That's not the answer that I was looking for.

The answer I was looking for is The ARPANET (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET). :)

According to the wiki you linked Ward Christensen ran the first BBS.

March 27 1977 there was a bad plane crash, where did it take place.

[THERESA]

Tenerife, a pan-shaped speck in the Atlantic. It's one of the Canary Islands, a volcanic chain governed by the Spanish, clustered a few hundred miles off the coast of Morocco. The big town on Tenerife is Santa Cruz, and its airport, beneath a set of cascading hillsides, is called Los Rodeos. There, on March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747s -- one belonging to KLM, the other to Pan Am -- collided on a foggy runway. Five hundred and eighty-three people were killed. The KLM jet had commenced takeoff without permission, slamming broadside into the taxiing Pan Am jumbo as it swerved to avoid impact.
