The National Transportation Safety Board is considering a petition to reopen investigation into the Feb. 3, 1959 plane crash in Clear Lake, IA that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and pilot Roger Peterson. The original cause of crash was determined to be pilot error combined with weather factors (snow).
In two to six months, an official decision will be reached on if the case warrants further investigation.
