Did you watch the Nova episode called The Deadliest Plane Crash? It's like I survived. What year was it from? It's 2006. It feels old. I may have. Yeah, yeah. I bet you did because it totally reads like an I survived episode. Okay. And it's so hard to watch. And the rest of the sources can be found in the show notes. That was the main source I used when I watched it and cried.

But then I was like, Vince, I shouldn't do this this week, right? And he was like, I'm not worried about it. And I'm like, oh, it's just us who have anxiety. Yeah.

Yeah, in a car accident. Cars are less safe than airplanes.

Yeah. And I think that we also feel some kind of control when it comes to stepping into our bathtub or getting into a car. We at least have a little bit of control over what's happening. And in an airplane, you give it all up. And so it's scary.

Yeah, carry a beta blocker. You don't have to take it, but just like knowing that it's in my purse does help sometimes. Okay. Also, we're getting on a plane next month, you and I, so sorry about that.

Someone's flying right now and they're like, I'm just going to listen until I can't anymore. Yeah. Jessica, stay with us. You've got this. Okay. So let's talk about the Canary Islands. They're a chain of seven islands off the coast of northwestern Africa, as you know. However, they're Spanish territories. This is clearly a bit contentious with everybody.

There have been several movements for independence over the years with disputes of who controls some of the waters around the islands. Regardless, we're not getting to that today. The islands are a hugely popular tourist destination. You've heard of them, right? I have because there was those murders. Oh, that's right. Yeah, recently. Regardless, so the islands are sunny. They're tropical.

They're tropical.

It's tropical weather pretty much year round. And they are home to hundreds of beach resorts and water parks. A beautiful place to go. When you hear British people talking about a sun holiday, they're probably talking about the Canary Islands. Like they go there a lot. So here we are on the island of Gran Canaria on March 27th, 1977. It's shortly after 1 p.m.

at the Gran Canaria Airport, which is the main airport servicing the island. So it's a pretty sizable island and airport. And a bomb explodes in the departures area. Oh. So this is just one of those little moments. It has nothing to do with the plane crash that's going to happen later. It's just a chance thing that leads to the next thing, right?

A group called the Canary Islands Separatist Movement takes credit for the explosion, injures eight people, and the group threatens that there will be a second explosion that day. So that's the first thing that happens. The airport's evacuated, obviously, and all flights that are scheduled to land there are diverted, right?
