1977年3月27日,两架747大型喷汽飞机在加那利群岛的特纳夫机场跑道上高速相撞,导致两架飞机上多达583名的乘客和机组人员死亡。其中,荷航客机上的257人全部遇难,泛美班机上则有61人奇迹般得以生还。如果不计地面人员的伤亡,这场空难至今还是死伤最惨重的空难,也是在9·11事件发生前总伤亡人数最多的航空事故。 On March 27, 1977, two 747 large jet aircraft collided on a high speed at the Tenement Runway in the Canary Islands, killing as many as 583 passengers and crew on both aircraft. Among them, 257 people on KLM’s passenger plane were all killed and 61 people on the Pan Am flight were miraculously survived. Excluding the casualties of the ground crew, the crash was by far the most tragic casualty and the largest casualty of aviation accidents before the September 11 incident.
