after the captain ignored weather warnings and silenced his co-pilot.
Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River in 1982 after skipping proper de-icing, and Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 went down in the Everglades in 1972 because the crew was distracted by a minor lightbulb issue, accidentally switching off autopilot. These tragedies weren’t just accidents—they were preventable. Please SHARE this story with your friends and family.
