Almost a replay of what happened on Tannerife (sic?) back in the 70’s?. KLM 747 is told to hold but begins rolling for take-off after a brief pause. Plows into a Pan-Am 747 trying to find its way to a taxi-way after being directed onto the runway...
Our church, which is situated right outside Gate 6 of Seizure World, lost quite a few parishioners from that accident.
I remember that. Heavy fog didn’t help.
Tenerife, March 27, 1977. 583 dead. I think that’s the most for any airline disaster. But more than three times as many died when the Sultana exploded near Memphis in 1865.
