March 27, 1977. A terrorist bomb is detonated in Las Palmas Airport, Canary Islands. Almost 50 planes are diverted to the small airport on the island of Tenerife. Impatience mounts as flights are delayed. A fog settles. Two 747s packed with vacationing passengers collide on the runway. What happened?
With never before broadcast Air Traffic Control Tower tapes, Captain Robert Bragg describes moment by moment what it was like to be a part of "the worst disaster of civil aviation history."
