#OTD 27-Mar-1989, @RangersFC defeated Dundee Utd 1-0 in the Scottish Cup Fifth Round Replay at Tannadice. Goalscorer was McCoist 49. Crowd was 21,872

@scottiebateman The cocky Dutch captain told the FO to take off when they hadn’t been cleared for take off,even after take off roll the FO questions the captain if they have take off clearance to which the captain replied sure we do,the captain took a chance and 583 people paid for it.

Two aircraft. One runway. 583 lives lost. Today marks the anniversary of the Tenerife air disaster, still the deadliest accident in aviation history. It wasn’t a single mistake. It was a chain. Fog. Pressure. Assumptions. Two highly professional crews, both believing they understood the situation… and a breakdown in communication that left no margin for recovery. That’s the uncomfortable truth about aviation, and about life more broadly. Catastrophe rarely arrives in one moment. It builds, quietly, step by step, until there’s no space left to correct it. While researching JUMBO, I had the privilege of speaking with Dorothy, a flight attendant on the Pan Am aircraft that day. She survived. And what stayed with me wasn’t just the sequence of events, it was the human side. The confusion. The disbelief. The seconds where everything changed. And the resilience required to carry that experience forward. We often talk about Tenerife in terms of procedures and lessons learned, CRM, communication, decision-making under pressure. And those lessons reshaped aviation forever. But behind all of that are people. Lives interrupted. Stories that didn’t get to finish. It remains one of the most important reminders in aviation: Clarity matters. Humility matters. And good judgement is everything. If you want to understand not just the history of the 747, but the human stories that shaped modern aviation, my book JUMBO explores moments like this in depth. Available now at all good bookstores. #Tenerife #AviationHistory #JumboBook #Boeing747 #CRM #HumanFactors #AvGeek #DecisionMaking #NeverForget

The current state of the Royal Navy: 2 aircraft carriers — neither operational. 6 Type 45 destroyers (our most powerful warships) — one operational (in Cyprus). 7 Type 23 frigates (less powerful, much older) — three operational 5 Astute class nuke-powered subs — one operational (in Arabian Sea?). Surely those responsible for this appalling state of unreadiness (a national embarrassment if ever there was one)— political, civilian and military — should be fired/charged. Their incompetence has effectively left us without a navy. Quite an achievement for an ancient island nation.

No chance

@RangersFanNI @RangersFC I think spurs will send him out on loan for another season but to another league.

sounds like no chance of getting him for the start of next season, the way Spurs are I'm not surprised, the lad could be doing with another season at Ibrox at least. Still improving, still learning, good luck to him whatever happens but hopefully this season ends with a League Winners medal for him
