Ritchie Valens

I am hearing that he became afraid of flight because of this incident; ironically, he died 2 years later in plane crash. Carlm0404 (talk) 02:37, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2nd fighter jet

So the article tells what happened to the people on the airliner and one of the fighter jets, but doesn't say anything about the other fighter jet's crew. I'm assuming they died too, but the article doesn't mention them. 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:544F:E012:2320:EFE4 (talk) 23:56, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The other F-89 was not involved in the accident. 67.188.1.213 (talk) 08:53, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
