Correct. My old man's best friend was one of the first to get to the crash.

Skynyrd was just unreal....... 
their whole catalog is just filled with song after song of brilliance.

Between Magnolia and Gillsburg, MS and there's a small memorial there.

ABB were technically great musicians but their songs were forgettable and lacked the recognizable lyrics or instrumentals of many LS songs in my view.

Ronnie talked a bout doing a duet with Merl Haggard since he was a big fan. He also wanted to do country music. If they lived, they would become an outlaw country band. They would have killed it. It would be Lynyrd Skynyrd and Alabama battling for best country band at the CMAs.

There is so much awesome shite going on in that video. Smoking hot bra-less 70's broads everywhere, Billy Powell's old school Bud heavy can sitting on top of the piano, Allen Collins going off, etc...

Why is the engine on fire? I thought they ran out of fuel.

Haha, that’s a major oversight.

Because it simply gliding wouldn't look cool. Facys don't matter.

Artimus Pyle, pretty sure he claims to have seen flames from one of the engines, along with some other shite

The one I hate is sweet home Alabama. Grew up in downtown skynyrdville, went to bama
Currently I'm pretty close to halfway between van zant park and brickyard rd. Btw, if you're ever near Doctors Inlet, they are putting up street signs for brickyard rd again. All of my childhood, up into my mid 30s it was a concrete pillar, so people would stop stealing the sign This post was edited on 7/1/20 at 10:10 pm

You are out of your element here. They were popular everywhere in the country and have a solid argument for the best rock band ever in the United States. The songs still hold up.

There was no evidence of an engine fire or malfunction.
There were reports of fire seen on the Right engine (not left as in the picture) on a previous flight and that was looked into.
The plane had zero fuel when it started to go down so an engine fire wouldn't matter.
