00:00The plane wasn't right.

00:02We all knew it wasn't right.

00:05I'm security for this band.

00:06I said, then I want you to have the mechanic fly here

00:08and fix the plane here.

00:09He said, you don't make them decisions.

00:11I said, who would be so stupid to take this thing up with a problem

00:14and you can fix it here?

00:15We weren't happy with this airplane.

00:17Pilots say, everything's good, let's go.

00:19If it's your time to go, it's your time to go.

00:21Ronnie Van Zandt just didn't know it was his time to go.

00:24And so we boarded the plane.

00:26We were playing cards and saying, well,

00:28hey, we're flying down a pipeline.

00:30We'll knock the wings off.

00:32It'll be like Mr. Toad's wild ride.

00:34I mean, I was smashed.

00:36Gene came back and told us to buckle up.

00:38We were going to try to put it down.

00:41And then some people panicked and it got a little tense

00:44and there wasn't anything you could do about it.

00:46So you just buckled up and prayed.

00:48We started clipping trees and then it went bang, bang, bang.

00:52And that's all I remember.

00:54Ronnie told me, you're the only person in the world

00:57that I know I can trust that'll never drink, never do drugs,

01:01and will take care of us, will watch over us.

01:03That really eat up my heart for a long time

01:05because I should have stopped the plane.

01:07I didn't.

01:08And that would eat me up for years and still does.
