Were These The Tragic Final Words Of Ronnie Van Zant?


   The evening after Ronnie Van Zant and the rest of Lynyrd Skynyrd performed at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium in Greenville, South Carolina, they boarded their private plane to head to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They were touring in support of their newest album, "Street Survivors," and they were in high spirits. But all was not right on October 20, 1977. Guitarist Allen Collins had a bad feeling about the twin-engine Convair 240. Two days earlier he'd seen a huge plume of fire shoot from the right engine while they were midair. He didn't want to board the plane that night. Neither did the band's backup singer, Cassie Gaines.
