Grazza

In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the worst air crash in history, here are a few pictures taken at the memorial in La Laguna, Tenerife, two weeks ago.

The airport and Teide are visible in the background.

The plaque.

The airport tower and runway can be seen behind the base of the memorial.

The layout of the runway and taxiways hasn't changed much. When my flight left a few days later, I recognized the point where we took off as being pretty much exactly the same as the point of impact in 1977.
