From Wikipedia

The 1983 Madrid Airport runway collision occurred on 7 December 1983 when a departing Iberia Boeing 727 struck an Aviaco McDonnell Douglas DC-9 at Madrid-Barajas Airport, causing the deaths of 93 passengers and crew. The cause of the collision was blamed on inadequate signage and taxi markings. Among the victims were Mexican actress Fanny Cano, Spanish philosopher José María Cagigal (both aboard the Iberia 727), and South African pianist Marc Raubenheimer (aboard the Aviaco DC-9).
