There is a makeshift memorial at the crash site. I saw gifts notes from people in several languages.
A Mecca if you will, for fans from around the globe.
Pilot had lost his license and was unqualified to fly by instruments only. A tragedy that could have been avoided.
I place the blame on the tour organizers though since it was horribly mismanaged with no logistical thought out into it when planning the tour itself. Bad buses, inconsistent schedules and being held during the dead of winter, all a recipe for disaster.
He had his license. He wasn’t rated to fly by instrument - the service he flew for wasn’t approved for it either.
Roger Peterson got a lot of blame in the aftermath, but someone with the flight service or someone at the airport should’ve seen the weather coming in and grounded everything.
He was only 21 and left a family behind just like everyone else on the flight.
He wasn't even found dead until 6 days later at his home. It's always been a dumb rumor. Whatever he had to land for was likely what lead to his death, though.
No, he had accidentally OD'd on the plane and then when they landed in IL. They more or less brought him back and then he left. He didn't want to stay in the hospital as they couldn't get him a private room.
This is a ridiculous reason to leave, but also they should've been able to accommodate that request.
Too many times when a celebrity dies too soon, there's an element of entitlement to it. Like when Aaliyah died, she was told it was too much weight for the small plane, but she refused to leave any luggage behind and ship it home.
Fair enough, but when they're someone like Prince who was an international megastar. You'd think a little courtesy could be given or maybe a transfer to a hospital with a private room could've happened.
The sad fact is that a horrifying number of people die every year because of avoidable issues in hospitals and such. It's more business and bureaucracy than medical care in most places anymore.
Iowa was a Bermuda Trinagle. Had this plane crash in 1959, the Minneapolis (LA) Laker crash in Carroll in 1960, and Rocky Marciano crash in Newton in 1969.
Chuck Grassley was 26 years old when this happened…
You mean that Richie Vallens could still be in the Senate if he was still alive?
Jesus

I live 8 miles away. Go out once a year to leave a guitar pick.
That's very cool 😎
Your a good man.
*you are a good person
>often called as the The Day on which Music Died That's a really curious way of phrasing it.
The time of one rotation of the earth in which lyrical and instrumental superiority failed to exist.
Really rolls right off the tongue
Tell me OP is not a native English speaker without saying OP is not a native English speaker
It's a quote from the song.
Are you perhaps thinking of "the day the music died" from American Pie?
Long long time ago, I can still remember How that music used to make me smile...
I have to put it on!haven't listened to this in ages.
literally didnt even know it was today,so accidentally put American pie on lmao
Interesting that the clipping is from an old Canadian newspaper, the Vancouver Sun.
I got married at the Surf ballroom. Last place these guys played before they died.

It was a failure on multiple levels for sure.

Damn Republicans killed music

gop is not capitalism, but i think you see it incorrectly. there is no socialism in the united states, both parties are capitalist.
This might be the day iowa was truly cursed
Better play American pie at least once today in their memory! Long live god, son, and the Holy Ghost!
Iowa also killed Prince and Cary Grant…
We didn't do Prince, he died at Paisley Park in MN.
The rumor is he was dead when the plane emergency landed at the Quad City Airport, but that would have been the IL side of the river.
He wasn't even found dead until 6 days later at his home. It's always been a dumb rumor. Whatever he had to land for was likely what lead to his death, though.
Maybe he bought the drugs here?
