"Collision on Tenerife is compelling and engaging, taking the reader from how it happened to why it happened, and revealing the series of individually inconsequential decisions that perfectly aligned and resulted in disaster."

"Here we have – finally – a harrowing account, impressively researched and thoroughly reported, of the world's worst air disaster. Ziomek offers deep insight into not only the behavioral errors that led up to the disaster but also the psychological aspects of catastrophe and its aftereffects. A story that lingers in the mind long after the reading." 

• "I am VERY impressed! You did a fantastic job of weaving many interviews into a coherent story of this most cataclysmic event" – David Alexander.

• "...how awesome your book is.  It is the most well-written and detailed account of the 'real story' of the crash" – Joani Feathers.

"This book tells the story of what my parents went through as they miraculously survived the crash. Yet, only those close to my mother would know the impact this crash had on everything she did for the remainder of her life."

• Was there a single cause of the accident? No. There was a series of overlapping mistakes and coincidences that resulted in the collision of the two planes.
• Why were those two jets even at that airport?  They weren't supposed to be. This is just one of the many horrible coincidences of the day. A terrorist bomb had diverted flights from a nearby island.

•  Did anyone survive? Yes. The Pan Am jet had 61 survivors. No one on the KLM jet survived, The death total was 583. 

• Is flying safer now? Yes, although, as the book explains, it could be even safer with a few simple steps by passengers. All passengers should look at the safety card – and listen to the flight attendants.
