35 CELEBRITIES THAT DIED IN AIRCRAFT CRASHES 

Since this video contains only 35 celebrities, more of them can be found in this new video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aLYIA1EJLZI.html

Other celebrities you missed: Knute Rockne, legendary Notre Dame football coach; Carole Lombard, classic Hollywood actress; Leslie Howard, actor; Otis Redding, legendary soul and pop singer.

Carole Lombard died in a plane crash in 1942. She was an actress, and the wife of Clark Gable. Yuri Gagarin, the first man in outer space, died in a plane crash in 1968.

If you mentioned Jim Croce, why not his very gifted guitarist, Maury Muehleisen? After all, they died in the same crash.R.I.P. Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen.

Legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne died in the crash of TWA Flight 599 on March 31, 1931. The plane was a Fokker F.10 Trimotor. Unknown to the airline, moisture had seeped into the structure of one of the airplane’s wings, and had begun to weaken the glue that held the wing spars together.

Otis Redding, Audie Murphy, Bessie Coleman, members of Lynard Skynard band ( Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines- Steve's sister) Yuri Gagarin, Amy Johnson, Leslie Howard, Wiley Post, Will Rogers. Carole Lombard, and more that should be included.

Lynyrd Skynyrd should have made this list. Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gains too. They were and still are the best country rock band to every come out of the state of Alabama (correction Florida). PS- I made a error in what state they were from... So I stand corrected, they were indeed from Jacksonville Florida. Thank you all for clarifying that for me. I'm getting old and sometimes I have memory slips. But I stand by what I said about them being the best, just from the south. They made amazing music together.

I see some other Skynyrd Fans recognized the unmentioned members that passed. I didn’t know 1/3 the other people mentioned here and I’m almost 60 and a musician. But to forget Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines is insane.

J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper)- died with Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly. Joe Kennedy Jr (JFK's brother)-died in combat in WWII in an airplane. Ronnie Vansant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines and Dean KIlpatrick (Road Manager)- Lynyrd Skynyrd- 1977 in Ms. Otis Redding- Singer- 1967 in Wi.

How could you not mention them big bopper who died along with Ritchie valens & buddy Holly or Ronnie van zandt.t

The first crash that comes to me was the crash in Oct 1977 of The Lynyrd Skynyrd band. Lead singer Ronnie van Zant, and brother sister Steve & Cassie Gains were killed along with the pilots. The rest of the band was badly injured.

List of celebrities not mentioned: General Wever 1936 Fritz Todt 1942 General Sikorski 1943 Admiral Yamamoto 1943 Antoine de St. Expiry 1944 General Dietl 1944 UN Secrerary General Hammerskjöld 1961? 2 US Congress men 1972 Lynyrd Skynyrd 1977 US Congressman Lawrence MacDonald 1983 ....

They also forgot about Otis Redding who died in a plane crash. Sitting on the dock of the bay was released after his death

Those last few seconds of your life knowing you're not going to survive impact must be an unimaginable horror..

Thurman Munson, Ronnie VanZant, Steve & Cassie Gaines, Big Bopper, RIP

I kept expecting to see Carole Lombard, wife of Clark Gable, on this list. Her plane crashed into Mt. Ptosi, right outside of Las Vegas, on its approach to the Las Vegas airport, on January 16, 1942. She had been off on a war bond tour and her plane was going to stop over in Las Vegas for refueling. Sadly, she never made it home to California.

Like many others, please add New York Yankees captain, Thurman Munson to your list of MLB players. He passed on August 2nd, 1979 while doing touch & go’s at the airport in Green, Ohio. But the absolute most famous of all, Southern Rock band Lynyrd Skynard lost 6 members on October 20th, 1977. RIP to all who have passed while flying.

Vic Morrow died July 23rd 1982 on the set of the movie he was making " The Twilight Zone" a helicopter crash

You forgot the Big Bopper. He was on the flight with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. His catchphrase was Hello Baby!!!!

I'm suprised nobody mentioned the former Blue Jays/Phillies MLB pitcher Roy Halladay. He was a hall of famer, 2 Cy Young awards, 8 all star games, and he threw 2 very historical no-hitters. He threw a perfect game in Miami, and in his first career postseason start, he threw the 2nd postseason no-hitter in MLB history against the Reds.

I guess we should include the US figure skating team on February 15th 1961 on board a Sabena Boeing 707 on approach to Brussels Belgium.

Patsy Cline is the one that saddens me the most. What a great singer!!! She had a short singing career yet she paved the way to all the women singers. A stamp was even dedicated to her three decades after her passing.

How could you forget Otis redding

James Horner was amazingly talented. His best score easily was "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"(which is my favorite by him). Thank you for including him since film composers do not get enough recognition of the hard work they do. It's not easy to score a film, A LOT of pressure. R.I.P. Horner.

Since you missed so many, you need to do a part 2

The Big Bopper died in the same plane crash as Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. You also didn't include the singer Otis Redding who died in a plane crash along with members of the Bar kays. The band Lynard Skynard lost 3 members in 1977 to a plane crash Johnny Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines.

How could they not mention Audie Murphy most decorated world war /actor

RIP my favorite female artist of all times Aaliyah Dana Haughton

And so did Audie Murphy. The most decorated soldier in US history. He was an actor after his military service.🙏🇺🇸

You didn't count Otis Redding. A fantastic singer!!!!

Had Patsy Cline lived I can only imagine what more profound changes she could've made in country music and all music genres.

How could you miss World War 2 most decorated Army soldier and also later a movie star !...... AUDIE MURPHY ?

It's always very sad when someone passes by way of an accident. Since most people never meet celebrities, I remember feeling sad, but life went on. The only exception to this was the day I found out that Jim Croce died. His music meant so much to me. I don't know whether or not it was appropriate, but I had "Time in a Bottle" played at my mother's funeral and "Photographs and Memories" played at my only sister's funeral. I just always felt like he had so much more to say. I'm grateful that his music was a part of my life.

Payne Stewart was an absolute gentleman. I'll never forget him trying to calm the crowd down when they were heckling Colin Montgomery during his match with Montgomery at the Ryder Cup.

NASCAR's 1992 Winston Cup Champion Alan Kulwicki died in an airplane crash on Thursday April 1, 1993. He was returning from an appearance at the Knoxville Hooters on the Kingston Pike, in a Hooters corporate plane on a short flight across Tennessee before the Sunday spring race at Bristol. The plane slowed and crashed just before final approach at Tri-Cities Regional Airport in a field off of Interstate 81 near Blountville. The National Transportation Safety Board attributed the crash to the pilot's failure to use the airplane's anti-ice system to clear ice from the engine inlet system.

I believe Melanie Thornton was the lead singer of the music group LA BOUCHE who had a series of dance hits in the 90's and early 2000's, including "Be My Lover".

Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge was killed in a plane piloted by Orville Wright on September 17, 1908. He was the first man ever to die in a powered airplane. The crash was caused by a stress crack in the propeller.

Koby Byant was in a copter and you didn't mention Carol Lombard. There are many more.

YOU MISSED 👉🏻 On October 20, 1977, a passenger aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed in a wooded area near Gillsburg, MS. Lynyrd Skynyrd lead vocalist/founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines all died in the crash.

Dino Martin did not die in a crash after takeoff. He was an Air National Guard pilot who crashed into the side of a California mountain, along with his fellow crewman, in a F-4 Phantom II.

I saw Jim Croce’s last show. No one knew it would be his last of course, but it was quite a shock nonetheless.

It does not seem like 25 years ago this October that John Denver died. Where does the time go?.

As a college football fan, I'm surprised the Marshall University plane crash wasn't mentioned, or in the late 90s when Nebraska QB Brooks Beringer was killed in a plane crash

You missed the Munich air Disaster of 6th Feb 1958 where 23 people including 8 players and 3 staff from Manchester United perished

You also missed Wiley Post and Will Rogers 1935 in Alaska . The entire U.S.Olympic Skating team in 196I, and the Marshall University, and Wichita State football teams in 1970.

What a heartbreaking video. I can only imagine what went through their minds knowing they were doomed. Prayers of peace for them and all the famous and non famous lives lost to plane crashes. RIP

Dean Paul Martin was killed piloting a fighter jet, an F4/c Phantom, while on maneuvers in California.

Graham Hill, British race driver; Keith Green, American Christian pianist and singer. Killed on an overloaded plane flight in Texas; Williams Kapell, American pianist. Killed in a BOAC crash approaching San Francisco after an Australian tour.

To leave Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines off your list is really mind boggling.

RIP Roberto Clemente ⚾🇵🇷 Died Hero Legend.

Thurman Munson, NY Yankee catcher. Died August 2, 1979, plane crashed practicing landings due to pilot error.

Another helicopter crash victim that can be added is Francis Gary Powers, the U2 pilot who survived being shot down while spying on the Soviet Union.

Most of The Wichita State university football team died in a plane crash in October 10, 1970 and UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold died in a plane crash in 1961. RIP to all these unfortunate souls who lost their lives.

God rest their souls and may they rest in peace

Carole Lombard actress, Carlos Gardel the most famous tango Singer and composer, Carole Lombard was at that time married tô Clarck Gable,

Wilbur Shaw, 3-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 1954 and Kyu Sakimoto (Sukihaki) in 1985.

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.

Really messed up not to mention Will Rogers and Wiley Post August 15,1935

Stevie Ray Vaughan called flying the Otis Express. SRV died in helicopter crash for those who don't know. I laid in floor & cried for days. He was that one who played & sang & wrote like I felt.

You got the date of Amelia Earhart's death wrong. Kobe Bryant's helicopter did not crash as a result of "uncontrolled flight into terrain," it crashed due to controlled flight into terrain.

Hélène Boucher (French aviatrix), Marcel Cerdan (French boxer), Audie Murphy (American actor), Colin McRae (helicopter crash), Marcel Dadi (French guitarist, TWA 800), Florence Arthaud (French sailor) & Camille Muffat (French Swimmer) & Alexis Vastine (french swimmer) helicopter crash

Audie Murphy should have been on that list!!!???

Most were preventable, piloted by people who should have not been flying airplanes in conditions, and situations they were not able to handle.

Rick Nelson also tragically died in a plane crash and flaming Explosion when it went down and crashed into a row of trees! Equally as Shocking was his "Gypsy Pilot" single that had the sound of a plane coming down and crashing at the ending! Was He trying to predict this tragedy without even thinking?

Two other sports figures that could be added are Marcel Cerdan (1949) and Ken Hubbs (1964). Cerdan had been the world middleweight boxing champion, lost his title to Jake LaMotta, and died in a plane crash in the Azores on his way to a rematch four months later. Hubbs was the NL rookie of the year in 1962, was an excellent fielder and was still developing as a hitter when he died in a private plane crash in Utah.

Big Bopper and Lynard Skynard

Some others: NASCAR driver Davey Allison, helicopter crash, NY Yankees player Thurman Munson piloting his own jet, the Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson) singer and radio DJ in the Buddy Holly crash, members of the Otis Redding band in Wisconsin in '67 and members of the Lynyrd Skynyrd band in Mississippi in '77 and members of Reba McEntire's band in Calif in '91.

David Angell, co-creator of Frasier, should also be added to the list.

Former Boston Bruins player Garnett "Ace" Bailey was one of the passengers on one of the Hijacked Sept. 11th planes that crashed into the Twin Towers. He was a Scout for the Edmonton Oilers at the time of his death

You folks should do some fact checking before you present a video. Kobe was killed in a helicopter accident and so was Gentry. Glenn Miller's plane was never found and there are a variety of theories about what may have happened. Carole Lombard was a famous actress who died when her plane crashed while she was trying to raise money through the sale of war bonds. You missed Will Rogers, the band Lynnard Skinner, Roy Halliday and more.

John Kennedy Jr. Was pilot error also.

Lotsa missing folks... there were several killed in same-plane crashes. Maury Muehleisen was Jim Croce's long-time backup guitarist and he died with Jim. Leslie Howard, the British actor and supposed WWII spy was lost while flying into Europe. Walter Hyatt died in a JetBlue airline crash in 1996. I'm afraid if I said "Lynyrd Skynyrd", Marvin's Eyes wouldn't realize that's a band.

You also forgot Carole Lombard, famous Hollywood actress and wife of Clark Gable! Also Otis Redding, Audie Murphy, and a few others. Maybe you could remake the video and include the people that were omitted? I would definitely like to see it if you do. I can’t believe I forgot to mention Leslie Howard.

How about the Big Bopper (J P Richardson). He died in the same plane crash, that Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens died in.

From me: Keith Green, 28, inspiring Christian songwriter and performer. Died July 1982, TX. Pilot error on take off.

You forgot J.P. Richardson, aka The Big Bopper, whose biggest hit was Chantilly Lace. He died with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens on February 3, 1959, The Day The Music Died. David Angell, producer of Frasier, also died on September 11, 2001, after the plane crashed into the WTC. Also, Glenn Miller's body was never recovered.

Reba McEntire’s band was killed (Mar 16, 1991) when their plane hit a mountain near San Diego.

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.

Thank you all for mentioning the ones that were not included, especially the 3 from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Also his name was Stevie RAY Vaughan and he died on August 27, 1990, the anniversary of his father's death and my 25th birthday.

America's greatest soldier and a fine actor should have been #1 on this list.

May they all RIP 🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🔥

There are many more. Also, the last half or more received more time before lapsing to the next #. However, very informative and interesting. Thank you

Every since I saw the movie Alive,you will never hear about me dying in a plane crash because I don’t get on planes .

Thank you for sharing this. Rest In Peace to all those that perished way too soon.

RIP and thanks for sharing your talents with the world everyone!

What about Ronnie Van Zant,Steve Gains, Cassie Gains ,Carole Lombard ?

Keith Green, Thurman Munson, Ronnie Van Zant, Otis Redding.

Will Rogers, Carole Lombard and Leslie Howard.

Kyu Sakamoto, singer, famous for his 1963 hit "Sukiyaki" (English title) died in Japan's worst airline disaster (519 died) in August, 1985.

I know an old guy who was supposed to be on Patsy Cline's plane. She sent him home instead, to see his wife and kids. They had been on the road a while... He was also a friend of Jim Reeves, and J.P. Richardson, the "Big Bopper". He dropped out of the music biz, (got Loretta Lynn on TV first though, he had a TV show back then in the DC area) becasue he would not fly to gigs anymore. To this day is still a member of the Grand Old Opry. He and a guy I knew only as Mr Gray would play guitar and fiddle (Mr Gray could play!) while working the late shift as guards at the GEICO facility in Macon, Ga. His name is Jimmy Haney. Great video about him from PBS in youtube. And note I am from Macon, Ga and know the Redding family. Major omission sir.

Left out Carole Lombard and Otis Redding

Rocco Francis Marchegiano, better known as Rocky Marciano, was an American professional boxer who competed from 1947 to 1955, and held the world heavyweight title from 1952 to 1956. He is the only heavyweight champion to have finished his career undefeated. On August 31, 1969, Marciano was a passenger in a small private plane, a Cessna 172 heading to Des Moines, Iowa. It was night and bad weather had set in. The pilot, Glenn Belz, had 231 total hours of flying time, 35 of them at night, and had no instrument rating. Belz tried to land the plane at a small airfield outside Newton, Iowa but the aircraft hit a tree two miles short of the runway. Marciano, Belz and fellow passenger Farrell were killed on impact.

I've no idea why, but John Denver dying in a plane crash somehow escaped me. Seeing that was a surprise!

Marvellous Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers died in a plane. ON THE TARMAC! Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33 on June 2, 1983 while waiting to fly back to Canada. Such an amazing artist!

Aaliyah, only 22 years old😭 And 9/11 happened about 2 weeks later. Such a tragic end to a great summer that year

It is 2023 now. And as a brazilian person, I still can't believe that Marília Mendonça is gone! 🥺

I wholeheartedly agree. If you pay tribute to Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, then have the decency to mention Bob also.

Jim Croce survived The Vietnam war and started his musical career to get killed in a plane crash.

Such great artistic talents lost. RIP

Hale Boggs, a US Senator from Louisiana disappeared in Alaska in Feb 1972. The crash site was never found.
