Best Answer

The place crash that killed Buddy Holly was caused chiefly by pilot error. The plane took off at night with low clouds, conditions that require relying on flight instruments. The pilot was unqualified for that type of flying. The pilot may also have been confused by the plane's artificial horizon, which used a different means of display from the planes he had been trained on.
