There's actually a little more to it than being just an optical illusion. Yes, all the slanted buildings and whatnot that these 'Mystery' places use to dramatize the effect are playing tricks with your perspective, but there is some sort of unusual phenomenon present in the background. Every one of the demonstrations they conduct can be explained away if you consider the fact that you're actually leaning to one side a bit, but think you're standing up straight. This natural occurrence is also what makes cars seem to roll up hill in neutral at any of the many 'Gravity Hill' type places all over the world. The cars actually roll down a slight grade, but your tilted perspective makes them seem to be rolling uphill.

Damn, that sucks.

That looks a bit like the museum grounds at Wright Patt. P-51 in the background?

They moved her into the new hangar that was being built in the last year or so IIRC.

On February 3, 1959, rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, together with pilot Roger Peterson. The event later became known as "The Day the Music Died", after singer-songwriter Don McLean so referred to it in his 1971 song "American Pie".

At the time, Holly and his band, consisting of Waylon Jennings, Tommy Allsup, and Carl Bunch, were playing on the "Winter Dance Party" tour across the Midwest. Rising artists Valens and Richardson had joined the tour as well.

The long journeys between venues on board the cold, uncomfortable tour buses adversely affected the performers, with cases of flu and even frostbite. After stopping at Clear Lake to perform, and frustrated by such conditions, Holly decided to charter a plane to reach their next venue in Moorhead, Minnesota. Richardson, who had flu, swapped places with Jennings, taking his seat on the plane, while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss.

Soon after take-off, late at night and in poor, wintry weather conditions, the pilot lost control of the light aircraft, a Beechcraft Bonanza, which subsequently crashed into a cornfield, leaving no survivors.
