Dan Gryder’s “Probable Cause” youtube channel has a detailed discussion of the crash. Gryder is an experienced commercial pilot who investigates aircraft incidents. I recommend it if you want more information about the aviation issues here.

Peggy Sue was the most played song at the Roller Rink I frequented in the early 60’s.
