Since this video contains only 35 celebrities, more of them can be found in this new video: th-cam.com/video/aLYIA1EJLZI/w-d-xo.html
Why was there no mention of soul music legend Otis Redding's death (that was also due to a plane crash) in your video? A glaring omission, in my opinion.
Audie Murphy who passed away memorial weekend 1971.
You forgot Lynard Skynard. The lead singer, a guitarist and his sister who was a backup singer died on impact. I don’t know how you missed that.
Several glaring errors & omissions in this video. Kobe died in a helicopter, not a plane. John Denver caused his own death by screwing around with his fuel controls. The plane was not out of fuel, but the engines were fuel-starved.
@@TheHockey12 Hadn't John Denver's medical certificate been revoked? He shouldn't have been flying in the first place, if I recall correctly.
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.
Others could be found in here. th-cam.com/video/aLYIA1EJLZI/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for reminding.
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.
That plane that Carole died in is still up there about a half hour south of Las Vegas, up in a small mountain. When I was growing people there would occasionally hike to it (not an easy hike). They left the plane and its parts due to it being too difficult and costly to remove.
@@powerboatguy2308 Her Mom told Her not to go on the plane because she thought the Plane's number was suspicious! She was into Numberology.
Ironic that Yuri survived a trip to space, only to die in a plane crash. 😳😵💫
@@michaelboyce9373 Yes, Carol Lombards mother wanted to be safe and also take the train instead. Because plane travel was not too common back then. I think they had a coin toss over it and carol Lombard won the coin toss and they took the plane.
@@powerboatguy2308 Must be pretty rusted out, by now.
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.
Agreed!
Absolutely!
Maury's artistry on his 12 string guitar was un-equaled and was what made Jim's songs so appealing!
A few years after this tragedy, I taught with Maury's girlfriend Judy (last name withheld for privacy), who taught English in a high school in Phoenixville, PA. I've been to Jim's grave in Frazer, PA.
Thank you for recognizing Maury.
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.
This is about 35 Celebrities who have died in plane crashes NOT 38!
@@normadailey7953And Ronnie, Steve &, Cassie are NOT celebs?😡🤬
How could you not mention them big bopper who died along with Ritchie valens & buddy Holly or Ronnie van zandt.t
I saw both Valens and Holly there
Reba's entire band died in a plane crash.
They mentioned in the beginning
Big bopper not mentioned you are right about him
Exactly. Not to mention Otis Redding, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines.
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.
Johnny Horton was killed in an automobile accident.
Hmmm I guess I shod have checked further. My mom told me when I was a little girl that it was a plane crash. I've taken him off my list and thanks for letting me know.
@Lisa C
If you look up the Canary Islands plane crash, which is the worst one in airline history, there is under notable deaths, a former Playboy Playmate. She was also a former wife of Russ Meyer, film director.
@@lisakwaterski6707 thanks for the info. I was a senior in high school in Yukon, OK and I don't remember this at all. The video I watch was a documentary Pertaining to causes and technical. Didn't see much about the celebrities that perished.
I was gonna say Otis Redding
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.
They also forgot about Otis Redding who died in a plane crash. Sitting on the dock of the bay was released after his death
Sadly, he landed in water, and MAY have drowned as he hadn't learned to swim. That's what I heard.
@@lindaf4836 It wouldn't have mattered if he could swim, he was found strapped to his seat. There was one survivor, however.
Plane crashed into the Mississippi River R.I. P.
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.
A hundred percent correct.
Hate to nitpick, but Lynryd Skynyrd was from Florida not Alabama.
They have been at war with each other since then!
Ronnie was from Jacksonville Florida
Florida..
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.
That was so tragic. I had just purchased their new album 'Street Survivors' with the group standing in flames the day before they crashed and the day after the crash record stores were pulling them from the shelves. It was devistating because we had seen them play in April of that same year. It was one hellva show. It would be the last time I saw Ronnie sing. It was so sad to hear he and the Gains siblings had died. It hit everybody hard.
I always thought it was so prophetic the line in "Freebird". I'm sure he sang it at the concert the night the crash happened: "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me? I must be passing on now, cause there's too many places I've got to see........Cause I'm as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change."
I was the first person at my boarding school to hear of Jim Croce's passing.
Everybody at the school was a fan, and it was the deepest grief many of us had ever known.
Yeah why they didn't show him in the video?
Ronnie Steve and Cassie are the first to come to mind they missed. Also Otis Redding Will Rogers Big Bopper and Reba's band just to name a few.
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.
I was surprised he wasn't on the list , yet Cory lidle was , may they both rest in paradise.
Forgot Otis Redding and The Big Bopper
Along with the Yankees Catfish Hunter too!
@@michaelboyce9373 Pretty sure Catfish died from ALS, not in a plane crash.
My brother was one of the rescuers when Thurman went down. So 😔
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.
I thought of her as well.
@@unseelie63 me too.
Definitely should be on the list.
Carol and her mother were both killed. They were going to take the train to California because it was safer. How ironic.
The crash happened after the plane departed Las Vegas, not on its approach
Those last few seconds of your life knowing you're not going to survive impact must be an unimaginable horror..
Am moment you can't ever cry 🙁
And hopefully if they felt any pain it was only for a second before their spirit flew out of their badly damaged body!
As opposed to a slow, lingering, painful death from cancer?
Usually the soul leaves the body right before any trauma happens.

Vic Morrow died July 23rd 1982 on the set of the movie he was making " The Twilight Zone" a helicopter crash
hardly!
A helicopter landed on him and two small children as they were standing in shallow water on location during a movie shoot,I would hardly call that dying in a helicopter crash,more like the blades from the helicopter killed them, They were never on the helicopter
So true Cole Robert!
but he was not on the helicopter
@@stevesparks2001 oh yah!
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.
Kick Kennedy also was killed in a plane crash, jfk jr.
JFK son Jr. Died in a plane crash too.
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.
So sad
Thurman Munson, Ronnie VanZant, Steve & Cassie Gaines, Big Bopper, RIP
You forgot the Big Bopper. He was on the flight with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. His catchphrase was Hello Baby!!!!
He would have had to say 100 celebs who....
Hello B B should have been number 3.
I forsure thought Otis Reddings as well
If he wasn't killed in the crash EVERYBODY would have forgotten him by about 1962... or earlier. He was NOT the big star that he's been made out to be... for that matter neither was Richie Valens. The myth has outdone the reality.
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.
Yes, I was going to add that to the comments if nobody mentioned them. Wiped out the whole team and some coaches and family members, traveling to the World Figure Skating Championships.
I just remembered another one but this one is an old one. In 1931 the fame Notre Dame football head coach Knute Rockne was killed in a Fokker F-10 Trimoter on October 10th 1931. I guess there is enough famous people killed in plane crashes for at least another episode or two.
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.
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.
Ronnie Van Zant
@@elainenetherland7769 You are correct. I realized right after I sent that that I had the wrong Van Zant
They 4got Glen Miller
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.
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
....
Since you missed so many, you need to do a part 2
How could you forget Otis redding
There were probably too many people to cover. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Or the big bopper. They put buddy Holly and Richie valens who was on the same plane
Audie Murphy
No doubt
Tony Lema?
How could they not mention Audie Murphy most decorated world war /actor
Because their research on this subject, was not intense enough and complete enough! 👍
AMEN for Audie!! Ditto the Big Bopper who died with Buddy Holley & Richie Valens.🌟🌟🌟
(PLS re-check your picture of Valens for accuracy; Richie was only 17; man in photo appears much older Thx!)🖤💔😢
I wondered that myself.
Carol Lombard...
@@janettamcgee8124 no, that's Richie, he looked a lot older than he was...
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.
Such a touching story. I agree with you completely about Jim Croce. I still have a couple of his albums and those 2 song titles that you mentioned are among my favorites as well.
You missed the Munich air Disaster of 6th Feb 1958 where 23 people including 8 players and 3 staff from Manchester United perished
Duncan Edwards
Wow! That was ten days before I was born.
Had Patsy Cline lived I can only imagine what more profound changes she could've made in country music and all music genres.
Agreed, and the same could be said about a few more of these tragic people.
@@richardikin so true as well. One that comes to mind for me is Jim Croce. Incredible talent gone way too soon.
@@GeorgeLennon100 According to a videography on Jim, he was tired of touring and was giving it up to spend more time with his family. The concert he performed in MS was to be his last.
Same With Jim Reeves,too.
Same with Buddy Holly
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.
I believe he's one of the few golfers that could've given Tiger Woods a run for the money.
That incident crushed me. It was very sad.
Payne Stewart's crash was a haunting one. The plane continued to fly on autopilot for over 1000 miles while all of the passengers on board were rendered unconscious by depressurization before finally running out of gas and crashing in South Dakota.
There was another golfer named Tony Lema who was killed years ago.
Payne was a committed Christian.
I saw Jim Croce’s last show. No one knew it would be his last of course, but it was quite a shock nonetheless.
I remember when he died. I was still in school but I didn’t know until now that it was in a plane crash. I didn’t know that about John Denver either. This is very informative.
I still remember the day, exactly where I was when I heard about Jim Croce. Just loved him.
I had tickets to see him at his next concert. Which he obviously didn't make. It was supposed to be at the University of Maryland 's Cole Field House.
RIP my favorite female artist of all times Aaliyah Dana Haughton
You didn't count Otis Redding. A fantastic singer!!!!
👍
Also Roy Halladay and Thurman Munson
A part of the plane with Otis' name had been hung in LA's Hard Rock Cafe. Along with Otis were several members of the Bar-Kays,his backing band.
Only one member of The Bar-Kays survived,their Bassist.
Otis died before Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay became a big hit
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.
Davey Allison
@@jamesfox3478 I knew there were two, I just couldnt remember the other one
Also the Hendrick team plane.
And Davey Allison,another racecar driver.
And Davey Allison
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.
And so did Audie Murphy. The most decorated soldier in US history. He was an actor after his military service.🙏🇺🇸
Koby Byant was in a copter and you didn't mention Carol Lombard. There are many more.
If they have to mention all of them per people's request this video would last all day lol
@@glow1815 That is true, but if you're going to go to the trouble of listing Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, why not include the Big Bopper who died in the same crash? If Cory Lidle's crash is worth noting, what about Thurman Munson and Roy Halladay? Let's be honest, Carole Lombard was a huge miss. And no, l am not going to do my own video.
Pro wrestler Bobby Shane
Splitting hairs, copter or plane, it was the result of a air incident
Patsy Cline died because of stupidity basically that's where it should say on their stupidity
It does not seem like 25 years ago this October that John Denver died. Where does the time go?.
I will never forget where i was when i got the news of John Denver's death. Love his music. His death hit home for me.
Fifty years ago this year that Roberto Clemente died.
It goes by faster and faster as you get older
@@rocker76m88 The older you get, the shorter life becomes. Cherish and live fully every moment and all of your loved ones, while you can.
@@jrnfw4060 yep you as well
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.
Yes you ! Are So Right ! I was thinking about the Olympic Skating team that died in a Plane ✈️ Crash .
IIRC the U of Evansville (IN) basketball team was killed in a crash sometime around 1970. Sorry I can't recall the details.
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.
And let's not forget Queen Alia of Jordan, married at the time to King Hussein. She died when her helicopter crashed in 1977
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.
How does a large plane ever Run out of gas? Isn't there someone assigned specifically simply to keep an eye on the gas gauge?? What were everyone doing at the time? Drinking beer or singing cumbia ya? That's so dumb to comptemplate....
@@daviddavis3389 They were dumping the fuel to lighten the load,although it was a foolish move. it also had a fire while in the air,caused by a faulty heater...despite it being a former WWII plane and yet,was deemed unsafe by the airport,the warning went unnoticed by all! therefore,they all knew it was not safe but they needed to get to their next gig,so,they boarded.
@@michaelboyce9373 - YOU ARE NOT ENTIRELY CORRECT AS YOU ARE CONFUSING RICKY NELSON FLIGHT WHICH HAD CABIN HEATER FIRE WITH THIS LYNYRD SKYNYRD CRASH - HERE IS A MORE DETAILED STORY OF THIS CRASH - Lead vocalist / founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines ( Steve's older sister ), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray all died as a result of the crash while twenty others survived.
The tragedy abruptly halted Lynyrd Skynyrd's career until Van Zant's brother, Johnny, reformed the band ten years later.
The plane was supposed to be taken by Aerosmith and they rejected it when the FAA put the plane OOS. The pilots had their buddies fix & inspect the plane to make it flyable. Cassie had a ticket on another plane but Ronnie convinced her to sell it back.
@@michaelboyce9373 One of the women protested, but was overruled due to arrogance. Maybe that was Cassie? And I think Van Zant was the one who refused to listen to her. She should have refused to board, but was probably either too intimidated to argue further, or she trusted assurances the plane would be okay. Band members wouldn't get away with that, today.
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
Wichita State lost their team the same year as Marshall.
@@WesJackson-jg1ui No Wes, the Witchita crash was on October 2, 1970 and the Marshal was in November of 1970. I was a senior in college at the time and WSU was in the Missouri Valley Conference along with my school -St. Louis U.
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".
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.
Dean Paul Martin was killed piloting a fighter jet, an F4/c Phantom, while on maneuvers in California.
It devastated Dean his Dad,who wasted away,miserable about losing his namesake son! He lost his appetite,and eventually,his life because of that.
He used to order his favorite Italian dish,Spaghetti & Meatballs at Spago's,and wouldn't touch it save to play around with it,observed one Diner!
@@michaelboyce9373 Deep and profound grief kills. As a caregiver, I've seen it happen.
@@jrnfw4060 Indeed it does.
I remember how shaken his father Dean Martin was when the news broke.
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
❤️❤️
I thought the same thing
How you could forget Otis Redding? I cannot believe it!😗😗😗
Yeah it must be so frightening
I actually know what literally went through their minds....the ground🤣🤣🤣🤣🤠🤠🤠
To leave Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines off your list is really mind boggling.
How could you miss World War 2 most decorated Army soldier and also later a movie star !......

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.
That's really sad
Thurman Munson, NY Yankee catcher. Died August 2, 1979, plane crashed practicing landings due to pilot error.
Most were preventable, piloted by people who should have not been flying airplanes in conditions, and situations they were not able to handle.
you are so right human error most of them could have been prevented
Pilots must not have any common sense .!! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out!!!!!So many absolute preventable feathers!!! Just so sad

Audie Murphy died in a helicopter crash in Virginia in 1973.
Wilbur Shaw, 3-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 1954 and Kyu Sakimoto (Sukihaki) in 1985.
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
Carole Lombard actress, Carlos Gardel the most famous tango Singer and composer,
Carole Lombard was at that time married tô Clarck Gable,
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.
It was later reported by a Soldier Miller may have gone down due to a Bomb Drop in the sea..He claimed they were dropping extra bombs deemed useless,when Miller,unknowing,was caught in the mist of one of them being dropped!
@@michaelboyce9373 yeah Glenn Miller's plane strayed into an area where bombers dropped their bombs if their misson was aborted over English channel
The mountain that Carole Lombards plane crashed into, they say you can still find peices of the plane
Maybe you should fact check the spelling of "Lynyrd Skynyrd."
A Former RAF Pilot remembers they were getting rid of unused Bombs by dumping them in the Ocean,and Miller's plane was in the way of one of them! He went Down in the Explosion's Spray!
David Angell, co-creator of Frasier, should also be added to the list.
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.
Look up vids of world champion fly casting angler Johnny Dieckmann. Fly-casting, bait casting, spinning gear, he could make hollow fiberglass rods sing!
Dieckmann died in the American Airlines Flight 1 crash at Idlewild, 1 March, 1962.
@@winstonelston5743 Sad. I’m sure there are many more that were inadvertently missed. 😔
Big Bopper and Lynard Skynard
James Horner, one of the greatest conductors of films I've ever heard!
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.
Roberto Clemente
Not a jet, a two-engine private plane.
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.
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.
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.
John Kennedy Jr. Was pilot error also.
He was so handsome. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
And one of his uncles, Joseph Kennedy Jr died in a plane crash during World War 2.
The Kennedy's sounds as if they're cursed
Sadly but he should had wait the next day or left earlier. Not enough experience flying at night
@@Rainmanpdt49His Aunt did too
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?
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.
I saw the live show, The Buddy Holly Story in Melbourne and even though we all knew what happened, when it was announced about the crash, there wasn't a dry eye in the theatre.
How about the Big Bopper (J P Richardson). He died in the same plane crash, that Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens died in.
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.
He was NOT a star,just a Pilot.
@@michaelboyce9373 According to Webster, a celebrity is "a famous or celebrated person".
@@michaelboyce9373 and kobe was just a sportsman....Richthofen was like Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan in his field...so...
Occupational hazard.
Richthofen was not killed because of a crash--he was killed by anti-aircraft fire from one of several Australian anti-aircraft gunners on the ground. Additionally, despite being credited with Richthofen's death, Canadian pilot Roy Brown did not fire the round that killed Richtofen. Brown killing Richtofen was impossible given the position of the two two aircraft when Brown fired, in relation to Richthofen's fatal wound.
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.
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
I've no idea why, but John Denver dying in a plane crash somehow escaped me. Seeing that was a surprise!
They should differentiate between FLYING your own plane, and FLYING ON a plane, private or public. JOHN DENVER was a pilot, and was flying an experimental small plane when the gas tank empty of 2 thing happened. Sad to say, but flying small planes is just inherently more hazardous. In part since they take off at more times that are iffy, and have less room for error with small engines and such.
@@lindaf4836
He ran out of gas over Monterey bay at 500ft
He pulled the nose up which turned his plane into a rock and fell into the ocean
Suppose to point nose down 3 degrees to maintain air speed like Sully did in the movie.
It’s a natural reaction to pull the nose up.
Dead at 53
@@lindaf4836 John Denver should have still been alive if he had obeyed the law. He had received a couple of DUI's, and his medical certificate was denied in 1996, resulting in his pilot's license being suspended. Two days after Denver died, National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Matt Furman revealed that the musician's flying license was suspended, so he was not supposed to fly. As he was flying over Monterey Bay, California, one tank either ran dry or caused an engine failure due to fuel contamination. As Denver reached around to switch tanks, he inadvertently exceeded the recommended maximum bank angle, and put himself into a low-altitude stall/spin, crashing into the bay and killing himself on impact.
@@TheGospelQuartetParadise I hadn't heard all that before!
@@karenharris722 I follow aviation accidents and NTSB reports is how I knew.
America's greatest soldier and a fine actor should have been #1 on this list.
Thank you for sharing this. Rest In Peace to all those that perished way too soon.
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.
And Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the plane in 1959 but he gave his seat to The Big Bopper. Because J.P. was very sick.
@@donaldkennedy9573 I thought it was Richie Valens that was real Sick . He had the Flu . And yes Wynton Jennings was suppose to board that Chopper Plan. They rode through Storm conditions.
Correction Spell check I mean Plane ✈️
@@lisaanderson6920 I think they both were sick then. Jennings said that J.P. looked very sick and that he was extremely cold. Waylon didn't think that J.P. would last long. And Valens probably scared because he hated flying because he saw that plane crash in Pacoima.
So very sad 😢
Left out Carole Lombard and Otis Redding
Will Rogers, Carole Lombard and Leslie Howard.
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 .
You included Corey Lidle - a so-so pitcher - but you didn't include Thurman Munson - a firebrand catcher??? Munson died on August 2, 1979 in Canton, Ohio on August 2, 1979, in a plane crash due to a failed touch and go landing.
I think Roy Halliday was better than both of them....although he was retired at the time
What about Ronnie Van Zant,Steve Gains, Cassie Gains ,Carole Lombard ?
Nothing
From me: Keith Green, 28, inspiring Christian songwriter and performer. Died July 1982, TX. Pilot error on take off.
RIP and thanks for sharing your talents with the world everyone!
Reba McEntire’s band was killed (Mar 16, 1991) when their plane hit a mountain near San Diego.
You missed one of the best Major League pitchers of all time. Roy Halladay who pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies. . On November 7, 2017, Halladay died when the ICON A5 Founders Edition amphibious aircraft he was piloting crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
Add Thurman Munson catcher of the World Champion New York Yankees of 1977 and 1978
What about Knute Rockne the Notre Dame coach!!
May they all rest in eternal Peace. When I seen what happened to Glenn Miller, his plane did crash into the English channel. The plane was never found
Keith Green, Thurman Munson, Ronnie Van Zant, 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.
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
Such great artistic talents lost. RIP
Carole Lombard is a big one to miss!
Hey, what about the Big Bopper. He was on the same plane as Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly.😢
Aaliyah, only 22 years old😭 And 9/11 happened about 2 weeks later. Such a tragic end to a great summer that year
Yes and the world changed after this
Plane was overloaded and piloted by an unqualified pilot who lied about his experience. Hired one week before the crash. Company went out of business.
Crashed at Marsh harbor just outside the airport. Not sure if taking off or landing at the time
