Terrible directing and acting. I did get a sense of horror of what it was like in that plane and a greater sense of sympathy towards the crash victims but as band characters they werent even cardboard they were the thin plastic lining inside the box of cornflakes. Travesty of a film ultra low budget expoitation to make money from the death of the band members who hired mr. Pyle 3 years before the crash. Despicable. Hey im not done yet. Im incensed. I remember how big this news was in 1977 on FM RADIO.
And suddenly mr. Pyle is a "hero".
I like bob burns better anyway.
This band was destroyed by cheapness in hiring 2 fool pilots to pilot a plane buddy holly wouldnt have flown on.
At 5,000 feet with no fuel no power no engines you arent lynyrd skynrd anymore. Youre 26 passengers hoping to survive.
These pilots couldnt fly a rubberband. They could have landed that plane somewhere else other than in a tree.
