520    The world's worst air disaster happened more than 40 years
       ago on a remote Atlantic Ocean island, when two fully 
       loaded 747 passenger jets collided after a horrendous 
       series of human errors. One of the jets, KLM Flight 4805, 
       was traveling more than 150 miles an hour and was within 
       seconds of lifting off when it crashed into Pan Am Flight 
       1736 taxiing in its path. The loss of lives was staggering
       --583 dead. The crash happened after a lengthy series of 
       major and minor human errors. In the intervening years, 
       has aviation advanced to the point that such a disaster 
       can't happen again? In this riveting account, written from
       the perspective of the passengers in the cabin as well as 
       the crew members in the cockpits, Jon Ziomek explains how 
       this largely forgotten accident took place--and what has 
       happened since to reduce the possibility of another such 
       catastrophe.
