James Joseph Croce (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, January 10, 1943 – Natchitoches, Louisiana, September 20, 1973) was an American folk and rock singer-songwriter. Between 1966 and 1973, he released five studio albums and numerous singles. During this period, Croce took a series of odd jobs to pay bills while he continued to write, record, and perform concerts. After Croce formed a partnership with songwriter and guitarist Maury Muehleisen in the early 1970s, his fortunes turned. Croce's breakthrough came in 1972, his third album, You Don't Mess Around with Jim, produced three charting singles, including "Time in a Bottle", which reached No. 1 after Croce died. The follow-up album, Life and Times, included the song "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", which was the only No. 1 hit he had during his lifetime.
On September 20, 1973, at the height of his popularity and the day before the lead single to his fifth album I Got a Name was released, Croce and five others died in a plane crash. His music continued to chart throughout the 1970s following his death. Croce's wife and early songwriting partner, Ingrid, continued to write and record after his death, and their son, A. J. Croce, became a singer-songwriter in the 1990s.

Elton John - Candle In The Wind (Princess Diana Tribute)
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candles burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
Even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you've brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candles burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed yourself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's rose
From the country lost
Without your soul who missed the wings of your compassion
More than you will ever know
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candles burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever will

O Voo Air France 4590 correspondia a um voo regular da companhia Air France, de Paris a Nova Iorque, feito com uma aeronave modelo Concorde.
O dia 25 de julho de 2000 ficou marcado na história aeronáutica pela ocorrência de um acidente envolvendo essa rota. Uma fuga de combustível, devido à rutura do tanque n.º 5, provocou um grande incêndio sob a asa esquerda da aeronave. Depois de uma sequência de falhas, a aeronave não conseguiu ganhar altitude e caiu, instantes depois da descolagem.
Após o acidente, o Concorde sofreu algumas modificações e 15 meses depois do acidente ele voltou ao serviço de passageiros. Porém, em 10 de abril de 2003, Air France e British Airways decidiram, juntas, encerrar os voos comerciais do Concorde. A Air France encerrou os voos do Concorde em 31 de maio de 2003 enquanto que a British Airways encerrou os voos em 24 de outubro de 2003.
(...)
Apurou-se nas investigações que a rutura do tanque ocorreu durante a
descolagem, tendo sido causada pelo violento choque de um pedaço do pneu
nº 2 (localizado no trem de aterragem principal esquerdo) que estoirou
devido a uma peça de um DC-10 da companhia Continental,
caída na pista do aeroporto Charles de Gaulle. Logo em seguida houve
perda de potência no motor nº 2 e em seguida no motor nº 1. O DC-10
havia descolado cinco minutos antes do Concorde. Após 18 meses de
investigações, foi apresentado o relatório final sobre o acidente.

Larkin Allen Collins Jr. (Jacksonville, Florida, July 19, 1952 – Jacksonville, Florida, January 23, 1990) was an American guitarist, and one of the founding members of the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. He co-wrote many of the band's songs with frontman and original lead singer Ronnie Van Zant.
(...)
On January 29, 1986, Collins was driving a new black Ford Thunderbird when he was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of his girlfriend, Debra Jean Watts, and paralyzed the guitarist from the waist down, with limited use of his arms and hands. Collins pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter as well as driving under the influence of alcohol. Due to his injuries, he would never play guitar on stage again.
Collins' last performance with Lynyrd Skynyrd was at the band's first reunion after the plane crash at the 1979 Volunteer Jam V in Nashville, Tennessee. All remaining members of Lynyrd Skynyrd reunited officially in 1987, but Collins served only as musical director, due to his paralysis. As part of his plea bargain for the 1986 accident, Collins addressed fans at every Skynyrd concert with an explanation of why he could not perform, citing the dangers of drinking and driving, as well as drugs and alcohol. Also because of Collins' accident, the band donated a sizable amount of concert proceeds from the 1987–88 tour to the Miami Project, which is involved in treatment of paralysis. Collins founded Roll For Rock Wheelchair Events and Benefit Concerts in 1988 to raise awareness and to provide opportunities for those living with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities.
Allen Collins died on January 23, 1990, from chronic pneumonia, a complication of the paralysis. He is buried beside his wife in Jacksonville, Florida.
In 2006, Collins was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
