Re: Buddy Holly
The FAA (or was it NTSB?) accident report said the pilot had trained on a different manufacturers artificial horizon instrument and misread it. He thought he was in a climb and was actually in a shallow dive. Dark area with no lights visible, snowing and he ran the plane into the ground. An observer at the airport watched the planes tailight slowly go up, and slowly come down.

Re: Buddy Holly
actually its richie valens body...buddy was wearing a yellowish jacket that night, while ritchie wore a black jacket buddy's injuries were mainly to the head, he was smashed in the forehead and his skull split in half. ritchies head stayed intact and only his face was bashed in...but you cant see it here. the big bopper had to be pulled from the plane itself...his legs were pointing towards the sky and his head was totally flat like a pancake. |

Re: Buddy Holly
Here is picture of Buddy Holly's hand luggage bag contents and Buddy holding the bag on January 30, 1959. A time capsule of a bygone era, when rock stars had talent and didn't carry pot, uppers, downers, cocaine, Fentanyl IVs ect. Buddy just carried a handgun and some aspirin for problems on the road. Here is a description of the bag and contents from Rockin’ 50s magazine issue #16 published in February 1989: "The last thing Buddy had in his hands was his overnight bag as seen in the photos on this page. This is where Buddy carried his essentials. The bag itself is a red-brown leather, measuring about 13" long by 8" wide. The height was about 6", which is a guess as the bottom was torn out during the plane crash. It was in this false bottom that Buddy carried the pistol which was found later that Spring by farmer Albert Juel. "The single handle was taped, probably for comfort in carrying. The bag had one zipper and the steel frame was badly bent. The bag is dirty, never having been cleaned since February 3, 1959. "The contents were what any typical performer of the day probably would have carried. I’ve listed the name brands in case any of you are interested. "The bag, belonging to Buddy Holly, contained a roll of adhesive tape (same size as what was used on the taped handle), a toothbrush, a half-used tube of Colgate toothpaste, a hairbrush and a comb (there must have been two combs as a BHMS member was given one of the combs by Larry Holley some time ago), a jar of Dusharme lanolin hair sheen, a Remington shaving powder stick, Sea And Ski tanning cream (8 fluid ounce plastic bottle hardy used), a small bottle of Anacin, a small clothes brush used to remove lint (with much lint on the bristles), a tube of Chapstick lip gloss, a packet of five Ronson lighter flints with two missing (no lighter was found in the bag. A lighter was found at the scene and returned to Jay Richardson.), a Ban lotion deodorant tube, and a few other assorted items, most in pieces. "I felt very funny while examining this bag. It was the last thing buddy Holly had in his hands. It has not been cleaned since 1959 and the damage to the bag and some of its contents attest to the final seconds and what happened. "Larry Holley, Buddy’s oldest brother, was the one who flew to Clear Lake after the plane crash. While at the site, he saw a high pile of clothes. ‘These are Buddy’s clothes’, he was told, ‘What do you want to do with them?’ "An upset and distraught Larry Holley told the man to ‘Get rid of them, burn them, give them away, whatever. I don’t want to see them again’. Of course, Larry Holley now knows that he should have kept them, however, the only thing he did bring back was Buddy’s overnight bag. That’s how the bag made it back to Lubbock."  ·  · |
