    Dutch arrogance. They didn't accept the conclusions if the accident report.

    An unforgettable tragedy, but for a whole string of events and circumstances, sudden fog, and taking off without clearance by the KLM Captain Van Zanten, this disaster would not have happened.
    I recommend two books: 'Never Wait For The Fire Truck' by David Yeager Alexander (a Pan Am survivor who took the iconic photograph of the Pan Am 747 in flames) and 'Collision on Tenerife' by Jon Ziomek. Both excellent, the latter very detailed.
    Also an interesting TV documentary from Holland that has rare interviews with Pan Am copilot Robert Bragg, E Dreifus from NTSB, and American Pilots Association P Roitsch. These interviews are in English, the rest in Dutch. Unfortunately no English translation available, but worth seeing for these interviews and post crash scenes not always shown elsewhere.

      The Dutch version for a time was that KLM Captain Van Zanten was given ATC clearance (to fly a certain height and direction etc) and he somehow confused this for TAKEOFF clearance. The two of course are totally different clearances.

      @rainscratch You know the Dutch would say that the captain of the KLM was always right he had too have his way all of the time. Other people he worked with he was a know it all.

      By law all victim's families would receive a payment. Not sure exactly what but one report said around $US100,000.
      No amount of money as we know can make up the loss.
