NHTSA Probes Tesla

History

Historical Context

The deadliest crash on March 27 1977, when KLM and Pan Am 747s collided on Tenerife’s runway, killed 583 people and spurred worldwide adoption of standard radio phraseology and crew-resource-management training. Those reforms underpin today’s FAA runway-safety rules, which the NTSB, Boeing and Miami International Airport are applying after a 767-300 overran Runway 30 by 1,300 feet.
