March 27, 1977 – At 2:00 in the afternoon a thick fog rolled into the usually quiet Los Rodeos Airport in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. On the runway sat two fully loaded jumbo airliners, blanketed in fog. A bomb explosion at a nearby airport had re-directed air traffic to the undermanned airfield at Tenerife. Within three hours, a KLM 747 slams into a taxiing PAM 747, killing 583 people. The planes never left the ground.

Die lückenlose Aufklärung von Unfällen trägt maßgeblich zur Verbesserung der Flugsicherheit bei. Doch manchmal sind die Ermittler unterschiedlicher Meinung über die Ursachen. Ein berühmtes Beispiel ist der tragische Tod fast des gesamten Fußballteams von Manchester United im Jahr 1958 auf dem Flughafen München-Riem. Auch nach dem Absturz der polnischen Präsidentenmaschine 2010 in Smolensk kommen die Experten aus Russland und Polen zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen.
