EXCLUSIVE! Jim Reeves Plane Crash Video
1st posted & Copyright 2012 by Larry Jordan featuring Dan Hurst and Larry Jordan
WORLD EXCLUSIVE! The historic video you are about to view is very rare. Its existence was not even known by more than a tiny handful of people, until I acquired it, and it has never been made publicly available until now. It shows the scene of the plane crash that killed country music singer Jim Reeves and his piano player, Dean Manuel, on the outskirts of Nashville on the afternoon of July 31, 1964. This home movie was made on Sunday, August 2, 1964 by a bus driver for one of Jim's Grand Ole Opry colleagues, shortly after the crash location was broadcast on local radio.
In my 672 page book, Jim Reeves: His Untold Story, (jimreevesbook.com), I devote two chapters to the events leading up to the crash and its aftermath. Following more than 13 years of exhaustive and painstaking research, including scores of interviews I did with experts and even eyewitnesses to the accident who were never questioned by authorities, I am able to offer a gripping, minute-by-minute account of what transpired. I relied on forensic evidence, information gleaned from the long-lost accident report, as well as new details given to me by the Air Traffic Controller who was the last to speak with Jim by radio. I unearthed handwritten notes made at the airport that day, and had the hands-on assistance of one of Jim's charter pilots, Bill Larson, who had flown the same plane — a Beechcraft Debonair — only the day before. (He was also the first to get airborne after a search was launched). I reveal the identity of the woman who spearheaded the search efforts (who was the wife of a well known country music singer), and I tracked down the military man who is credited with finding the wreckage. I also explore some intriguing mysteries, including why for two days authorities misdirected over 2000 ground and air searchers to another area entirely, even though airport officials knew from the moment the plane disappeared from Nashville radar precisely where it could be found. Then there is also the matter of the frantic search for a briefcase that Jim had with him, and the fact that the FBI entered the investigation.
I also reveal how, according to two of Jim's charter pilots who flew with him, Jim Reeves managed to get a pilot's license before he was ready to fly. CORRECTION. I misspoke in the audio referring to Lee Merriwether as having given Jim his flight exam. It was actually ELMO Merriwether. And I said the controller told Jim he'd be out of the rain in a minute when he actually said a mile.
PLEASE NOTE that due to the grisly nature of the original video, I am only posting carefully edited excerpts, so as to not show any of the human remains.
The video begins with a friend of the photographer driving down the rural roads looking for the plane crash. Then you see cars parked along Franklin Road, the north/south highway that Jim flew over just before he crashed. At 1:14 into the video, you see a man in blue shirt with baseball cap and sun glasses. That is songwriter John D. Loundermilk, a friend of Jim's. At 1:30 the short man in plaid shirt and sunglasses, who turns around, is Charlie Lamb. 1:34 looks to the west. Spectators (not visible) are just beyond this, lined up peering east into the woods. 1:39 is the view looking south toward the tree, at the base of which the plane crashed in a steep, nose-down attitude during an intense, though brief thunderstorm. 1:50 looks across a brushy clearing toward the north. 1:54 has the camera man pointing east. Around 2:01 you briefly catch a glimpse of Eddy Arnold in blue shirt and light-colored cap as he turns around and walks south. At 2:17 you see men standing near where Jim's remains were found just beyond some branches and a big portion of wreckage (the underside and front part of the plane). 2:30 is a close-up of the engine (which was deposited right-side up just southwest of the tree). Around 2:46 the camera man (who is standing west of the tree) pans to the northeast. At 2:50 you see police searching the woods south of the wreckage. At 3:07 a local TV reporter interviews John Hornaday of the FAA, as both men mindlessly stand amidst the carnage. Around 3:16 an investigator lifts part of a wing to retrieve items from Reeves' wallet. At 3:35 you briefly see a search helicopter overhead piloted by Tennessee State Trooper Truman Clark, with his passenger Bill Larson. 3:43 shows one of Jim's boots. 3:50 the stretcher with Reeves' remains is taken away. Afterward you see part of the crowd that assembled at the crash scene; parents brought children, all dressed in their Sunday finest, after attending church. You then see cars lined up along Franklin Road, as the camera pans around and you also catch a glimpse of the high voltage power towers. (The plane crashed just south of this). The police car is exiting Baxter Lane. -- Larry Jordan, author of Jim Reeves: His Untold Story

SUMMARY
=======
Andalusia (; Spanish: Andalucía [andaluˈθi.a]; Portuguese: Andaluzia) is an autonomous community in southern Spain. It is the most populous and the second largest in area of the autonomous communities in the country. The Andalusian autonomous community is officially recognised as a historical nationality. The territory is divided into eight provinces: Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and Seville. Its capital is the city of Seville (Spanish: Sevilla).
Andalusia is located in a privileged area in the south of the Iberian peninsula, in south-western Europe, immediately south of the autonomous communities of Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha; west of the autonomous community of Murcia and the Mediterranean Sea; east of Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean; and north of the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar. Andalusia is the only European region with both Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines. The small British overseas territory of Gibraltar shares a three-quarter-mile land border with the Andalusian province of Cádiz at the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar.
The main mountain ranges of Andalusia are the Sierra Morena and the Baetic System, consisting of the Subbaetic and Penibaetic Mountains, separated by the Intrabaetic Basin. In the north, the Sierra Morena separates Andalusia from the plains of Extremadura and Castile–La Mancha on Spain's Meseta Central. To the south the geographic subregion of Upper Andalusia lies mostly within the Baetic System, while Lower Andalusia is in the Baetic Depression of the valley of the Guadalquivir.The name Andalusia is derived from the Arabic word Al-Andalus (الأندلس). The toponym al-Andalus is first attested by inscriptions on coins minted in 716 by the new Muslim government of Iberia. These coins, called dinars, were inscribed in both Latin and Arabic. The etymology of the name al-Andalus has traditionally been derived from the name of the Vandals; however, a number of proposals since the 1980s have challenged this contention. Halm in 1989 derived the name from a Gothic term, *landahlauts,
and in 2002, Bossong suggested its derivation from a pre-Roman substrate. The region's history and culture have been influenced by the native Iberians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths, Byzantines,
Jews, Romani, Muslim Moors and the Castilian and other Christian North Iberian nationalities who reconquered and settled the area in the latter phases of the Reconquista.
Andalusia has been a traditionally agricultural region, compared to the rest of Spain and the rest of Europe. However, the growth of the community especially in the sectors of industry and services was above average in Spain and higher than many communities in the Eurozone. The region has a rich culture and a strong identity. Many cultural phenomena that are seen internationally as distinctively Spanish are largely or entirely Andalusian in origin. These include flamenco and, to a lesser extent, bullfighting and Hispano-Moorish architectural styles, both of which are also prevalent in other regions of Spain.
Andalusia's hinterland is the hottest area of Europe, with cities like Córdoba and Seville averaging above 36 °C (97 °F) in summer high temperatures. Late evening temperatures can sometimes stay around 35 °C (95 °F) until close to midnight, with daytime highs of over 40 °C (104 °F) common. Seville also has the highest average annual temperature in mainland Spain and mainland Europe (19.2 °C), closely followed by Almería (19.1 °C).
