Country western singer Jim Reeves (39) flew into a brief but intense thunderstorm at 16.51 hours. A minute later the plane crashed and he was killed when he apparently lost visual reference with the ground and experienced spatial disorientation on approach to Nashville. Also killed was his pianist and manager Dean Manuel (30). The crash site was in a wooded area north-northeast of Brentwood approximately at the junction of Baxter Lane and Franklin Pike Circle, just east of what is now Interstate 65, and about 6 miles south-west of Nashville International Airport 4 minutes before touchdown.
