The worst aircraft accident in history - that is, the accident that resulted in the most fatalities - occurred on 27 March 1977 when a KLM Boeing 747 passenger jet collided with a Pan Am Boeing 747 passenger jet on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport at Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The collision killed all 248 people on board the KLM jet and 335 of 396 people on the Pan Am jet, for a total of 583 fatalities.

Will there be a Coronation Street plane crash in 2011?

There was no plane crash in Coronation Street in 2011. However, at the end of 2010 there was a tram crash that caused Molly Dobbs and Ashley Peacock to die and many others were seriously injured. Coronation Street is only ever filmed in the actual street, we very rarely see anywhere else. Therefore a plane crash is quite unlikely to occur on Coronation Street.
