It was an event which shook the world: on a windswept island in the Atlantic Ocean, two Boeing 747s collided on a fog-shrouded runway, claiming the lives of 583 people. The story of the world’s worst air disaster has since been told and retold countless times: by the handful of lucky survivors; by the firefighters who ran into the fog.

Bonobo ukonanga passport kweli?
Walter white explained it better in The breaking bad
Why? I have burnt through 8 passports so far. I am on my 9th
Also two planes collided in air over Germany with one plane carrying several talented kids from Europe. Luckily the other plane was carrying cargo and hence there weren’t many casualties
i find myself watching air crash investigation over and over…shit scares me so much but have never gotten a clue on how i could survive in such a situation if it crashed in water,well apart from the life jacket and all…sharks feast on you…kizaazaa ingine hapo…maji ikipita ya bathtub count me out.
Sometime nikiingia kwa habibi last year,huyo kadere wa ndege alipiga corner moja as we were descending to land,i must say i got saved mid air…was kinda funny though,some kirinyaga road entreprenuers on the plane, a kamau and njoroge going for some spares said ati amepiga corner kama jamaa wa nduthi mpaka magoti ikaguza chini… every one else was deep in prayers.
Hizo documentaries ziunifanya nione naweza fly a plane:D:D
One of the dead kid’s parent tracked down the Air traffic controller who confused the pilots and stabbed him to death. Eastern Europeans keep blood feuds for a long time, he was from Russia or one of the former USSR states.
I watch soo many docies about planes and other Disasters.
There’s a channel called Wonder, I binge on that frequently, another nice Channel is Seconds From Disaster

Americans are told to get off the runway at a certain taxi way, C3, they ignore and decide to proceed to the next taxi way but do not communicate the decision to ATC. ATC is expecting they follow the instruction to the letter.
In an unbelievable stroke of bad luck, ATC then announces to KLM “you are cleared to the papa beacon, await further instruction” at the very exact moment the PAN AM reports “we’re still taxiing down the runway, clipperXX”, but the underlined sentences are garbled by radio interference and aren’t heard by both ATC and KLM.
The KLM crew believing they have been cleared for take-off advance throttles to full and roll down the runway before obtaining take-off clearance. The visibility is just a few meters, they can’t see the PAN AM directly in front of them. The fate of 500 plus is sealed.
If only the Americans had just simply followed instructions and/or made it unequivocally clear what they were doing the accident could have been avoided. You can’t really blame the star KLM Captain for his decision because the word cleared should only be used when someone has been allowed to take off.
I think you need to review the investigation report before making your own conclusions.
The investigation concluded that the fundamental cause of the accident was that captain Veldhuyzen van Zanten attempted to take off without clearance.
I disagree. The ATC should never have used the words “you are cleared to the papa beacon…” unless and until they intended to clear the KLM for take-off. Nevertheless, even with that mistake the remainder of the message was obscured by failure of technology, the KLM crew did not hear it. There is never a single cause to an accident, its a chain of events that link up to cause a catastrophe. But I am just a layman, Esq. @Simiyu22 so i will leave it at that.
I gave you the official accident investigation report. Undisputed too. You can choose to disagree, but you won’t have anywhere near the information and knowledge they had.
Siet, I have barely filled my second
