The site of the 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd tour plane crash has drawn visitors over the years. Tuesday October 20, 2015 marked the 38th anniversary and drew several veterans from the night of the crash.
all my 43 years I have always been intrigued by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ronnie Van Zant Gary Rossington and the rest of the bunch.. thanks for this video I wish y'all could have spoke a little bit longer and told us a little bit more information about the crash.. but thanks anyway... Ronnie Van Zant was the best singer songwriter that God has ever slug guts into.. it ain't fair he's gone..... God bless the original Lynyrd Skynyrd Band...
I know you guys did the best you could. We lost the great Lynyrd Skynyrd band that day. For some reason this ban haunts me every night in a great way. I love you mr. Ronnie Van Zant thank you for all the beautiful music brother. Can't wait to meet you in the next lifetime
I can tell you that on October 21 the day after the crash there wasn't a dry eye in my entire school including teachers. I was in 8th grade. Forever remembered!!!
Oh my gosh! I remember this day so well,, I was around 12 or so,, my Mom asked my brother and I if we knew who the lynard skynrd band was, we were yeah we know who they are and listened to their songs a lot,,she said well,I just saw on the news where their plane crashed. I am 57 now and still love their music. And can anybody tell me why some of these people on here are making such rude comments. So sad.
I’m building a guitar from wood from the Hell House original Dock, and foundation from Hell House, and incorporating metal from the plane. Once it’s complete we will loan it out to touring musicians so those timber’s will continue to sing and vibrate. LLLS. Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd.. if anybody knows Gary Rossington I’d love for him to sign it when complete, or donate a pick, or something I can incorporate into it. Tell him to hit me up...
Never get in a plane that you have to check the fuel tank with a stick, or the pilots are confirmed alcoholics, or another band rejected buying the plane because it was a junkyard special. R.I.P to all that died that day---- Your music lives on forever.
I was a senior in high school in Cleveland Tennessee when it happened thier next show after Baton Rouge was Chattanooga Tennessee 30 miles down the road from me.
The music world has lost many tremendously talented artists to aviation crashes. The band members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Randy Rhodes are the ones that I remember the most. Just really senseless and terrible. God bless each and every of them.
I remember that night well. The rock station I was listening to at the time was 104 WKIR ( I think that was the call letters anyway) in Jackson, Tennessee. They came on about 9pm and said that LS had crashed in south Mississippi. Then they played LS songs.
Thank you guys you do what you do u don't care who u get it done that's what counts,ditto I was amazed myself watching this intranet stuff to learn that there was so many survivors,but no fuel is the reason I'm not big on statistics but I discovery type shows and history channel cause I was not into history but its now all I watch,but fire is the reason for death in most airplane crashes,because there's so much and its more flammable then auto gas.thanks guys job well done...I had a neighbor who was battalion chief and he help save this dumb kid from a nite of drinking,so I'm forever thankful,and he was a good boss too...
I resent anyone who hunts trophies like a bunch of serial killers. Bad karma coming your way and the bad Wrath of all who died. What the hell is the matter with you😡👿
@@sheri1155, back in the day, Roadies who tuned guitars we're considered "part of the band", as we're the pilots, who tried to safely get the members to safety...Dean Kilpatrick was road manager, considered "part of the band", and he was killed in the crash
@@brianglade848 The pilots were flying for whomever leased that private passenger plane, so no, they were not part of, or affiliated in any way with Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Im not trying to make a joke out of this awful unfortunate event. Nor do I believe in anything supernatural. But did anyone notice at the end of the video, at about 2:16 on the counter, there appears to be a man. And he has long bushy hair like the band members did when they were young. And he is white as a sheet & he appears quite ghostly. Its kinda creepy. And this ghostly -type man just appears to be gawking at something. Super weird.
LOL please tell me you're joking. There's a photo of him earlier in the video looking at a map. He is prob a fan who made the journey down there to the crash site. Besides, he looks alot like Artimus Pyle, who was a survivor
Thanks for responding Ted. It was actually the very first video I looked at about the band. I'd always wanted to know more about the band but never really looked until now.Thanks for the info.
Had two concert tickets and a t- shirt for the upcoming show in Little Rock I won on a radio station call in contest for KAAY radio in Little Rock, home of Beaker Street back in the 60's and 70's. I was listening to the station when they broke in programming to anounce the crash and Little Rock would be the concert that never was. RIP to all in the crash and Gary Rossington and family.
The fuck do you care what length their hair is, shithead? You're such a dumb fuck that you misspelled your own name and subscribe to a channel called "Bigfoot Evidence". Talk that way about Skynyrd in any bar down here in Georgia and see what happens to you.
hahaha, they needed to go to southern barbers with my Dad. That barber would look at my dad, and he'd say "give em a regular", and if you embarrassed him in that barbershop; he'd whip that ass. You were coming out of there with white walls, one way or a nother.
