Inside the Tenerife Crash

In 1977, two fully loaded B747s collided in Tenerife in the world's deadliest air disaster, with 583 fatalities. Years later as a pilot with United Airlines, Laura Savino piloted the B747 with the surviving Pan Am pilot from this crash, Captain Robert Bragg. Privileged to hear intimate details regarding what the pilots were actually thinking, Savino shares Captain Bragg's insights and discusses the inception of CRM (cockpit resource management), spurred by this crash.
Captain Laura Savino piloted the B777, B767, B757, B747, B737, A319 and A320 as an international airline pilot for United Airlines. Laura flew for Eastern and Pan Am regionals before that. On her way to becoming a commercial airline pilot, she worked as a flight instructor, charter pilot, freight pilot, aerial sightseeing tour pilot and aircraft repossessor.
