March 27, 1977 - At 2:00 in the afternoon, a thick fog rolled into the usually quiet Los Rodeos Airport in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands... nobody could predict that this would be the "worst air disaster in history".
On the runway sat two fully loaded jumbo airliners, blanketed in fog. An explosion at a nearby airport had redirected air traffic to the undermanned airfield at Tenerife. Within three hours 583 people would be dead.
To explain how it happened, Crash of the Century reconstructs the moments leading up to this terrible tragedy.

In September 2006 two modern aircraft collide in Brazilian airspace. With all 154 souls aboard the domestic flight dead.
The pressure is on investigator Colonel Rufino Ferreira to find out how this aircrash could have happened. With skies so tightly controlled he must first understand why the air traffic control didn’t spot that the two planes were on a collision course. As the investigation unfolds he will uncover an alarming litany of human errors lay behind the catastrophe. Shockingly, these errors had been made before: a decade earlier a fatal pilot error lead to the deaths of 349 people in the world’s deadliest aircrash collision over India. Then, human error caused a terrifying near aircrash in the skies over Japan. Why didn’t the lessons learned from these two incidents prevent the deadly mid-air collision over Brazil?
