On March 27, 1977, while a first officer with Pan Am, Capt. Bragg was involved in one of the worst aviation accidents in history at Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. Capt. Bragg's B-747 was struck while on the runway by another B-747 belonging to KLM Airline. This accident accounted for 583 deaths.  For his efforts in assisting fellow crewmembers and passengers, Robert Bragg received the President's Award for Heroism. He also received the FAA's Achievement Award, the highest award that the FAA can bestow on a civilian pilot and the Flight Safety Foundation's Award for Actions during the Accident.
