- Who's all on this list of rock stars and bands that died in plane crashes? Aviation accidents have been the cause of many famous fatalities. In the music profession, especially, many young lives have been lost to accidents in the air. Over the decades several bands have died in airplane accidents as the world mourned.
#MusicTragedies #RockDoc #WeirdHistory
Could you imagine being the sole survivor on Otis Redding’s plane? He said that he could hear their screams as they were engulfed by the lake.
😢😢😢😢😢
I believe it, do you have a link?
@@BrotherApexx I was so shocked to see how intact Otis's body was. He didn't even look dead, just injured.
@@monilaninetynine3811 I know. It was eerie and sad to see.
So many them did survive the original impact🤔
Hey... you missed Glenn Miller! December 15, 1944 his airplane vanished somewhere over the English Channel on it's way to France. He had volunteered to join the Army in 1944 to entertain the troops and bring a piece of home to them while they were overseas... the troops had come to love his music. He was given the rank of Captain and had actually changed the cadence music form standard military marching band to his more up-lifting Big Band style! He was awarded the Bronze Star after his death. He wrote classics such as Pennsylvania 6 5000, Moonlight Serenade, and In The Mood, as well as MANY others!
Can't see how you missed him!
You did him justice
I think the huge waves killed the whole band on a ship as well as a moody climate full of cyclones.
i was hoping someone would mention glenn miller. heartbreaking what happened to so many musicians that were loved by millions. may their legacies forever live on.
He was shot down
Read an account that returning bombers were ejecting bombs over English channel. His planes was seen below close to the ocean dodging huge waterspouts as the block busters went off.
I saw Randy's last concert with Ozzy the night before Randy died. I still have my ticket stub.
Must have been awesome. R.I.P Randy
I saw the band just weeks before in Detroit...
Seen Ozzy and Randy weeks before this tragedy.
How old were you then and how old are you now?
@@NickDoesArts 23 then. 62 now.
Aaliyahs death still hurts my soul. I just realized that a lot of the celebrities either predicted their own deaths or died when one of their songs became top hits.
Yeah she had an eery interview (I think with MTV) right before she died and talked about a dream where she was free :(
I remember the day u found out like it was yesterday. I was 14 and my cousin told me about it. I didn’t believe him. Such a sad day ☹️
I remember that day. My friend and I were driving around, and decided we wanted Dunkin donuts and it came on the radio that she had died. I started crying. I adored her! Learned almost all her dances. I've never cried about a celebrity dying before. Still haven't! Hers was just different for me. Idk how to explain it.
@@erykahm4307 so sad..so young..:(
I remember it so well too because it happened a couple weeks before 9/11 that year
I'd read that Aerosmith were due to hire the plane just before Skynnard did,but turned it down as it looked to poorly maintained.
Now I'm thinking that in an alternate dimension somewhere...well, you know.
*too
Yes, they turned down the pilot because he was a partier and an inexperienced pilot
That is correct. They also had reservations about the pilots who shared a half pint at some point.
@@danielfronc4304 just seen it lol.
R.I.P Jim Croce. What a discography he has for such a short career. What could’ve been
Love his music. 💕💕💕
Had a great guitar player with, also.
@Lance Wells wasnt his friends cat, it was a cat that was causing Muelheisen some stress..but still a dick move..
Croce was unfaithful to Ingrid and had a temper mainly due to his contract situation but seemed like a decent guy other than that but I can also see how he could come across as a douche...great songwriter no matter what
I had never heard of the letter.
@@carpediem6568 e48 TD she oz
John Denver’s plane crash was so preventable. So sad that someone that is so gifted in one area of their brain can be so careless in others.
True!
Amen Brad
An experimental plane? Why? Man wasn't naturally meant to fly. Wait until it's certified and safe.
@@seanswinton6242 the plane was certified. The valve switch for the fuel tanks had been ordered. He was over-confident that he could safely switch tanks by using a mirror and a set of vise grips on the existing switch.
It wasn't mentioned in the video, and I haven't seen in the comments, but eight members of Reba McEntire's band died when their plane crashed into a mountain shortly after takeoff in San Diego on March 16, 1991. Maybe none of them was a "headliner", but they should definitely be counted.
Well yea of course not they had to..... Make it like this or THEY would start that crying whining bullshit THEY always do about anything!!!
I remember when Reba's band was killed. TERRIBLE. Yes, they deserve a mention.
@@djholliday4413 - Didn't she perform on the AMA's or something just days after that? Am i remembering correctly?
I remember that.
Hey at least she wasn't on that ill flated flight ✈️ or she would've been another Patsy Cline
The thing I noticed that most of these have in common is that they happened as a result of hubris and/or carelessness via not following standard safety protocols (experimental aircraft, exceeding weight limits, unqualified persons flying the aircraft, etc). So sad. As mentioned, most could have been easily prevented.
No common sense in any of these tragedies.
@YoYO Semite
John Denver's dad was a big shot in the Air Force that set multiple speed records in aircraft, Denvers real name was Henry John Deutchendorf jr, his dad being the same name but senior of course is in the Air Force hall of fame for the records he set.
@YoYO Semite Like he's the only celeb to use a stage name.
EXACTLY!!!
The Challenger disaster too
If I ever become rich and famous I am walking every place I go.
I can't help but mention John Lennon
@@uploadvidz4490 True, I will walk and wear a bullet proof vest and have body guards.
As long as you aren't a musician though you should be fine
Your Comment made my day.
@@carolynedwards2689 I am glad to know that : )
You missed Jim Reeves. He was piloting a small aircraft with just him and his manager on board. There were thunderstorms in the area and Jim was not certified to fly on instruments alone. The control tower directed him to arrive at the airport by a way he was unfamiliar with because of the storm. Instead Jim decided to take his usual route and he flew right into the worst part of the storm. It is believed that Jim suffered from spatial disorientation because he couldn’t see the ground and as a result, he thought he had the plane climbing when in fact it was headed straight into the ground at 200 mph in a wooded area near Nashville. It took them a couple of days to find the crash site. Both men died instantly upon impact. This was right around July 31,1964, give or take a couple of days. I believe he was 40.
Yes so sad. I love his music and wish I was born during the time he was alive. I would have tried to see him in person.
Nevin Reid - I never do. Sometimes I wish I could. Not forget about him, but forget about the plane crash that killed him. He’s my favorite singer of all time. He died before I was born. I’ve been listening to his music since I was a toddler.
my fav singer
Rest in peace John Denver, you'll never be forgotten. Great singer and songwriter. You really did leave on a jet plane.
Pilots call it "Get-there-itis".
The determination of reaching the destination despite the warnings.
That killed Kobe Bryant too.
I had a bad case of that that ended up with me in a bad car crash on the freeway in a blizzard. It really changed my perspective on just how fast I needed to “get there”
@Chris pride would be saying "I'm too great to get in an accident" what OP is talking about is more of "I rushed to get there and missed a safety step and got bit"
Kobe Bryant was not a musician... read the title of the video....
@@jeffreyhall2136 yes but the push to "get there" even though everything else was saying don't go is what caused it.
Jeffrey Hall
This comment isn’t about musicians… read the comment…
Even though these musicians are gone we still have their music to hear
Very true.😑🎵💙
Even though obvious we still have obvious 😆

What the hoof are you talking about? 🐸🐙🐌 stop talking, bro.
I was fortunate to see Randy Rhoads on March 8, 1982 in Houston, TX. He was way ahead of the metal guitarist at the time. Incredible show. I was devastated and I still have the Houston Chronicle article. RIP Randy, you are missed Brother.
March 19th 1982. Worse day ever.😢
Mmmmmmmmmmm
No he wasn't..what he did wasn't new to anyone
@@BlueberryStinkFinger62Dude, there was no instant communication at the time. Sure it wasn't exactly new, but it was. Only 4 other top bands at the time had comparable riffs.
Aaliyah wasn't making the calls for that flight. She was terrified of small planes. I can't imagine she would be ok with overloading a tiny one. I think her team may have failed her.
The pilots should have known not to fly. Up to them
The failed her yes they did
Pilots fought with them but gave into the drama.
I wish she would have waited
More than that... somebody in her entourage made a deal with the devil. The cost... Aaliyah’s life! FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL!!
Fact: After Pasty Cline Plane crash. People started to come to the site and started to steal stuff from the site before the police arrived
Disgusting 😡
Stop the BS A family member of mine was killed in a story featured in your third link. Flight 5191 in Lexington, Kentucky.
😭
U guys r acting like u wouldn't take something from the crash b4 the cops came
@@rhajadescarlett4576 Wtf? No one would do some despicable ass shit like that.
Ernest Hemingway survived two plane crashes in less than 24 hours
Michael Hegwood then killed himself
And then he died by suicide.
A good musician was Ernest Hemingway? He asked him knowingly.
Probably had survivors guilt
Then they took his licence away.
I loved Jim Croce and what’s even more sad is that he just made it big. His music will always be perfect and will always be remembered. Rest In Peace
I was just playing his CD today. He died way to soon.
I love Jim's music and later this year i will have the fortune of seeing his son AJ give a concert playing his father's music.
Very informative
I was at the Stevie Ray Vaughn show. Their encore was "Sweet Home Chicago". It took so long to get out of the parking lot afterwards, partially due to the fog. The fog was so close to the ground, you couldn't see more than one car ahead of you, and the staff had to stand with flashlights and other handheld lights to help people out of the lot. I got a call super early the next day from my friend telling me Stevie had been killed, but they had crashed far enough away that none of us had seen or heard anything. I'm sure they died while thousands of people were still leaving.
Stevie was supposed to take a bus back to Chicago but his brother Jimmy Vaughan gave him his seat in the helicopter.
I had a co-worker who also was at the show at Alpine Valley, she didn't know about it until she was told the next day when she came to work. I remember seeing the footage of the hearse on the news out of Milwaukee.
Stan Rogers should be added to the list. He was a Canadian folk musician who died on a commercial flight when after he escaped from the wreckage went back in to rescue other passengers.
Worst part of the “day the music died” was the last conversation Buddy and Waylon.
Buddy told Waylon “I hope you freeze your ass off on the bus.”
Waylon “ Yeah I hope your plane crashes.”
For the rest of his life, Waylon blamed himself for causing the crash that took his friends life.
Now they can finally talk it over.
and waylon said''i hope your plane crashes!'' look that up! scary shit!
BoyNamedSue4 - Of course everyone knows that Waylon was joking and common sense tells us that his comment had nothing to do with the plane crashing, but I can certainly understand why Waylon felt that way. Survivor’s guilt. Waylon was originally supposed to be on that plane, but he gave up his seat to The Big Bopper. That was survivor’s guilt #1. Survivor’s guilt # 2 was the last words spoken between Buddy and Waylon. Buddy said “I hope your ass freezes on the bus.” And Waylon said “Well, I hope your ol’ plane crashes.”
It was such a tragedy. Now I think I’ll listen to American Pie about The Day the Music Died.
or ritchie who was scared of flying was really nervous: and Buddy saying that the sky belongs to the starts. That was creepy
Wow that would suck
That Jim Croce story, particularly that quote, gets me every time.
Jim Reeves and Graeme "Shirley" Strachan were other musicians who died in a plane and helicopter crash.
Jim Reeves and the pilots of Patsy Clines and Buddy Holly's plane were all taught by the same person.
Well Carole Lombard died also in a plane crash. She was doing her part for the war effort. All of it sad.
Yes she was leaving my home city Indianapolis. Her mother wanted them to take the train but Carole wanted to get back to Clarke Gable that night. And they both died,
Timothy Douglas - Yeah, Carole Lombard and her mom and everyone else who was on the plane. It was a commercial plane - TWA, which went out of business in the ‘80’s, maybe? It wasn’t a private plane. It crashed right splat into the side of a mountain. Huge fireball. Everyone died on impact. Carole’s remains were so burnt up that they had to identify her by some jewelry she was wearing that Clark Gable had given her. The terrain was so rugged they could only drive part way up. They had to hike and use donkeys to bring the bodies down. Recovery took 2 days. Clark Gable waited in a bar in a tiny town kind of close to the crash site. He sat at the bar drinking and smoking cigars. There are still cigar burns on the bar from when he fell asleep while smoking. The wreckage is still there. Because of the rugged terrain, they couldn’t pick it all up. I’m sure it has been looted many times. Probably all that’s left are pieces too big and heavy to be carried off by people or donkeys. But there is still quite a lot there.
@@cmm2145 It's said that the spot where the plane went down is now haunted and that there's still plane parts still on the mountain check with Ghost Adventures 👻
@@garycarpenter2980 - There are definitely still plane parts there. By now the ones that are left are probably too big and heavy to move.
There are videos of people climbing around up there and maybe bringing smaller pieces of the plane with them. Search “Carole Lombard plane crash site”.
I’m not surprised that the crash site is haunted. This is a perfect recipe for a haunting. One second everything is fine. The next they crash into the side of a mountain making a huge fireball that could be seen for miles. Everyone instantly dies on impact with no forewarning. Sudden unexpected loss of life can cause hauntings.
It’s very tragic. Carole was the love of Clark Gable’s life and in an instant she was gone. He married again, twice I think. His last wife who was married to him when he died was very respectful of Carole’s memory. Clark’s wish was to be buried next to Carole and that’s what his wife had done.
Thank you for the update
Aaliyah's death was so preventable. We lost R&B's princess that was so ahead of her time. It's so unfortunate what happened to all of them. Today we celebrate the 19th anniversary of her self-titled album "Aaliyah" (2001). There are a few facts missing from the video about the accident but its all good.
All these deaths were hard watch, but Aaliyah was a tough one for me. Knowing her life started out too fast for such a young person. Her dreams were finally being realized when she was tragically killed.
She was super talented and would've become a big super star even in todays times
@@lotusgrl444 if she was super talented the others in this video must have been musical geniuses, more like musical GOD'S
She didn't like to fly, so she was always under meds (sleeping ones, no doubt) they pretty much carried her on board that fateful day....she had no idea....(check it out)
@@knight9k I read where she wasn’t suppose to leave until the next day. Some guy wanted her to come back on that flight.
The plane crash which ended the life of Jim Croce also ended that of his backup guitarist and singer, Maury Muehleisen, a brilliant musician in his own right.
I've read several detailed reports about the 1959 tragedy that took the lives of Valens, Holly and Richardson. Several have pointed out that the pilot was undertained in instrument flying, and that's likely true. But I've taken note of the fact that the pilot DID know what he was doing, and WAS skilled enough. The directional angle of the crash scene debris field shows that the plane was not going in the direction of the north destination. This means that, as indicated in one of the reports, the pilot was turning away, and back to the airport likely because the snowy storm frontal factor wasn't to be tolerant of flying ANY light/small plane without severe turbulance. That pilot was willing to do this, when many pilots didn't have the confidence nor willingness to fly in those conditions. The pilot did the correct thing, but likely became spacially disoriented (down-for-up) in the more-than-a-light snowfall. Also, they took off after midnight in the darkness. Truly a sad stroy. R.I.P Ricardo "Richie" Valens (Valuenzuela). R.I.P "Buddy" Holly. R.I.P "Big Bopper" J. P. Richardson. Also: R. I.P brave pilot (I've left his name off due to the reports balming him for the cause of this tragedy). A VERY strong underlying cause of the crash was, as Mr. Enrique Gonzalez has noted in his comment here, piots call it "Get-there-itis". Good work, history reporters! Thank you.
Here’s the facts and my opinion on the crash
docs.google.com/document/d/1-QvCgyVtQpnc5QnCMfMiXhcL8Qx2snB80Rt8I59zcfs/edit
The pilot was a kid who was star struck and not a great pilot.
And remember Waylon Jennings was there and was mad because he was in such a hurry to leave and he"drew straws"and he lost but in a way he was spared and he outlived his friends but I wonder if he was haunted by that time
When Buddy Holly was killed there was a tv show host in the Quad Cities named Wes Holly. At first some people thought it was Wes Holly who had died! The people were all surprised when they found out that Wes Holly was not dead.
I love Jim Croce. His music came out before I was born but I remember his music on the radio. My first memory of a song is Operator by Jim Croce and I love it to this day along with many others.💞
Not long after his death, I believe it was The Midnight Special, had a video of Jim and Maury playing that song in front of an audience. Not ashamed to say I cried when I saw that. And Jim’s music has a prominent place on my iPod, as does John Denver.
Loved "Jim Croce" I was 19 back in 1973, when I was driving to drop off my girlfriend. It came on the radio. Man was I shocked!
I understand, I'm past 2000. He's my favorite artist
@@obi-wankenobi8878 he’s mine too🥰. It’s awesome to hear other that other people still appreciate his music to this day.
I grew up listening to artists like Jim Croce, John Denver and Don McLean thanks in large part to my dad's 8 track collection. (Wonder if the kids today even know what an 8 track is.) That's back when great music was great music. Classic artists from the 70s and 80s have a prominent place on my iPod. Thanks to autotone, kids today don't know what their favorite artists actually sound like or if they actually sound good without the technology making them sound better.
SRV AND OTIS REDDING DEATHS ROBBED US OF INSANE TALENTS.
For me Buddy Holly was the biggest loss and it's still felt 60yrs later. also Ritche Valens who'd only been into the music business 8 months!! Massive loss
All of these examples did
Both died in Wisconsin, ive been to the 'hill' SRV hit. Live near there tho
The conspiracy theorist in me makes me think some of these were less accidental than they're made to seem. Otis probably made a ton of producers a ton of money but producers hate sharing the wealth. The timing couldn't have been more perfect
Mysterious plane crashes have always been ways to get rid of people (see jfk jr. That UN secretary general. Basically the entire executive branch of the polish government)
@@TheBacknblack92 yup its always a conspiracy theory. Your tin foil hat is too tight
I remember when Aaliyah past away.. I was about to go to six flags that day and just turned 13.. I cried on my stairs all that morning.. Sad day
I remember coming home from school abd crying. I was so upset i still stood with my backpack on. I was little.
WOULDN'T have stopped my M'FN 6 flag trip, Ida party down all the way to Thu ground and do it with no frown. Ida partied down to tha ground and got down like James Brown, up town, with no frown getting me down. PRAYS...BE.. THU.. LORD WWWWWWOOOOOOHHHHOOOO
Such loss.

Just a little note: its not the coroner that determines causes of aviation accidents, its the NTSB and other authoroties similar to that in other countries. Aviation accidents are complex and is why the NTSB and not «the coroner» does this
@
Ramy Gjerde: Some of those accidents occurred before the NTSB was created and the cause of death may have been determined by the coroner.
@@jefflewis4 good point!!
Damn I forgot Buddy Holly was only 22.
They all had so much more music in them but would've been awesome to have more Buddy an Ritchie music.
And Ritchie was only 17. 😭
Buddy Holly was actually the same as Christina Grimmie when she died. 22.
@@seaotter4439 damn, sad all around. I gotta jam to some Grimmie. Been awhile😔
I grew up in a small town near the Quad Cities of Illinois and Iowa. The tv station in Davenport had a musician named Wes Holly who was the host of a cartoon show. When the news came out about Buddy Holly dying, many people were asking if it was Wes Holly who had died. Everyone was surprised when it was announced that it was Buddy Holly who died. (Wes Holly was not related to Buddy Holly)
Sounds like the “beach craft” airplanes are cursed for musicians. Rest In Peace to all these talented souls that left our earthly realm to soon. Like a flower picked before it’s had the chance to bloom.
OVERLOADED Beechcraft planes, yes;
Carlos Gardel was a known tango singer in the world by the time he died in a plane crash. He was also a pioneer of actors who dabbled in Hollywood acting in the early 20s.
Randy rhodes is still the saddest one, still haunts ozzy to this day. Not fair he was too young.
Very sad but I wouldn’t have been in that plane with them
@@P0P357UR3 yeah that pillt what a POS
Rhoads*
It's not sad...it was stupid.
Rhoads not Rhodes
The moral of this story is that, if you are a musician, travel by van, bus, car, train or ship, but never by plane.
Sadly Jim Reeves also died in a plane crash.
Lesson: Don't fly in small planes.
That's one reason my lady love left me: we both wanted to travel the world but I said we should take charter flights where the pilot knows the plane inside and out, she wanted to fly commercial. I still don't know who was right.
Ryan C Big places crash too. Reba McEntire lost her entire band and supporting staff when a twin jet went down in the 90s. If she hadn’t taken an earlier flight she would have died as well
Turtleproof commercial sucks you can’t see anything general aviation flys low enough where you can see everything
Nothing is wrong with the planes, as a matter of fact I would say that they are safer, just depends on the pilot
Depends on the pilot... mainly not getting bullied by some spoiled musician allowing the plane to be overloaded or flown in bad weather.
Mexican singer, Jenni Rivera, also died in a plane crash in 2012.
I remember when she died, and watching her reality show
I remember that day wasn’t a fan but my parents and grandparents were, a very grim day

sam cooke and otis redding are the rightful kings of soul
Uuum who??
I guess Glenn Miller will be in the big band leaders video.
But Glen Miller didn't crash. He disappeared.
Either way, he's definitely one of the most influential musicians of all time
@@ladypearl9134 He did crash. They figured out a few years back that his plane flew off course into a no-fly zone where Allied bombers returning to England over the English Channel would release undropped bombs to reduce their landing weight. Miller's plane, which was flying under the flying fortresses, was hit by one and went down. Look it up.
@@OuterGalaxyLounge Didn't know all that. Thank you.
@@OuterGalaxyLounge
No it didn't, that was a theory put forth that was disproven, most likely what killed Miller was a defective carburetor heater on his plane that caused the carburetor to ice up and the engine shut down.
There was a scandal in the USAAF that a General got caught up in where he was taking bribe money from Curtiss Wright to approve the shipment of defective parts so they could meet their wartime quota and not face fines, when it was discovered that some of the carb heaters were defective that had been shipped to the ETO the good ones were sent to front line units for use in bombers that absolutely needed them due to the high altitude missions they were flying, secondary aircraft like the one he was being flown on that had the same Curtiss Wright engine had to operate without them, weather records show that the conditions over the channel that day turned into the kind that were perfect for freezing an aircraft carb.

All of these musicians were amazing, but, I miss Stevie Ray Vaughn the most. I wonder what kind of epic music he would have made if he had lived.
Damn it Stevie Ray Vaughn we miss you. Not your fault though. Texas loves you!!!!
He graduated from the high school I graduated from, but years earlier. I remember a plaque, picture, and guitar in our trophy case. Justin F. Kimball High, Dallas, TX
Hell yes! Stevie is always my #1 jukebox selection. 🇨🇱
Listening to “Pride and Joy” now!! What a guitarist Stevie Ray is!!
There were four helicopters that took off as the crowd left Alpine Valley that night , fog was starting to creep in at ground level , My buddy say's to me "Clapton is going to crash"!!! To which I replied, They fly in & out Thousands of times!!! Next day we found out differently !!!
I know a man named Jim Haney. Was in Patsy Cline's band. He was the guy she gave the weekend off. After a few of these he quit touring an flying..he's almost 100 now.
"A few of these?"
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 maybe close calls?
Is he in good health these days what about his memories of Patsy Cline
Man, Aaliyah's plance crash death is tragic. If her entourage had cared to know WHY they couldn't all board the tiny plane and if the plane wasn't overloaded with cargo, she could be alive today.
I guess being part of the entourage to a famous person changes people just as much as being famous themselves.
The record label and manager didn't help, scheduling a video shoot whilst shooting a movie meant she had to be in multiple places in such a short period of time or face serious financial sanctions from them if she didn't fulfill the commitments.
So nobody blames the pilot being drunk?
Also on cocaine? Hmm
@@Trendsetter5420 wtf is your filter???

Yeah I remember that. What sucked about that crash was that it happened because of a poor repair job done to the rear bulkhead of the plane from a crash several years prior.
@@TORchic1 >inb4 "bUt ThE jApAnEsE aRe SuPpOsSeD tO bE sMaRtEr"
What really sucks is that most plane crashes are caused by lapses in judgement. Even in most deadly crashes with mechanical failure involved, usually the pilots/ATC didn't react correctly. It happens. Humans aren't perfect, but we need em.
That being said, what pisses me off most is when people could have prevented it, but either chose not to, or used the "there's no rule against it" excuse. Preemptive Mandates would fix most human error scenarios, but one of those human errors is a lack of 20/20 foresight.
@@awzthemusicalreviews Not sure that why would you leave such a comment here. The pilots onboard Japan Airlines Flight 123 especially the captain were highly adept. During the accident, all the hydraulics were disabled while the vertical stabiliser was almost entirely gone. During the radio call with Yokoto Air Base, the captain addressed the condition of the aircraft as "uncontroll(able)". The pilots eventually managed to keep the severely damaged aircraft in the sky for 32 minutes before the crush, and would probably made it to achieve the emergency landing if the poor weather didn't kick in at the last minute. The top pilots later tested on the simulator for the same scenario all failed to break the 32-minute record. The Japanese Self-Defense Force assigned for rescue task ought to be blamed through for the fact that more passengers could have survived if they didn't delay the rescue.
@@awzthemusicalreviews Btw, the incorrect repair job later triggered the accident was done by the Boeing engineers instead of Japan Airlines.
Film composer, James Horner, died in a plane crash on June 22, 2015.
LordCutlerBeckett yes, he was brilliant, did Star Trek II... and a small movie called Titanic.
The red army choir died in a plane crash in the last few years too. Regardless of your ideologically opinion their music was beautiful
Joe R M James Cameron made the Titanic...
One of the greatest...
I had no idea he died!
This is so heartbreaking but honestly a person can feel when it’s their time. I honestly feel terrible for all of these people.
Flying back then was so much more unsafe than it is now... it’s amazing we didn’t lose many more people or bands...❤️
RIP randy Rhoads, aaliyah, Steven ray Vaughan, John Denver, Otis Redding, patsy Cline, Jim croce, ronnie van zant, Ricky Nelson, and the day the music die victims gone but not forgotten.
Zant* not zander
also Troy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry
Rhoads*
Vaughan
@@lcjacks8825 I fixed it. 😀👍
Sweet Jesus... What a loss Jim Croce was....
That letter he wrote to his wife and received after his death; heartbreaking.
I attended the Jim Croce show in Mississippi the night before this show in Louisiana. On the way to school the morning after the crash is when the news broke. So did a piece of my heart.
My parents met and went on their first date the day Jim Croce died. They said the news came on the television as they were having drinks after meeting at work. It’s the only way I know of the timeline of the beginning of my parents relationship. As a touring musician myself everyone one of these stories hits close to my heart. I hate flying with everything and will drive if given the choice. Such a powerless feeling being a passenger in a plane. I also refuse to tour in the winter time. There is no reason to put ones self in danger by traveling or illness.
More cocaine on board than luggage.
I would have expected Jim Reeves to be included.....
Thought the same
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Patsy Cline, Aaliyah, and Ronnie Van Zant, all had premonitions of dying. Sometimes you may sidestep fate, but you cannot avoid it.
RVZ said, while boarding that pos plane, "When it's your time..." famous last words.
Theres a cheezy 2020 movie. Please ignore the very inadequate drummers in the film.
Travis Barker said his daughter had a nightmare about his plane crashing the night before it did. But he was lucky and survived
Remember Fate is a lonely hunter and I had a friend that was like a brother to me and he had predicted his own death and he was on a job not in a plane
Jenni Rivera death, also sadly a plane crash is still so sad.
Still listen to her music till today.
Right i was checking the comments to see if anyone would notice that her death was not covered in this video either 😢
Yeah
😥😥😥
My mom is a big fan of her
Rule #1. Never take a goddamn Beechcraft lol
True!!
The 'doctor killer '
No, rule #1 is never fly an aircraft that you're not completely familiar with, licensed for, and are IFR rated. Rule #2 is if you're going to fly in a private plane, fly only with a skilled, properly trained and licensed pilot, in a plane that's certified safe by a mechanic, and NEVER try to second-guess you pilot's decisions regarding safety!
I'm a pilot and these things would have save many lives!
@@jleonjackson6674 Well said!
@@8-bitsteve500 Thank you!!
Rhoads played on just a couple of Ozzy albums and still to this day has a lasting influence on rock and metal bands worldwide. A little marvel can go a long way. The Crazy Train solo is still one of the greatest in music.
Melanie Thornton, age 34 from the group La Bouche, died on November 24, 2001 in a plane crash. She was getting ready to promote her upcoming album titled "Ready to Fly."
One of the strangest things I read was that John Denver was a space fanatic and had passed all testing to fly on a space shuttle mission. One of the missions that would end in total tragedy..
I used to live in Monterey and the area near where John Denver died has two memorials. One, a city dedicated plaque, and two, a carved log by visitors. It’s really beautiful and humbling.
Pacific Grove is such a peaceful, beautiful area... My grandpa worked at Borg’s Motel...and he and my grandma lived in the Olympia West apartments...
Thirty years ago today (March 16, 1991), seven of Reba's band members, along with her tour manager, were tragically killed in a plane crash near San Diego, Calif. It smashed into a mountain and it was said to be foggy. The aircraft was en route from a private concert that Reba had played just a few hours earlier.
Rest easy, my dear Skynyrd friends. Yes i still remember you and the others, just as though it was yesterday. In my heart ❤ forever.
And also rest easy, the awesome and much loved musicians of this video who made life just a little bit sweeter with their music! Thank you.
Been a Randy Rhoads fan for many many years and can never completely absorb his unnecessary death. It's like the pilot was suicidal and decided to take the greatest guitar player EVER along with him. Never stop shaking my head about that one
That was the most senseless of them all.
The pilot was suicidal
He was all done up on coke, and saw his ex wife by the bus. He tried to buzz the bus, hit it instead.
You know he is burning in Hell where he belongs, because not only did Randy die, but Sharon's best friend, and pretty much mother to the band, Rachel Youngblood, died too.
He was inexperienced to fly that plane. It was said that he most likely got confused in the snowstorm and flew the plane right into the ground instead by misreading the instruments he wasnt used to.
@@drmusic3641 replied to the wrong comment? They are talking about Randy Rhoads
One minor pronunciation correction... Lake Monona is pronounced like "Mo-No-Nah". Otherwise, I'm glad you included this incident which happened in my current city of residence, Madison, WI. There's a memorial to Otis Redding on the roof of the Monona Terrace overlooking the location where the plane crashed.
I'm glad you included Jim Croce, so many of these types of video's forgets he even exists.
I've taken note of the causes of airplane crashes. A very high percentage of the pilots who died flying themselves (many were alone) in their private planes, did have a too strong of a desire to get to where they WANTED to go FAST and right now. Kobe Briant's decision to helicopter travel was due to the relatively high volumne of car/vehicle traffic in L. A. (As Mr. Gonzales has written here, that pilots call this "Get-there-itis"). That helicopter pilot was VERY skilled (a copter instructor). Any pilot could have made the same mistake that he did. The Sikorsky copter was modern and a good one, the problem was that it was not equipted with a ground-proxmity warning sensor. I've taken note of, and repeat the comments of other people, in various of the air crashe reports: Avoid flying on small planes. Large airliners ARE NOT capable of doing much emergency action(s) below 500 ft. of altitude, such that if they have a problem, it's trouble bigtime. Avoid flying anywhere in winter conditions. Night flying, even in good weather, IS risky. When anyone flies, they are putting their lives into the hands of other people, mostly skilled pilots. But these skilled pilots aren't superstars. Fying IS risky. One of my uncles and various people, such as John Madden just won't fly AT ALL. Best to flap your arms occasionally, and feel like a bird. At least you'll be alive. Auto, busses and passenger trains work just fine.
Flying can be risky if you know what you are doing
I read that one of Randy Rhoads' arms was severed in the crash. Had he lived, it would have been a fate worse than death.
www.ozzyhead.com/articles.htm if you want to read the autopsy report it's there, he lost his right hand & was severely burned/mutilated, unrecognizable aside from his initialed jewelry
Better than having chunks of your brain literally crushed out of cracks in your skull. The Day the Music Died was heartbreaking as well
@@nuttybangerz so true
And this is why I'll never get on a small ass plane.
Me too agree 100%
Especially the thirty plus year old ones! Sad😢
That stance is backwards; small plane crashes are orders of magnitude more survivable than those of commercial jets.
The problem is not in the planes themselves, it's the lack of control surrounding the flights. Vigilance could have saved almost everyone in this video.
When it is writ, it is writ! I know of a private pilot who was having nightmares the night before he was to fly out for a long trip. He got to the airport and got into his plane, but decided to trust his instincts. He turned and walked back to the hanger, got in his car and was hit from behind by a semi on the highway. Killed instantly. I've been flying private since1988 and never had a mishap. I retired my license last year due to health reasons.
@Lance Wells
"ass plane?"......plane that is used by prostitutes n porn actresses.
My mom was a secretary in Flight Standards for the FAA in Washington, D. C. She was the one who typed up the plane crash report when Jim Croce died in the crash.
You missed Graeme"Shirley"Strachan.He was an Australian singer with the band Skyhooks. He died aged 49 in a helicopter accident
Heartbreaking 💔
Rhoads was incredible.
Rest in peace members of Lynyrd Skynyrd
I still believe at least in my opinion that this was the biggest tragedy in rock music history
Maybe Lemme
Amazing video, and pretty crazy that the 1st musician you showed was Randy Rhoads,I just uploaded a pencil portrait of him on my channel.RIP all the wonderful musicians who have passed
Strangely enough the helicopter sounds exactly like Kobes. Whew
I still feel that shock from hearing Aaliyah passed. She left too soon.
I can clearly remember waking up and getting ready for school. I used to have my alarm clock set so it would blast the radio and that was the 1st thing I heard as I was waking up. That Aaliyah was dead. Her loss is still felt almost 20 years later
They left out that the pilot forged his credentials and had cocaine in his system..this one above all others could have been avoided
She was a nobody compared to the others!
@@mikemaggio4979 Aaliyah was the princess of R&B wdym
She really was one in a million :(
Sometimes, that Freebird goes down.
I always see you...
@@squirrels24seven -Me too I just figure we have good taste in videos.
Didn't Jim Reeves also pass away in a plane crash?
I still miss that classic Lynryd Skynryd lineup.
One of the best live shows ever. And I’ve seen dozens over the years.
"Remember me... don't you forget about me...." -Otis Redding
Watched this just to make sure they talked about Jim Croce. Happy to see they did but he died at 30, not 35.
My grandmother worked with Jim Croce's brother at Sears
All those are so sad. That is some wonderful talent collectively. May they RIP.
❤️💜💚
Carlos Gardel, age 44, on June 24, 1935. Predating EVERYONE on the list.
Note to self don't get on airplanes with music legends✔✔✔
Well if I died I wouldn't even care.
@@morisco56 Yes in the end we all have to die but trust me there are certain ways you don't want to die.
@@grapeshot you're not entirely in control of how you die...
@@Rohgamu most of the time but sometimes you are.
Australia has a beloved musician who died in a plane. Shirley Straughn, lead singer of the Skyhooks (1970's) and tv personality. He too, had a pilots licence, and one fateful day, he went up, by himself and never came home😔. I still miss Shirl, to this day.
💔
You missed Jenny Rivera, she died more recently than the ones on the list (side note, Ritchie's death reminds me of Cliff Burton's death. Two young musicians who died before their prime. Both won their seats, Valens with a coin toss, Buton with a draw of cards. Winter conditions caused the airplane to crash/bus to slip killing both. Both Californian rock musicans (metal came from rock& rock came from rock n roll)
Jim Croce was actually 30 when he died.

@@MD-DLive "The Streak" was Ray Stevens, not Jim Croce.
@@EdmHistorEE Thank you for the correction!
Sad.. May we not die like this. Amen
Thank you for remembering Randy! Rock in peace!
i saw a ‘behind the music’ episode on jim croce and apparently when ingrid was told about the accident she said, “and jim’s dead, isn’t he?” absolutely heartbreaking.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was the saddest to me.
Same here. I can only imagine what would have been. Street Survivors was an incredible album. I’m no fan of Johnnie VanZandt.
@@johngullo9420 What do you think of the Flame Cover?
Same. I think it's the biggest tragedy in music history.
Skynyrd has the distinction of most surviving.
@@zero1fifty8 no.... Aaliyah was. U have to remember its only the biggest yo you as you loved them.
I always enjoy hearing people try to pronounce place names in Wisconsin
OMG I KNOW. He pronounced Monona like manana
You totally forgot Carlos Gardel, the most important tango singer in all history, he died the 24 of June of 1935
Damn Valens was only 17. He accomplished so much by 17.
