On March 27, 1977, on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, two fully loaded 747 jumbo jets collided on a fogbound runway, killing 583 people in what is still the deadliest crash in aviation history. At the time, the facts of the accident were shocking and inexplicable. In a fog, a KLM 747 began an unauthorized takeoff, slamming into a Pan Am 747 that was taxiing on the same runway. The best and the brightest pilots, including KLM's senior captain and head of safety, were at the helm. What could have triggered the accident? NOVA looks back at the crucial final hours before the disaster, when an improbable chain of coincidences, bad luck, and misjudgments snowballed into tragedy.

From human error and accidents to mechanical faults and design flaws, the success of aviation history is punctuated with disaster and catastrophe. It's rare, but it does happen. Follow experts as they determine what went wrong and work out how to prevent these horrific tragedies from happening again. Examine the wrecks and official records, and hear from eyewitnesses, passengers and aviation experts as we reconstruct some of the most tragic disasters in aviation history.

Unravelling the events that led to two modern passenger jets falling out of the sky, and why the story of the fastest-selling aircraft in Boeing's history ended in tragedy. On 29 October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea, and all 189 people on board died. Less than five months later, on 10 March 2019, an Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX also crashed, and the 157 people on board were all killed. The documentary examines the crash reports to explore how these catastrophes could have been avoided, using state-of-the-art flight simulation and vivid CGI sequences to chart the flights' final moment.
