You must be a lot of fun at parties. I replied in spirit. Honestly, who would post "Entertainers killed in aircraft crashes"? You're ridiculous.

Is that the plane that everyone on it passed out and the plane flew over a few state before it crashed?

[–] bellington83 (3286) 4 years ago

Yep. It took off from Orlando heading to Dallas. The plane ended up crashing in South Dakota. Quite bizarre

That was so horrible. I remember watching it on TV. Really sad.

Yes indeed

Another one -- Will Rogers, in 1935

Not an entertainer per se, but -- Bruce Geller in 1978 -- writer, director, and producer, probably best known for the Mission Impossible television series.
