On October 20, 1977, the American Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd was involved in a fatal plane crash near Gillsburg, Mississippi.
The band had chartered a Convair CV-240 passenger aircraft to fly them from Greenville, South Carolina—where they had just performed—to their next tour stop in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Toward the end of the flight, the aircraft ran out of fuel and the pilots attempted an emergency landing in a heavily wooded, swampy area
