On the 27th march, 1977, two 747s collided and 583 people died. They were a KLM 747-206B and a Pan Am 747-121. The cause was low visibility, rushing to take off and poor communication. 70 initially survived but 9 died due to injuries later so 61 survived in the end.
The Tenerife disaster was the worst aviation accident in history.

Tenerifian 

Some one born in Tenerife, of spanish nationality but usually accused of being African due to being closer to africa then spain.

Tenerifian's call themselves Chicharreros, and within spain they are called Tinerfenhos.

They are people with a great sence of humour, even thought they are short they have been greatly designed, and they are better looking and overall better than the rest of spain and quite possibly the world, they are incredibly better than people from Gran Canaria too (canariones) as they are a bunch of gay chulos.
''Olle Javier, arent you going to help your neighbor Miguel who has just fallen off his moto, and his leg is pointing the wrong way... and some dog its trying to run off with its bone?''

''No, sod him, he is Canarion!''

PS - daddy yankey is not Tenerifian
