Aviokatastrofu izmeklēšana

A terrorist bombing in the Canary Islands reroutes dozens of flights to the Spanish island of Tenerife. The tiny airport is swamped, and with so many planes parked in the taxiways, controllers instruct departing flights to use the airport's only runway to get into position for takeoff. Amongst the planes leaving, obscured by the heavy fog-are two 747s. But Pan Am Flight 1736 is still on the runway when KLM Flight 4805 careens toward it. Killing 583 people, the high-speed collision remains the single deadliest aviation accident of all time. Blame soon falls on one pilot, but as investigators sift through the evidence the true story behind the Tenerife disaster grows more and more complex.
