Crash Scene from movie Sweet Dreams

[@malcolmkelly8475]

I have never understood the need by filmmakers to change an already dramatic event into something "more dramatic" that never happened. The aircraft basically power dove into a woods, digging a three foot hole and spreading pieces for half a mile. That would have been dramatic enough. The FAA determined the pilot, who was not portrayed here, suffered vertigo because he was trying to fly Visual Flight Rules in a situation that called a licensed Instrument Flight pilot.

[@fandoria09]

Not to forget Hughes was dealing with enclimate weather conditions that obscured visibility.

It was probably a lot cheaper to have the plane crash into the side of a mountain the go into the woods that would require way more special effects.

[@fandoria09]

I knew about Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Chrystal Gayle, Tammy Wynett, etc. was through my mom. My nice name "Tammy" is from Tammy Wynett, my mom's favorite country singer. When my mom heard of Patsy's death she was 17 years old. She was devastated. She had every album Patsy had made. Still had them upon her dying day in 2016.

I swear Jessica Lange should have won an Oscar award for this! She was really good, and I also loved Beverly De Angelo as Patsy in Coal Miners Daughter and Beverly sang the songs herself because she is also a professional singer. I loved both women and I thought Beverly deserved a award for best supporting actress in Coal miners daughter since the other movie was about Loretta Lynn’s life. Sissy Spacek played Loretta. I love the actress that played her mother in this movie, “Crazy” because she nailed it and definitely should have also been nominated for an Oscar and won for her role. She was so sweet and you really believed they were mother and daughter who loved each other so very much. Ed Harris did a wonderful job as well, and all these people in the movie should have been winning awards for their excellent performance.

The plane which Patsy Cline crashed in, a three year old Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, Serial Number 24-2144 was equipped with a Lycoming O-540-A1D5 250 hp (190 kW) normally aspirated engine, turning a constant-speed propeller. The Comanche's maximum takeoff weight was 2,800 lb (1,300 kg) with a total fuel load of 60 US gallons (230 L), giving a range of 600 nautical miles at 75% power including a 45-minute reserve. The aircraft had passed its last FAA inspection on 19 April 1962. Around 6:07 pm, Randy Hughes, Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas, and Hawkshaw Hawkins took to the sky. But then, shortly after takeoff, Hughes became lost in the clouds. Flying blind, he entered a spiral and accelerated straight downward in a nose-dive into the ground at 6:20 P.M. on March 5, 1963. Inspection of the wreckage disclosed that the aircraft was intact and the engine was developing substantial power at initial impact with trees. There was no evidence of pre-impact failure or malfunction. Post-mortem examination of the pilot Randy Hughes disclosed nothing that could have been a factor in the accident.

[@jaymalamute5730]

Spatial disorientation?

[@sjb3460]

@@jaymalamute5730 I'm not a pilot but put yourself on a merry-go-round, be blindfolded, and then be spun around about 20 times, then get off and walk in a straight line. You can't do it, because the fluid in your inner ear is being sloshed around. You will walk in the opposite direction of the spin but not in a straight line. Your eyes look at the dashboard of the airplane for a level reference point (no matter the attitude in relation to the ground because you can't see the ground)so you tilt your head in the direction your inner ear tries to maintain that illusion of "level flight". When you can't see the horizon (cloud cover, rain, snow, fog) your mind thinks the dashboard is the ground. It takes months of intense training to fly instruments and ignore the dizziness imparted by flying and pay attention to your artificial horizon, your altimeter, true AGL (your true altitude minus the mountain height (6000ft /above Ground Level when you are over 7000 ft tall mountain - you crashed into the mountain) vs barometric altitude, your indicated airspeed vs true airspeed, engine rpms, your compass heading, engine and oil temperature, etc. Pilots call it the death spiral. Lots of fathers kill their families because of spatial disorientation. JFK, Jr., killed his wife and sister-in-law because he got disoriented by flying over water at dusk. Over the water, it is pure black, there are no lights, no highways, no streetlights, and no shopping centers, so the visual reference that you have during daylight hours is gone. Lots of pilots, military and civilians kill lots of people every year because they HAVE TO BE THERE FOR THE WEDDING, THE GENERAL'S VISIT, THE GIRLFRIENDS FAMILY, DON'T WANT TO STAY OVERNIGHT, the avgas is too expensive here, ETC. ECT.... Flying is no joke You will probably have to get a better explanation than I have given you

[@BackwoodsFilms]

One of the accounts I read indicated that the plane was tilted slightly to the right as it slowly descended, so even though the passengers couldn't see in the clouds, they felt as though they were flying straight and level, until it was too late and they crashed into the trees.

[@megadavis5377]

Yes, I have to agree with you, Jerry. This scenario bears some resemblance to the Lombard incident in the Las Vegas area. Cline's airplane simply entered into a graveyard spiral due to pilot's spatial disorientation with no pre-incident mechanical problems; the pilot just lost control of a perfectly-good airplane in the clouds - which he had no business being in in the first place. He was not rated nor trained for flight in clouds - as were many of the pilots in this video.

The plane landed at the airport in Nashville. This was because they were dropping Charlie off, and picking up Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas for a benefit concert in Missouri for a radio DJ who was killed in a car accident recently. According to Charlie, he was dropped off and told her goodbye before she, Randy Hughes, Hawkshaw, and Copas took off to that concert.

One can only wonder why they changed the modalities of the crash? It happened against a tree if I remember correctly.

[@AnthSchaef73]

Yes it was in a wooded area.

[@gizmocrue73dw]

The crash occurred at night also.. this shows daytime

[@josephhernandez1885]

@@gizmocrue73dw to add to it the reason why the plane crashed was because of a pilot disorientation from the bad weather

[@michaelwhitehead7802]

Anthony Schaeffer exactly..Hollywood BS.

[@nequito718]

They couldn’t very well film how the plane crash actually happened. In reality it was pretty gruesome with bodies torn apart and parts found all over the place.

[@frackstonwilson685]

It would have been easier to film it like it happened by showing what was going on by filming through a planes windshield to show no visibility, cutting to reaction of Hughes after plane entered that situation. cutting back to looking through planes windshield and showing impact of tree top with planes propeller instantly shredding through it, then a bright white flash and sudden darkness which would depict fatal impact and death. Then cut to funeral sequence without ever showing anything gruesome.

[@frackstonwilson685]

It might have been interesting though to show a little of the aftermath of the plane crash. It could have been done without showing dismembered bodies. Have the first law officer to arrive on the scene shown saying something like oh my god their bodies are torn to pieces. Then show some of the planes wreckage. Then show sight seers at the crash site with a few short scenes of some them picking up pieces of wreckage for souvenirs. Then finish with a short scene of several guys getting the planes engine out of the impact crater and packing it off.

That's so sad.

She must've been terrified when it dawned on her was was happening and what was going to happen...I read where controllers at the airport were listening to what was being said in the airplane at the time and patsy was screaming my God randy we're upside down randy my God no...then nothing...one can only hope that she and her traveling companions didn't suffer ...that they were taken immediately...may they rest in peace...58 yrs gone...

[@frackstonwilson685]

@@ernestinemaloy8680 Its very possible that all on board knew they were in serious trouble when Randy Hughes lost visual reference with the ground and developed spatial disorientation which likely happened a few miles before the crash.

[@debbieanna75]

I live next to the airport in Dyersburg, Tennessee. That was where Patsy made that phone call.

[@davidonufrak4825]

One thing to know from now on, never ride small planes. They can be deadly.

[@mystic48209]

Not an accurate crash. Hollywood had to relatively sugar coat the crash by making it a fireball so you only focus on the entertainer and not the crash. The actual crash would have forced an X rating for gore at the end..maybe an R rating.. The actual death scene would make you hurl.The pilot was visual rated not instrument rated. The bad weather and low visibility caused pilot error. Pilot gets disoriented and goes into a graveyard spiral. To recreate the gruesome scene you needed a special effects and make up artist like Tom Savini. Here is what is known: propeller hits a tree. Wing hits another tree causing plane to crash nose first. Autopsy reports list bodies disposition as crushed. Ie slammed into or having tree fall on body. I assume shrapnel does the rest. Any eye witness who came upon the scene, named Pfifer, actually described Patsy Cline's remains in very grim gruesome detail. Yiu can fond the video on KZbin. A lady interviewer I think in the 1990s gave Mr. PFIFER the opportunity to share very accurate details. He owned a shop of memorabilia . If you can stomache it listen to it.

[@MrDarkmarius]

I was laughing with them towards the end, hoping everything would be ok, but then BOOM right into the side of a mountain. So sad

[@fandoria09]

They didn't crash into any mountains. They crashed in a wooded area. The movie has too many things incorrect because the producer couldn't get his research and facts correct when he knew the "real" cause even producing "Coalminers Daughter" not long before the movie of Patsy Cline's life was done.

[@melissagahn]

I hate that Patsy's death scene (in the movie) was so dramatized, violent, and wrong. Her husband/widower didn't care for this movie at all. He said it was "50 percent true, it's a good movie if you like fiction". Kind of makes me sad, why the manner of Patsy's death portrayed in the movie was all wrong. It kind of ruins it for me. I liked the movie, but knowing how her husband felt about it, I'm not so sure anymore. Anything to make a buck, I guess.

[@badmonkey2222]

The crash DID NOT happen that way the the pilot first of all was not instrument rated, was having engine problems lost altitude and spacial disorientation then engine cut completely never got it restarted, clipped a tree which ripped the engine from the plane and the fuselage nose dived into the forest all being killed instantly, the farmer who owned the land was first on the scene and came across Patsy first, finding her foot and leg in the v of a tree which he knew it was female by the nail polish, and her torso nearby on the ground up against another tree, RIP Patsy your music will live forever.💙🎶

[@badmonkey2222]

Yeah, the engine was plugged into the ground about 3 ft, said it took 2days to dig it out and remove it from the scene, and yes all the bodies were completely torn apart pieces of flesh everywhere, her foot being wedged in the fork of a tree and said just her torso and part of her head with hair was found intact wedged up against a log, plane crashes are not pretty, extremely violent events that our bodies are no match for, RIP to all who were on board.

Director after take cut: “Make the explosion bigger.”

[@mickeywhitlock162]

I read a first hand account from the deputy sheriff who arrived at the crash scene. That is not how the plane crashed at all.

No happy ending there I see ...

[@jennross6466]

That did not happen at all. Plus we don't know what happened, what conversations happened inside the plane so I hate when Hollywood tries to improvise.

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

Well, they do that for the sake of a more dramatic impact.

[@rogerwhite95]

What am I misunderstanding? How do we know what the conversation was inside the plane, wasn't everyone on board killed instantly?

This is a Hollywood ending this is not how the crash happened they crashed in the forest in a bunch of trees not into a solid rock wall like they depict in the movie.
