Supposedly Waylon lost a coin flip and had to take the bus (with a broken heater).

Didn’t he lose a coin flip or something? It’s crazy to put him in the same company as those guys.

JP said “I hope your old bus breaks down”

Waylon’s reply: “I hope that plane goes down”

"Richardson, who had the flu, swapped places with Jennings, taking his seat on the plane, while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss."

"The most widely accepted version of events was that Richardson had contracted flu during the tour and asked Jennings for his seat on the plane. When Holly learned that Jennings was not going to fly, he said in jest: "Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up." Jennings responded: "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes", a humorous but ill-fated response that haunted him for the rest of his life."

The pilot was flying at night in a snowstorm without an instrument rating. Almost like a conspiracy.
