No, he was pinned in the wreckage. They hit the ground at a pretty good clip and cartwheeled a couple hundred yards.
Sad day. Shouldn't have happened. JR |

Who gave up their seat on the plane and lived to tell about it?

14 here. Ricky Nelson's crash had more of an effect on me even though I was 40 something.

VH1 did a Behind the Music on Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens back in 1998 and it's very good. Buddy's older brother was interviewed as was Don McLean. Gary Busey said that during the filming of the late-70s movie in which he played Holly that Holly's widow was on the set and kind of lost it at how much Busey looked like Holly when he was in full makeup. Same for Lou Diamond Phillips when he did "La Bamba" in 1987. Valens' sisters hung on Phillips crying just before they shot the airplane scene. When the Beatles met Ed Sullivan during their first U.S. trip in February '64 John Lennon asked Ed if the spot on the stage was where Buddy Holly stood in 1957. Sullivan said it was and the Beatles stood there in awe.

"...well, I hope your plane crashes", or words to that effect.

2/3/59 was my 15th birthday.
I still remember the words: "Chantilly lace and a pretty face And a pony tail hangin' down A wiggle in the walk and a giggle in the talk Make the world go 'round"
