	Capitol N4909C air crash
		On the flight deck of the KLM aircraft, it's Captain, Jacob van Zanten, a highly regarded training captain, was anxious to get back in the air as his duty hours for his crew were running low.
		It was now Pan Am's turn to depart, but the only way to reach the departure end of the active runway, runway 30, was to enter runway 12 and backtrack.
		Pan Am's First Officer Bragg called the KLM crew, asking how long it would take to refuel to which they replied "About 35 minutes." There was nothing the crew of 1736 could do but wait.

	History's worst aviation accident turned on twists of fate
		The Pan Am crew disembarked onto the tarmac to see if they could maneuver their own 747 around the giant KLM plane and jump into the takeoff queue.
		The Pan Am plane was to follow down the same runway, but turn off into a holding area so that the runway would be clear for the Dutch crew.
		As the Pan Am crew watched the KLM plane's tail lights disappear into the mist, it was still some 400 yards from the holding area.

		All 234 passengers and 14 crew members in the KLM plane were killed, and 335 of the 396 aboard the Pan Am flight (326 passengers and 9 crew members) perished, primarily due to the fire and explosions resulting from the fuel spilled in the impact.

		Although the Pan Am crew indicated that they would prefer to circle until landing clearance was given, the plane was ordered to divert to Tenerife North Airport (Los Rodeos) on the nearby island of Tenerife, together with many other planes.
		Pan Am was instructed to taxi along the same runway and take the third exit on their left, leaving the main runway, and head to the parallel taxiway.

	AirDisaster.Com: Special Report: Tenerife
		The Pan Am Captain, Victor Grubbs, a 57 year old, 21,000 hour pilot sensed from the Spanish air traffic controller's instructions that Las Palmas was expecting to reopen before long and, knowing that his aircraft had more than adequate fuel reserves, asked to possibly be put in a holding pattern until it did open.
		The Pan Am passengers stayed on their aircraft the whole time it was on the ground, only the doors being opened for them to get some fresh air and to take some photographs of what scenery they could see from the aircraft.
		The First Officer and the Flight Engineer left the aircraft and measured the clearance left by the KLM aircraft, reaching the conclusion that it was insufficient to allow PA1736 to pass by, obliging them to wait until the former had started to taxi.

		The first helicopter capable of flight was the work of Ellehammer of Denmark (1912), based on C. Renard's articulated rotor blade (1904) and G. Crocco's cyclic pitch control (1906).
		Juan de la Cierva invented the autogiro (1922), differing from the helicopter in that its rotor autorotated and the engine drove a normal propeller.
		The first plane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight was the American rocket-propelled Bell X-1, which reached Mach 1.06 (approximately 750 m.p.h.) on October 14, 1947.

		Pan Am: "Uh, we were instructed to contact you and also to taxi down the runway.
		If the Pan Am had been able to make it around the KLM when it was refueling, it wouldn't have been there when the KLM was taking off.

		The Pan Am Plane is stuck behind the KLM which is still refueling.
		And that occurred with the Pan Am jet in this accident—that their transmission that they were still on the runway only came through partially or was incomplete, at the same time that the KLM airplane had initiated its takeoff roll.

		A miscommunication between the tower and KLM flight 4805 caused its captain to believe he was cleared for take off, while Pan-Am flight 1736 was still taxiing on the same runway.
		The two flights, like many other flights that day, were diverted to Tenerife from their original destination of Las-Palmas, due to a terrorist attack in Las-Palmas, this may have added to stress and fatigue of the flight crews and pressure to meet schedule.
		The cockpit voice recorder of the KLM flight indicated that the flight engineer showed concern that the other aircraft is still on the runway: "Did he [Pan-Am flight] not clear the runway then?" but no action was taken by anyone of the crew to abort the takeoff.
