Patsy Cline Plane Crash Anniversary. Interview with 1 of 2 remaining men who discovered the plave

This interview intentionally leaves out graphic details of the crash out of respect for the families. This interview focuses on how the aircraft was discovered on that tragic morning 60 years ago.
Sadly, youtube will not allow me to mention Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins and Randy Hughes.
Those families should be equally represented in this tragedy

The wreckage was discovered around dawn by William Jefferey Hollingsworth and son, Jeners. (The following quote, by Jeners Hollingsworth about discovering the crash site, is a bit graphic.)
"We were out on Old Stage Road trying to locate the plane just as it turned daylight. We looked up through the mist and fog, and spotted a section of a yellow airplane wing in the top of a tree. We went down the steep hill and saw pieces of the plane scattered around a 300 foot area. There were parts of bodies on tree limbs and on the ground. Daddy started backing up from the area and told me to go call the Sheriff's office."

Great interview, but I had to turn up the volume up to hear the gentleman speak, then turn it down when the interviewer asked questions.

I'm noticing something that's interesting about the airplane engine ok, the investigation concluded it was weather and pilot couldn't see, but it seems they had engine trouble to me!

At a 175 mph nose dive I wouldn’t expect to find anything put together machine or people.
