1972 Tenerife Spantax Convair CV-990 crash

In command was Captain Daniel Núñez Ronda, a 32-year-old former Spanish Air Force pilot, who was accompanied by 36-year-old First Officer Francisco Javier Saavedra and 30-year-old Flight Engineer José Alberto Sanz.The left wing hit the ground about 325 metres (1,066 ft) past the end of the runway, rupturing a fuel tank before the rest of the fuselage touched down.Due to the unstable political situation unfolding, authorities suspected a bomb could have brought the aircraft down.The investigators also faulted the ATC controller for letting the aircraft take off in conditions it was not certified to fly in.The board recommended that ATC should inform crews about the conditions via the newly developed ATIS, which was introduced about a year later.
