The deadliest disaster in aviation history was not caused by a mechanical failure… or even by the fog alone.In 1977, two Boeing 747s collided on a runway at Los Rodeos Airport in Tenerife, killing 583 people. But the real story is far more unsettling. Visibility collapsed. Communication degraded. Assumptions survived. And piece by piece, an entire system drifted out of synchronization.This episode examines how trained professionals, working inside a crowded and increasingly uncertain environment, slowly lost the same understanding of what was happening around them.Not just a disaster story. A lesson in how clarity quietly disappears.If you enjoy thoughtful disaster analysis, hidden systems failures, aviation history, and stories that outsmart the obvious, subscribe and join us.#Tenerife #AviationHistory #PlaneCrash #DisasterDocumentary #AnOunceCHAPTERS / TIMELINE00:00 — The Bomb That Started Everything 02:08 — Diversion to Tenerife 02:28 — An Airport Beyond Its Limits 04:31 — Fog and Fragmented Awareness 06:41 — Pressure Inside the Cockpit 08:16 — Assumptions Begin Taking Over 09:57 — Radio Confusion in the Fog 11:47 — “Is He Not Clear, Then?” 13:17 — Collision on the Runway 14:52 — The Lessons Written in Blood 16:47 — Not Just Fog 18:28 — An OunceCOMPANION EPISODE RECOMMENDATIONThe Attack That Wasn't | When the System Was Wrong https://youtu.be/tyhanM96jAYWhy: Both episodes examine:systems degradation incomplete information dangerous assumptions professionals operating inside uncertainty catastrophic risk emerging from fragmented awareness TAGSTenerife disaster, Tenerife airport disaster, deadliest aviation disaster, aviation history, plane crash documentary, KLM 4805, Pan Am 1736, Tenerife runway collision, aviation disaster analysis, aircraft collision, aviation documentary, disaster documentary, aviation safety, Crew Resource Management, CRM aviation, runway incursion, fog disaster, airport disaster, historical disasters, systems failure, communication failure, disaster analysis, airplane documentary, Boeing 747 disaster, Los Rodeos airport, An Ounce Podcast, aviation accidents, air traffic control, aviation mysteries, aviation tragedy
In this episode of Superlative, aBlogtoWatch founder and our host, Ariel Adams, sits down with Stephen Cox, founder of Sopwith Watch Company, to explore the fascinating intersection of aviation history and horology. Stephen shares the incredible story behind building a watch brand that uses material from authentic historic aircraft, including World War I planes and iconic military machines, to create watch cases with a direct connection to history. From sourcing century-old materials to building an in-house foundry in Texas, Stephen explains what it takes to transform rare aviation artifacts into modern timepieces.The conversation also dives into Stephen's lifelong fascination with World War I aviation, his career in motorsports and television, and the philosophy behind creating watches that prioritize authenticity over marketing. Along the way, Ariel and Stephen unpack the evolution of military aviation, the watches worn by early pilots, and why the emotional connection to history matters just as much as the mechanics inside the watch. Whether you love aviation, military history, independent watchmaking, or all three, this episode offers a unique look at a brand trying to do something completely different in the world of watches.Learn more about Sopwith Watch Company:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sopwithwatchcompany/ - Website - https://sopwithwatch.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:The ocean is the perfect place to hide a weapon you never want seen, and nuclear submarines proved it. We follow the moment the US Navy realizes its World War II era anti-submarine warfare playbook can't protect billion-dollar supercarriers anymore, then track the unlikely solution: a compact jet that sounds like a vacuum cleaner and thinks like a computer. The Lockheed S-3 Viking, nicknamed the “Hoover,” isn't built for speed or glamour. It's built to stay out for hours, digest a flood of signals, and keep a carrier battle group alive.We unpack what made the S-3 a leap in carrier-based ASW: the UNIVAC 1832 digital brain, a sensor suite designed for detection and classification, and the tactics that turn chaos into geometry with sonobuoy grids and triangulation. Then we get into the eerie “sixth sense” that closes the loop, the Magnetic Anomaly Detector boom that can confirm a submarine by sensing tiny changes in Earth's magnetic field. If you've ever wondered how naval aviation makes an opaque ocean feel transparent, this is the roadmap.The story doesn't end with the Cold War. We dig into how the Viking mutates into a surface hunter, tanker, COD aircraft, and intelligence platform, plus the wild footnote of “Navy 1” and a presidential carrier landing. Finally, we wrestle with the hard trade that retires a specialist predator in favor of cheaper generalist logistics and what that decision means now that quiet submarines are back in contested seas.

Send us a message or question! Episode available on general release on Wednesday 1st April. Episode SummaryIn the final episode of Series 4, Jane and James are joined by historian and former RAF intelligence officer Andrew White to explore a lesser-known aspect of the Second World War air war: the internment of Allied airmen in neutral countries.When aircraft came down in neutral territory, aircrew entered a complex legal and diplomatic grey area — neither prisoners of war nor free to return home. Drawing on Andrew's research and experience, this episode examines how internment worked in practice, how different countries interpreted their obligations, and what life was like for the men caught in between war and neutrality.We explore the legal framework governing internment, the countries involved, the lived experiences of interned airmen, and the moral and political tensions that shaped their treatment. The discussion also touches on escape attempts, repatriation, and the controversial question of whether some airmen may have sought internment deliberately.As Series 4 draws to a close, this episode reflects the podcast's wider aim — to go beyond operations and aircraft, and to uncover the human stories and complexities behind the bombing war.What We Cover What internment meant under international law during WWII Which nations interned British and Allied airmen Living conditions and day-to-day experiences of interned crews How politics and neutrality influenced treatment Changes in policy as the war progressed Repatriation and the duration of internment Escape attempts from neutral countries The controversial idea of “choosing” internment About Our GuestAndrew White is a retired RAF intelligence officer (Wing Commander) who served from 1985 to 2011, including operational tours in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, and Iraq.He now works as a battlefield guide and military historian, and is the author of three published biographies of airmen from the First and Second World Wars.Series 4This episode marks the final instalment of Series 4 of Never Mind the Dambusters.Across the series, we've explored a wide range of topics, including: RAF Bomber Command operations and strategy The Short Stirling and De Havilland Mosquito The Peenemünde raids and V-weapons programme The USAAF bombing campaign over Schweinfurt Bomb disposal in Hamburg Cold War bombers and evolving air strategy Thank you to all our guests — and to everyone who has listened, supported, and joined the conversation along the way.

In Bro Chat #21, Mike "FLASH" McVeigh, John "RAIN" Waters, Jeff "VADER" Brandon, Jeff "BENDER" Page, and Kevin "KONAN" Parkhurst debate the greatest fighter pilots in American history — and can't fully agree on a single mountain. Robin Olds is a given. Everything else is up for grabs. From Royce Williams' classified Korean War sortie to Richard Bong's 40 kills in a P-38, from John Boyd's OODA loop to Eddie Rickenbacker setting the standard in WWI — we make the case, defend the picks, and violently disagree in the comments section.

What happens when a life-or-death medical emergency unfolds at 35,000 feet… and there is a surgeon onboard? This week on The Red Eye, we bring you one of the most extraordinary true aviation stories ever to reach our inbox - a tale that was told to our writer not in a galley, bar or crew room, but in the side room of a hospital emergency department.While a surgeon was treating our writer's son for a collapsed lung, she casually mentioned a layover in New York and the surgeon froze. “I don't suppose you were on that famous flight where…” And with that, this story began.In Surgeon in the Skies, we take you back to Hong Kong, 1995, where a routine long-haul flight became an airborne operating theatre. With only a basic medical kit, a coat hanger, a knife and fork, repair tape, and a bottle of First Class brandy, two doctors, Professor Angus Wallace and Dr. Wong, performed an emergency surgicaln procedure in the back row of a 747 - saving a passenger's life mid-flight.This gripping episode blends true aviation history, medical drama, and the incredible resourcefulness of cabin crew and passengers when the stakes couldn't be higher. No exaggeration: this remains one of the most legendary real in-flight medical events ever reported. And it's still studied by medical professionals today!If you love aviation stories, true survival tales, behind-the-scenes airline moments, and unbelievable but true emergencies, this is an episode you'll never forget.Send us a text!

In many ways, America's modern obsession with true crime began on March 1st, 1932, when the 20th-month-old-son of the most famous man in America, aviator Charles Lindbergh, was kidnapped from his fortress of a home. The press would cover the subsequent investigation and trial of the man responsible like the press had never covered a crime before. There was so much public interest in this case, that Charles and his wife would literally leave the country to avoid the public's intense and overwhelming interest in their lives.

Send us a textThis June, I sat down with bestselling author Tracey Enerson Wood to talk about her newest historical novel, Katharine, the Wright Sister: A Novel (2024). The book shines a spotlight on Katharine Wright, the often-overlooked sister of Wilbur and Orville Wright—whose contributions were vital to the invention and promotion of the airplane.Tracey and I talk about her path from registered nurse to novelist, her love of writing about “hidden women in history,” and her other works: The Engineer's Wife, The War Nurse, The President's Wife, Homefront Cooking, and Life Hacks for Military Spouses.Since recording this, I've begun work on my women in aviation history textbook—and Katharine appears in Chapter One, in a sidebar about the hidden women who shaped early flight.Listen in for a lively, inspiring conversation about writing, research, and the women who changed history.Buy the book: Katharine, the Wright Sister#AviationHistory #WomenInAviation #BookClub #PodcastDid you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

The skies are humanities, this much we know. However, as long as we have been flying there have always been instances of planes going down or mechanical issus arising that forces a plane to make an unscheduled stop. However, typically, they will be found and recovered. One flight that even over a decade later that has never been found, is a Boeing 777 designated MH370 out of Malaysia. Due to the bizarre path the plane took and the absolutely vanishing of it and the new evidence that has arisen, leaves a lot of questions still unanswered, lets discuss that in todays episode. Thank you for watching Roanoke Tales and I hope you enjoy The BAFFLING Course Change, Disappearance And NEW EVIDENCE of Flight MH370 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/RoanokeTalesPatreon Merch: Roanokemerch.com #aviation #missing #unexplained
The 1930s were a golden age of aviation, as famous pilots like Amelia Earhart made flights once thought impossible and inspired new curiosity about the skies. At the time, more and more women were learning to fly in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, some of the first Chinese American women ever to earn pilots licenses grew up in the same tight-knit Chinese community in Portland. On this week’s show, we learn about two of these barrier-breaking pilots: Hazel Ying Lee and Leah Hing. Their passion for flying cemented their roles in the history of a country which sought to exclude them. We’ll hear how they’re remembered today - by their loved ones, by Portlanders, by Americans - at a time when so much history is intentionally being forgotten. Watch the OPB “Oregon Experience” video about Hazel Ying Lee, “Her Name Means ‘Hero.’”For episodes of The Evergreen, and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

Send us a message or question! In this episode of Never Mind the Dambusters, we join historian Dr. Sarah-Louise Miller to explore her research on WWII operations, including Operation Manna and Operation Exodus in the Spring and early summer of 1945. We examine the emotional impact of war stories, the humanitarian efforts of the RAF, and the experiences of POWs returning home. As we navigate the challenges of writing about such sensitive topics, we reflect on the power of personal stories in shaping our understanding of history. Jane relates a tragic story about Operation Sketch (the transportation home of troops from India and the Far East) in December 1945. Sarah shares her insights with us and offers a glimpse into her upcoming projects, including her research on the Pacific War in Hawaii, and the often-overlooked voices of history.You can read more about Sarah's work here.You can find her on X/twitter here.Support the showPlease subscribe to Never Mind The Dambusters wherever you get your podcasts.

We'd love your feedback! What resonated for you in this episode? What do you want more of?One of the most devastating consequences of coercive control and domestic abuse is the stripping away of the victim's identity and sense of self.The emotional and psychological abuse leads victims to feel incapable of doing even small tasks that may once have felt easy, let alone the belief that one can follow their dreams.What if finding a way to take that first step towards your dreams could catapult your healing?On this episode of The Rising Beyond Podcast, I talk with Lola REid Allin on how following her dreams to become a pilot allowed her to escape her abusive marriage in a time when it was shocking for a woman to leave her husband. In this episode we also discuss the harmful culture in the male dominated profession of aviation and what leads to this harassment and “boys club” culture.Lola shares her reason for writing her memoir, HIGHWAY to the SKY: An Aviator's Journey. It is a way that she can bring light to the many women's issues that prevent women from living out their dreams.About Lola: Lola Reid Allin is a survivor, former Airline Transport Pilot, pilot examiner, and the first female flight instructor at two flight schools (BC & ON), and the first woman to fly the Twin Otter (DHC6/300) for a scheduled air service, commemorated on the Wall of Women in Aviation History at the Bush Plane Museum in Sault Ste Marie.In addition, she is a SCUBA Dive Master, and an award-winning author and photographer whose work has appeared in many notable local, national, and international publications, including National Post, Globe & Mail, Toronto Star, National Geographic, Santa Fe Centre for Photography, Verge Magazine, & Grapevine Magazine. To promote the role of women in aviation and to encourage other females to consider aviation careers, Lola is a speaker with the Northern Lights Aero Foundation & the Eastern Ontario 99s Education & Outreach Committee. In 2022, she and Robin Hadfield, the International 99s President, created the New Track Scholarship, an annual award for female pilots.Connect with Lola: https://www.lolareidallin.com/https://www.facebook.com/Lola.Reid.Allin.Pilot/https://www.instagram.com/lola.reid.allin/https://www.linkedin.Please leave us a review!

The Battle of Britain was one of the hardest fought in the Second World War. In "Battle of Britain: Canadian Airmen in Their Finest Hour," historian Ted Barris details how Canadian flyers were vital in the battle and helped win it alongside their British counterparts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The P-47 Thunderbolt is considered one of the most important fighter-bombers used by Allied Forces in World War II. Thunderbolts flew over half a million missions and are renowned by pilots for their durability and reliability. Over one-third of all Thunderbolts were built at the Republic Aviation plant in Evansville. Notably, nearly half of the plant's employees were women. Known as “Raiderettes,” they worked alongside male workers and boasted a variety of jobs including on the assembly lines, in the administrative offices, and even as test pilots. Many of the women were “two-job workers,” balancing 14-hour shifts at Republic with raising children while their partners fought overseas. Our new blog post examines the lived experiences of the Raiderettes and how they navigated being women workers in a “man's” world, pushing against and often breaking the glass ceiling in the process. This episode was written by Kelsey Green, produced by Jill Weiss Simins, and performed by Justin Clark.

Send us a Text Message.Join guest hosts Jacque Boyd, Jenny Beatty, and me as we discuss this out-of-print treasure, Neta Snook Southern's I Taught Amelia to Fly. Through Neta's own aviation journey, we get a very special lens into the experiences of aspiring pilots in the U.S. as they pursued their dreams during and after WWI. Her childhood stories emphasize the importance of exposing our girls to science and mechanics as that exposure imbued her with the skills and confidence to not only hold her own in a male dominate world, but endeared her to her peers. Neta also offers us a new and intimate perspective of iconic Amelia Earhart during her formative years as a pilot in training.

The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Marksville is gearing up for their third annual Louisiana Rural and Economic Development Summit in Marksville, Louisiana. At this summer's LaRuE summit, industry leaders, business professionals, and experts in agriculture and technology will gather to discuss the challenges facing rural communities – with the goal of building more partnerships between agencies and Native American tribes.Chairman of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe Marshall Pierite joins us for more on this summit and what he hopes it can accomplish.Louisiana is the country's second largest seafood producer, but its commercial fishermen are, on average, among the oldest in the country, as tough conditions are turning away younger generations.Reporter for Axios New Orleans Chelsea Brasted tells us how this trend is raising concerns for the industry and consumers. Louisiana has a connection to aviation history that many don't know. The first helicopter was invented in 1922 by a man from Alexandria named Leo Ortego. More than 100 years later, his niece Mariane Elizabeth Nevill, published the book, “Leo's War,” that serves as a fictionalized account of her uncle's life based on the stories she heard about him while growing up. She joins us to discuss this book and how she hopes it can celebrate the state's aviation history.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

On Tuesday morning, December 5, 1978, 22 people were rescued off the side of a high Colorado mountain in the southern regions of the Rocky Mountains. They had survived the frigid night at an altitude above 10,000 feet (over 3,000 meters). This was in the midst of a snowstorm, with temperatures well below freezing and winds howling above 30 miles per hour (that's nearly 50 kilometers per hour). There was only minimal shelter. Some reports estimated the snow to be 8 feet deep and wind chill temperatures approaching 50 below zero. That they survived the brutal weather conditions is remarkable, but that they had also survived the reason for being stranded on the mountain – a plane crash – is even more remarkable. What follows is the story of that winter survival miracle, and the crash of Rocky Mountain Airways Flight 217.

In this interview, we get to know Jacque and Jenny, and we announce the subject of our first ‘Classics' discussion. Dr. Jacque Boyd is an educator and a general aviation pilot. She has a B.A. in Education, Psychology, and Special Education. In 1979 she was awarded the Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship from the Ninety-Nines for her M.Ed. in Aerospace Education. She also holds a PhD in Curriculum Development and Supervision. Her dissertation was a study of math and science education.Jacque's writing expertise covers several magazine columns, including the Current Issues and Tools for Schools column for Aviation for Women. She also writes extensively for The Ninety-Nines Magazine with the latest contribution being book reviews. She currently does book reviews for several publications and has experienced the fun of ghostwriting.Jacque is a self-admitted book-a-holic with well over 1000 volumes. The majority of the books are aviation-related and most about women's flight. She also has all her grandfather's education books from when he was a teacher in Kentucky in the late 1800s. Captain Jenny Beatty is a longtime airline pilot, author, and advocate for women and others underrepresented in aviation.Jenny's interest in aviation's early days stems from being in one of the few families to have three generations of women pilots. Both of her maternal grandparents learned to fly in 1930, and their daughter, Jenny's mother, earned her pilot's license in 1945. Following them into the air in 1981, Jenny became a flight instructor, airline pilot, check airman, and flight operations manager, and is rated to fly the B737, B747, B777, B787, DC-9, seaplanes, and gliders. In this portrait, Jenny is wearing her grandmother's flying jacket. To join the Literary Aviatrix Classics conversation, Jenny draws from her collection of over 350 books and magazines by and about women and other underrepresented pilots all over the world, including rare early first editions. She is a popular writer and public speaker on historical and contemporary pilot career topics.

Many of you might remember a guest we had back in season six by the name of John “Lucky” Luckadoo, the last surviving original pilot from the 100th Bomb group. As a B-17 Bomber Pilot, he flew twenty five missions out of England during WWII. When we spoke with Lucky, he was with author, Kevin Maurer who told his story in a book called, “Damn Lucky, One Man's Courage During the Bloodiest Military Campaign in Aviation History”. Almost two years have passed since that episode aired and we have continued to stay in touch with Lucky. In February of this year, (2024) I was able speak with Lucky who, at the time, was three weeks shy of his 102nd birthday! In this episode of Your History Your Story, I'll be sharing my conversation with Lucky about the recent Apple TV series “Masters of the Air”, which tells the story of the 100th Bomb Group, known as the “Bloody Hundredth”. Although, when we spoke, all the episodes had not yet aired, I was able to get Lucky's thoughts on what he had seen so far and how it compared to what really happened. After all, Lucky was there...

On March 8th, 2014, 227 passengers boarded Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, taking off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 12:41 a.m., destined to arrive in Beijing, China at 6:30 a.m. Not only did the flight never land in Beijing, it never made it even close. It turned around and disappeared several thousand miles away over the Indian Ocean and has never been found. What happened? Today we'll go over the details of who was on the flight, how the investigation of the disappearance was handled, and look into numerous theories and conspiracies regarding what happened to a plane full of 239 passengers and crew. We'll also cover the disappearances of several other flights that have vanished over the years. And I'll talk a lot about Dick Quest's dick quest...Bad Magic Charity of the Month: Donating a TBD amount to the Hill Country Humane Society this month.
