Accidentally, it seems that the majority of the passengers on the Panam airplane were on their way to a cruiseship. I read somewhere the thoughts of an officer who saw the keys of the empty cabins rinkling in the night with the movement of the ship. Similarities with the Concorde disaster.
Let's hope such things don't occur again.

Here's an excerpt from the book "Salute to the CROWN", written by Frank O. Braynard:
"On board one of the airliners were most of the passengers headed for a cruise on GOLDEN ODYSSEY, as well as staff of the company. In the face of such a stunning blow, there was little alternative. Together, the company and remaining passengers quietly decided to go on with the cruise, as a sort of memorial to their lost friends. An officer of the GOLDEN ODYSSEY recalls that the enormity of the disaster really dawned on him when he walked down a hallway on the first night. Seeing most of the stateroom keys still swinging from the door locks, he was forced to remember that each empty cabin would have been occupied by old friends he would never see again, or new ones he would never know."

Our departure was on a bright, cloudless day. I recall saying to hubby that I really didn't want to ever again arrive in the middle of the night. With Mount Tiede rising sky high on one side and the ocean on the other, there was absolutely no margin for error on that runway.
It is one of the most beautiful spots in the world and hopefully, this Fall we'll visit again - this time from a cruise ship!
