There is something inherently frightening about the thought of dying in air. Being in the air at the moment of an emergency leaves you feeling tremendously helpless.

Here are some of those horrors come true- the 7 worst plane crashes in history.

1. MARCH 27, 1977 KLM AND PAN AM


The KLM plane collided with the Pan AM plane (both Boeing 747s) in foggy weather at Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands. 583 people were reported dead from this incident. The KLM jet seemed to have departed without permission and there was confusion over instructions given over radio.
