Best Answer

The plane was having engine problems from Florida to South Carolina. The magneto in one of the twin engines was bad. The pilots informed the band and crew it was safe to fly on one engine to Baton Rouge, LA where a mechanic was waiting to repair the faulty engine. On Oct. 20, 1977 near McComb, MS , the pilots switched the fuel to burn richer thus causing them to run out of fuel and crash.

Desmond didn't push the button on time, it caused the release of the electromagnetic energy, that's why the plane's controls malfunctioned and it crashed.
