Ep 68 - You're Cleared for Disaster: The Tenerife Airport Crash of 1977
Welp. Just in time for holiday travel, Farz decided to tell us about the Tenerife Airport Disaster in 1977. Experienced pilots met with fog, a terrorist threat, fueling issues, confused air traffic controllers... All relatively small things that were in just the right order to cause the deadliest Plane Crash of all time. Anyone (like Taylor) who had a serious fear of flying to get over will have Wikipedia'd this story, it's a doozy. One time, mid-panic attack, a flight attendant told her she could die a thousand deaths, or she could enjoy flying and just have the one, however it comes. Which was very helpful, not all heroes wear capes. Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family, y'all!! Don't bring up politics, may we suggest plane crashes & emperors?
