Accident
The flight took off at 06:45am in almost zero visibility and crashed shortly after, 325 metres (1,066 ft) beyond the runway.[1] At an altitude of 91 m (300 ft), the pilot initiated a steep turn, lost control, and caused the aircraft to crash as a result of the unusual maneuver. The crew's loss of situational awareness in the low-visibility conditions was also a factor.[1][2][3][4] All 155 people aboard were killed.[1][5][6]
At the time, the accident was the deadliest aircraft crash on the island of Tenerife, to be surpassed by the Tenerife airport disaster five years later. It was the eighth loss and deadliest accident involving a Convair 990 Coronado.[7]
Aircraft
The accident aircraft had been in service since 1962. The airplane was destroyed in the crash and was written off.[1]
