It’s only a matter of time before some AA employee, hired for skin color, or sexual preference, or gender and dumb as a post flies an airliner with 500 people in it into another airliner with 500 people in it.

“It’s only a matter of time before some AA employee, hired for skin color, or sexual preference, or gender and dumb as a post flies an airliner with 500 people in it into another airliner with 500 people in it.”

On March 27, 1977 two Boeing 747 passenger jets collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport on the Spanish island of Tenerife. The collision occurred when KLM Flight 4805 initiated its takeoff run during dense fog while Pan Am Flight 1736 was still on the runway. All 248 passengers and crew aboard the KLM plane died, as did 335 passengers and crew aboard the Pan Am plane. Pilot error was blamed in the investigation but there were indications of air traffic control issues. Sounds on the CVR suggested that during the accident the Spanish control tower crew had been listening to a football match on the radio and may have been distracted.

This collision between two jumbo jets occurred decades before the current FAA push for diversity hiring.
