Quoted from jesster64:I read a book by one of Randys friends/ fellow guitarist, who was on tour with them. He said something to the effect that the pilots ex-wife? was on the bus and he thinks the pilot tried to kill her in a murder suicide. He imagined randy fighting the pilot for control once he figured out his plan, with randy saving his friends on the bus. I think the plane hit the front half.
The pilot's body was loaded with cocaine, he was trying a low flying stunt.
