January 31, 1957 – Two airplanes collided over the playground of Ritchie Valens’ junior high school, killing or injuring several of his friends. This resulted in a fear of flying. Valens had been at his grandfather Frank Reyes’ funeral that day but was upset about the loss of his friends. #ROCkabillyHop #RitchieValens #RocHop
