How planes got lost because of a broken clock. ðŸ˜ą This short documentary reveals how a single broken clock played a shocking role in the deadliest aviation accident in history. On March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747s—KLM and Pan Am—ended up on the same fog-covered runway at Tenerife Airport. A wrong time displayed inside the control tower triggered delays, miscommunication, and fatal timing errors. Believing he had clearance to take off, the KLM captain accelerated while the Pan Am jet was still on the runway. Seconds later, the two aircraft collided, killing 583 people. This story proves that in aviation, even the smallest mistake—a single incorrect time—can lead to unimaginable tragedy.
