Several glaring errors & omissions in this video. Kobe died in a helicopter, not a plane. John Denver caused his own death by screwing around with his fuel controls. The plane was not out of fuel, but the engines were fuel-starved.

[@Meriale46]

That was so tragic. I had just purchased their new album 'Street Survivors' with the group standing in flames the day before they crashed and the day after the crash record stores were pulling them from the shelves. It was devistating because we had seen them play in April of that same year. It was one hellva show. It would be the last time I saw Ronnie sing. It was so sad to hear he and the Gains siblings had died. It hit everybody hard.

[@sherryoneill8020]

I always thought it was so prophetic the line in "Freebird". I'm sure he sang it at the concert the night the crash happened: "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me? I must be passing on now, cause there's too many places I've got to see........Cause I'm as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change."

The tragedy abruptly halted Lynyrd Skynyrd's career until Van Zant's brother, Johnny, reformed the band ten years later.

The plane was supposed to be taken by Aerosmith and they rejected it when the FAA put the plane OOS. The pilots had their buddies fix & inspect the plane to make it flyable. Cassie had a ticket on another plane but Ronnie convinced her to sell it back.

@@michaelboyce9373 One of the women protested, but was overruled due to arrogance. Maybe that was Cassie? And I think Van Zant was the one who refused to listen to her.

Steve Fossett disappeared on September 3, 2007 while piloting a light aircraft over the Great Basin Desert, between Nevada and California. Fossett set more than one hundred records in five different sports, sixty of which still stood at the time of his death. The crash was probably caused by powerful wind gusts that forced his small plane to slam into a mountain. His sweatshirt and wallet were found 10 miles from the crash site raising speculation that he survived the initial impact or that a bear ate portions of his body.

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen, known in English as Baron von Richthofen or the Red Baron, was a fighter pilot with the German Air Force during World War I. He is considered the ace-of-aces of the war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories. Richthofen was shot down and killed near Vaux-sur-Somme on 21 April 1918. There has been considerable discussion and debate regarding aspects of his career, especially the circumstances of his death. He remains one of the most widely known fighter pilots of all time, and has been the subject of many books, films, and other media.

Richthofen was not killed because of a crash--he was killed by anti-aircraft fire from one of several Australian anti-aircraft gunners on the ground. Additionally, despite being credited with Richthofen's death, Canadian pilot Roy Brown did not fire the round that killed Richtofen. Brown killing Richtofen was impossible given the position of the two two aircraft when Brown fired, in relation to Richthofen's fatal wound.

I had a couple of close calls in commercial planes, that could have been disastrous had the problems not been caught before takeoff. In one case, it would have taken so long to fix the problem that I would have missed my connection, so they took me off of that plane with my carry-on bag and booked me on another to the same destination. I had to call my brother, who was going to pick me up at the airport on arrival, to tell him of the new flight number. There was another such incident with the onboard computer, which they caught and fixed on another plane I was on, before it lifted off. Most fortunate, I would say. I don't like to fly, anymore. The last time I flew it was so chaotic in the airport that I got really nervous to the point where they suspected me going through security and searched my bag. Found nothing, and I was allowed to board. But I was very nervous that day, due to an issue with my boarding pass. Flying isn't fun, anymore.
