The Tenerife airport disaster was caused by dense fog, miscommunication between air traffic control and pilots, and a premature takeoff, leading to a deadly runway collision between two airplanes. Meanwhile, the Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision was India's deadliest aviation disaster, caused by altitude miscommunication and poor coordination between two international flights.
