In aviation there is no place for mistakes. You have to do the maintenance. And it's very expensive and time consuming. And your crew cannot participate in the partying. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ricky Nelson, Jim Croce, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Randy Rhoads were victims.

In 1984 I was on a train crossing the German border when the German soldiers came on board to check our documents. I sat in my seat, eyeball to eyeball with the drug dog. When the soldier read in my passport that I was born in Alabama he got this big grin on his face and started singing Sweet Home Alabama in broken English.

True first responders!

The Marshall Tucker Band ate dinner in my house in early 78. I was 13 and my Mom owned a clothing store where they came to shop. I was a young woodwind player, and played flute for Jerry Eubanks that night with the confidence like I had written it. I nailed it, and still have my Carolina Dreams autographed album. Later on that year, my appendix ruptured and Jerry Eubanks drove up from Spartanburg SC to see me. I was hospitalized 55 days. My heart stopped once and when Mom told him, he came up with his flute. I woke up to him playing Can't You See for me.

Nevermind those ignorant dipshits man. Those of us that can use our brains know exactly what you meant. Unfortunately a lot of the younger generation don't appreciate older music for what it was unless they grew up listening to it. They just stick to the popular music of their time. But a real fan of music will venture out from what is popular and discover all kinds of music. They can appreciate music from all kinds of genres that span different decades. I love music period. So I have a broad taste and appreciation for music. I fortunately grew up listening to all types of music. I love all of the classics because of what my parents listened too. But I also had cousins and uncles that turned me onto all kinds of stuff as well. So I like everything from blue's, rock, rap and metal. I can appreciate r&b, funk and reggae. Everything from The Jackson 5, MJ, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, The Gap Band, Lynnard Skynnard, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Easy E, NWA, MF Doom, DJ Screw, UGK, Korn, Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Marvin Gaye, KC & Jojo, Usher, T.L.C., 3 6 Mafia, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Chuck Berry, & Elvis. I could go on and on really. I listen to anything I like as I'm not closed minded. There's just so much music out there that's great. I listen to a lot of underground music as well. Basically if it's good, then I enjoy it. It's good to have an appreciation for older music though. It's why I enjoy rap and hip hop a lot as well. You can listen to some songs and notice the sample they got for their beats. It's how a lot of those DJs and producers find them. They have a broaden appreciation for music. It's like DJ Paul from 36 Mafia. He said when he was a kid he would listen to everything. You'd never suspect him to listen to 80s New Wave, Metal, Rock, etc. Music also brings ppl together so keep listening to what you like. Nevermind the haters man, ppl who think that only a certain type of person is allowed to like a specific type of music.

Steve Gaines was a MONSTER musician! He was the complete package - writer, singer and a tremendous guitarist. He was a seasoned musician long before he joined Skynyrd having honed his chops playing in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas as well as Detroit, Michigan. He was another of the long line of great musicians from the Tulsa, Oklahoma region like JJ Cale, Leon Russell, Carl Radle, Elvin Bishop to name just a few. He will never be forgotten.

Literally the soundtrack of our lives. I met the band when I was 11. My young Aunt worked production, and we were flown to St. Louis to watch from the backstage in 1974. All the guys were nice, very down to Earth...more like big brothers than rock stars. It was very special. I thought I was super cool riding in the limo with Ronnie Van Zant! We got out and walked into the arena. It was like a dream. Later in high school I did a catering gig for Rossington Collins Band when they came in town. Special memories, very special music.

These people of McComb MS definitely rose to the occasion and should be proud for what they did ! Bless you all!

Was a Skynrd fan, but to me the heroes of this story were the resourceful and caring local folk who came to help strangers and probably saved almost all the injured on the plane. I don't believe many if any, would have survived their injuries had these great people not jumped right in to lend a hand. Very sad, but because of the rescue, inspiring, too. I think the rescuers are the types of Southerners the band, particuarly Ronnie, was writing and singing about.

50 year old man here crying his eyes out.

My older sister graduated high school in 1977. I had long been a fan of Skynyrd. I grew up on Skynyrd. I was in her Freshman dorm room that fall and her bf had the Street Survivors album. It was a football game day so it was the Fall of 1977. At Oklahoma State U. I was thumbing through the LPs while watching the fans go into the stadium from the windows on the south side of Bennett Hall. I can't remember if it was before or after the crash but it was damn close. I actually held the LP with the original cover. In my hands. She's got a PhD now, has raised some kids and moved around a lot. I asked her if she still had the LP a few years ago. She couldn't remember having it. I couldn't forget she had it.

My life has gone by much too fast. 17 when this happened fresh home from basic.At friends popping that first can of ice cold beer & heard those dreaded words. breaking news alert. My god where has the time gone? I'll be 60 in 3 days and of course I'll be jamming me some free bird and simple man. i am a simple man and kept it simple. alone and lonely but simple

crash site is about 20 miles from me just down the road remember it well !my number one band of all time!!

I was at the Kalamazoo County Fair in August 1977. They were playing in the bandstand. I was walking around listening to them that night. I still remember listening to them.

This was such a well done video. Thank you. I went to high school with Steve & Cassie. Steve was one of the sweetest, nicest guys I knew during those years. I was a year or two younger and he never treated me as an underclassman. I had an interest in guitar and he took me under his wing, so to speak. Taught me the first three chords I learned. He was such an amazing talent, even in high school. Cassie got Steve the job with the band. I saw them maybe a year before the crash & Cassie told me the band knew they would only be able to hang onto Steve for a short time. They knew his star would soar far beyond them. So glad you mentioned their last album featured Steve's songwriting and musical talent. Thank you again for an excellent documentary. This was the first I heard that Steve was possibly alive when taken from the wreckage and maybe died in route to the hospital.

I’ve searched far and wide for a video of him singing live “Ain’t no good life “. Gone too soon. He could’ve taken the band far and would have been a star. Already was to me❤️💔

I walked out to give change to an elderly couple, and told Juan that Elvis died. The couple couldn't drive for about a hour because of the pain they were going through. LS, did the same for me.

Such a tragic loss....we used to back in 73 and into 74 hang out with the Atlanta Rhythm Section and LS when they played Atlanta opening for the Who....as I DJ'd for our college radio station. Everyone was just great. Friendly, kind, are down to earth. They were all really wonderful people. Even to this day it still upsets me. I cannot even go to LS show.

Lynyrd Skynyrd has long lived on musically, since that tragic plane crush in October 20, 1977. Thus far, this is the best raw interviews and documentary of that faithful plane crush, which took one of the greatest singers, songwriters, composers and talented musicians of Southern Rock. Lynyrd Skynyrd appealed across the board to millions of rock fans who appreciate true musical genius. There are no substitutes for the departed Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins (one of the greatest guitar players, so much talent, he is credited for the uniqueness musical distinguished sound of Lynyrd Skynyrd) , Billy Powell is one of the greatest classic piano players. Ronnie, Allen, Gary Rossington were such talented, composers, lyricists, of what true unaltered music is consider genius talents, who leave a legacy for the ages. Lynyrd Skynyrd WAS, IS and WILL continue to be ONE of a kind rock band. The tribute bands and versions of Lynyrd Skynyrd are just that versions, as each musician of the original band gelled together to form the Lynyrd Skynyrd fusion hard to duplicate into the future. Remember prior to the plane crush, ( was a young teen then, loved rock in general, southern rock definitely) went and got in line to buy the Street Survivor ALBUM at the local Tower Record and Tapes warehouse on its release date 10/17/1977. The cover of the albums was the photograph of the band with the flames in the background. When the news first was released here in Southern California, about the crush, it did not clearly specify who had survived. It was a shock, so painful, the fans inundated radio stations wanting to find out who were the survivors. It was later on that it was announced the victims, Ronnie Van Zant did not survive. Suppose new regenerations adapt to fads, musical nuances, machine enhanced music, prefabricated, commercialized music lyrics, empty in content or meaning, mindless, or degrading just to make a quick buck and noise. Nothing comes close to the original classic rock ‘n’ roll music showcasing raw talent, all human composed, giving life to the instruments and driving the life source of those instruments to create music, lyrics that spoke to the heart and mind, which encapsulated personal memories that occurred around those songs played out in the radio, records, discs., etc. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of those unforgettable bands, great classical music lives on for future generations and their music is totally relevant today.

There are a lot of people that act unselfishly towards a group of young people not much older than the rescuers. This story shows that only later did they understand the ramifications of whom they helped. I had been a fan of LS music before the crash but I did not really know the band members. That took several years after the crash for me to invest the time to get to know them better They had just scratched the surface of what they were capable of. .

I was 8 yrs old my sister was 19 I remember her crying about this tragedy. That’s the day I learned their music & love it! Now 54 teaching my grandkids ♥️ 🎶 Thank you to all who helped with the rescue! ✌️

Great job on the Rockumentary! I’ve been a fan of Skynyrd since my older brother brought home a sample copy (radio station promotional album) of Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1973. I was at the first concert of the Southeastern leg of the Street Survivors official tour in Lakeland, Florida, just a few days before the crash. I wore the tour t-shirt to high school the next day, and a friend nicknamed me Skynyrd that day. Not knowing their plane would crash within just a few days. The nickname stuck, and I still have people I went to high school with call me, not by my name, but by Skynyrd. I learned about the crash from my parents watching the news cast, and after returning home from a night out with my friends. The concert and their performance still fresh in my mind. I was so shocked and in disbelief about Ronnie, Steve and Cassie’s death, I think I must’ve been in denial for days afterwards. It didn’t seem real, that they were gone! I must’ve played the Street Survivors album I had bought just a few weeks before, every day for months after that! I’m sure my family was burned out hearing it. But I still love their music and have seen a version of the new group with Johnny and Ricky several times now. I can say that concert in 1977, was one of the best I’ve ever been to though, for sure in my top 3 of all time! I’ve probably been to nearly 50 concerts, so that speaks volumes about how great they were back then live! I’m glad the survivors continued performing and touring until their passing, and I’m glad Gary has continued to tour with the new group! I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to see the original members performing live, and I’m proud to say I have been a fan of theirs since the beginning! I pray they can keep the Skynyrd legacy alive for many years, and for many future generations to enjoy! Fly on Freebird! Never change!

At my high-school the morning after the tragedy; I was standing in the hall at my locker and my BFF Tracy came up to me; tears running down her face...."Tracy, what's wrong?"...she said..."Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed...everybody was hurt and some were killed!" All I could do was hold her in my arms...tears running down her face as her head was against my chest. Classmates walked by...some would glance at us as we stood there... others busy talking/walking w their friends were oblivious to one of the Greatest Rock n Roll/Southern Rock Tragedies that has ever happened. I TOTALLY AGREE w the one person interviewed who stated that Ronnie Van Zant was going to venture into Country Music....What a PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE that would have been for both the band & fans of the band.

I believe that this is the most real story of the plane crash, these people in the video, did not know who they were nor did not care that they were a rock and roll band with long hair, all they knew is that there was a plane crash and people needed help. and they did thier best to help the injured people, these people are hero;s to mankind period,

I was was an aircrewman on a P3 patrol bomber at NAS Jacksonville, riding in the tail as several pilots took turns in the pilots seat getting their required night takeoffs, touch and goes, and landings. Once we were flying, I asked to listen to the ADF frequency and I tuned into the local rock station, WAPE. We rolled out on the last landing, turned onto the taxiway, and I heard the announcement off Skynyrd's plane going down. Haunts me still. Some of my friends were resentful when Molly Hatchet came on the scene, saying they were trying to take their place. No one can.

Thanks Emma, for making me sit here bawling my eyes out. No matter how many videos I've watched of that fateful nite and the on going history of L S, my heart breaks. SKYNRD truly was, my ALL time fav, then, now, forever. Thanks to Johnny for keeping the memory💝

If those local guys hadn't responded as fast as they did, it's likely there would have been no survivors.

(There could be a mention of this, I am not sure).They pilot also stalled the plane at an altitude to low to recover from it,trying to stretch it out to hit the little clearing a few hundred feet ahead.
