In the early morning hours of February 3 1959, outside of Mason City, Iowa, a
small plane crashed.
We will always remember Buddy Holly, and the others who were killed in the
crash during a snowstorm.

Somebody lost a coin flip to see who would get the last seat on the plane that day. Waylon Jennings was amongst those left to ride the bus to Fargo instead of flying with Buddy Holly et.al. Jennings jokingly said "I hope the plane crashes". His words haunted him to the day he died.
