"Crowded Skies
Sun 10 Aug, 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm 60mins

In 1977 the world's worst ever air accident claimed the lives of some 583 people when two aircraft collided in thick fog on a runway on the island of Tenerife. Unable to see through the fog, the air traffic controller responsible for guiding the jets didn't even know they'd collided. In 2001 a remarkably similar accident occurred at Milan, when again, two aircraft at the airport collided in heavy fog. This programme asks how, 24 years after the catastrophe that was Tenerife, history was able to repeat itself with the tragic loss of over a hundred lives?"
