On this day in 1977, two 747s collided on the runway at the Los Rodeos airport on Tenerife Island, The Canary Islands. 583 people were killed. 47 years later, this remains the worst air disaster in history. I was only nine at the time, but I can still remember the disaster being reported on the news and people talking about it for days afterward.
