Maybe some of the older guys remember the news pictures of this...
KLM and Pan Am 747s collided at Tenerife killing over 500.
Still #1 on the list of worst crashes.
For the record, #2 is the one with th Il-76 that had a midair with a Saudi 747 on Haji flight... because of metric / feet misreading

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

A mention of this on the news yesterday. I remember when that happened. There's also been some rather close calls since then that would have resulted in a similar disaster had the worst happened. 583 (?) peopled died.

I had a similar thought while reading this...but more in the terms of "Peanuts...sheesh! Two A380....now that would go "bang"!" Cheesy
