The biggest accident in aviation history so far. Do you know where it happened? It happened at the airport. It was the accident of 1977. A KLM aircraft had just refueled and there was a Pan Am airplane. Both were on the same runway. There was a lot of fog. Visibility was poor. The KLM plane attempted to take off without ATC approval and collided with the Pan Am airplane at the same time.
00:29He saw at the end that it's there. He even tried to lift. The weight of the fuel is so much that he couldn't lift it and it took the lives of around 500-600 people. During takeoff the fuel is highest and that is the time when the engine needs the most lift and any fault can occur. That is the time when a bird hit can happen. There are so many risk factors during takeoff. So many lives were lost in what is today's world's biggest aviation tragedy. It did not happen in the sky. It happened at the airport.
