The worst aviation disaster in terms of loss of human life would be the Tenerife airport disaster.

Due to poor visibility and misunderstood radio communications, two Boeing 747's collided on the runway at the Los Rodeos Airport in Tenerife Spain resulting in 583 deaths.

Captain Jacob Veldhuyzen van Zanten of KLM Flight 4805 was on a takeoff roll when it struck Pan Am flight 1736 piloted by Captain Victor Grubbs.

The place crash that killed Buddy Holly was caused chiefly by pilot error. The plane took off at night with low clouds, conditions that require relying on flight instruments. The pilot was unqualified for that type of flying. The pilot may also have been confused by the plane's artificial horizon, which used a different means of display from the planes he had been trained on.
