I wasn’t gonna post this as parts of it come across like from a gossip magazine and not History101 but since folks are talking about the circumstances of the crash here’s a thorough account.
Like Buddy Holly et al., Jim Croce, Randy Rhodes, Stevie Ray Vaughan and I suppose Kobe Bryant, all preventable had the usual practices and precautions been in effect.
I this case the account has it the plane in question was known to be liable to serious mechanical problems.
