Tenerife Airport disaster
The Tenerife Airport disaster occurred on March 27, 1977, when two Boeing 747 passenger jets collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport, on the Spanish Island of Tenerife. The collision occurred when KLM flight 4805 initiated its takeoff run while Pan Am Flight 1736 was still on the runway.
The impact and resulting fire killed everyone on board KLM 4805 and most of the occupants of Pan Am 1736, with only 61 survivors in the front section of the aircraft. Resulting in 583 fatalities, the disaster is the deadliest accident in aviation history.
A terrorist incident at Gran Canaria Airport had caused many flights to be diverted to Los Rodeos, including the two aircraft involved in the accident. The airport quickly became congested with parked airplanes blocking the only taxiway and forcing departing aircraft to taxi on the runway instead.
Patches of thick fog were drifting across the airfield; hence visibility was greatly reduced for pilots and the control tower.
The subsequent investigation by Spanish Authorities concluded that the primary cause of the accident was the KLM captain’s decision to take off in the mistaken belief that a takeoff clearance from air traffic control had been issued.

🔐 Gabarito trancado (clique para revelar)
🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada
O texto afirma que o impacto e o incêndio subsequente mataram todos os ocupantes do voo KLM 4805, enquanto houve sobreviventes apenas no avião da Pan Am. Assim, é possível inferir que toda a tripulação e os passageiros da KLM morreram.
📝 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas
(A) ❌ the collision resulted in the death of everyone from Pan Am aircraft
O texto diz que houve 61 sobreviventes da Pan Am.
🚩 Pegadinha: generalização absoluta (“everyone”) contradiz dado numérico explícito.
(B) ❌ more than 1736 people died in the accident
O número 1736 refere-se ao voo da Pan Am, não à quantidade de mortos.
🚩 Pegadinha: confusão entre número de voo e número de vítimas.
(C) ❌ there were 61 survivors from KLM
Os 61 sobreviventes eram da Pan Am, não da KLM.
🚩 Pegadinha: troca proposital das companhias aéreas.
(D) ✅ the crew from KLM died
Se todos a bordo da KLM morreram, a tripulação está incluída.
🚩 Pegadinha: a alternativa menciona apenas a tripulação, exigindo inferência a partir do termo mais amplo “everyone on board”.
🧠 Resumo Final
✔ Todos os ocupantes do voo KLM 4805 morreram
✔ Houve sobreviventes apenas na Pan Am
✔ A alternativa correta exige inferência lógica
🎯 Gabarito confirmado: (D)
