A riveting story about the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash told by crash survivor Ken Peden. Ken was one of three survivors that went for help. Mark Franc, Ken Peden and Drummer Artimus Pyle blindly made their way to a farm house through the dark Mississippi pine forest to get help!!!

Wish we could have heard more Skynyrd stories from this guy. R.I.P.

I hate to hear that he has died. He's the most well spoken and articulate survivor I think I've ever heard. Sadly most of the guys that are connected to Skynyrd sound lucky if they have so much as two brain cells to rub together because it's clear that life in the rock and roll world has taken a huge toll on them.

The moment he shared that he switched seats with Cassie made me rewind it and hear it again. Had no idea that Cass unbuckled and stood up. Such a loss.

Did he ever talk to you about how big of a lier artimus is?

@alanlafromboise3156 5 ай бұрын

Why would you say artimus is a lier, everything ken pedon said about artimus after the crash has been the narrative since the terrible night! I'm curious as to what you think the lies are?@@BryanClark-gk6ie

Griff, can you put a rumor to rest, or confirm it is true? The aircraft ran out of fuel. But rumor has it that the band had to wait on the plane for a long time with the engines running (for air conditioning purposes) while they were waiting for Artimus to get back with something he was getting for the band members. It took him forever to get back. I'll bet if they would have taken off on time without any delays, they may not have crashed. Your thoughts? I wonder if Gene could speak on this?

Interesting that his story of Ronnie getting up after getting a massage by Leslie and strapping in himself conflicts with Gene Odoms that he tried to wake him up because he was asleep and put him in the seat and buckled him in himself. He claims that Ronnie did the same thing Kens saying Cassie did, unstrapped and stood up right at impact. Gene claimed he did hit his head but died from being smothered because everything went forward on him. It's interesting how each account is similar yet different.

Gary said on the Skynyrd doc that Allen was between Cassie and Steve and Dean was right there with them as well. Yet in this Ken says Cassie was sitting with him.

Such a terrible tragedy. One thing that bothers me is no one was able to sue the airline or charter company.

I hate to hear that. He is by far the most well spoken and articulate survivor I've ever heard. Do you know what happened to him?
