43 years ago: Lynyrd Skynyrd's Plane Crashes
Today exactly 43 years ago the plane of the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd crashed.
On October 20, 1977, 26 people, including musicians, roadies and crew, left for the state of Lousiana on the band's private plane, a Convair 240. Having mechanical failures (pointing out that there was an insufficient amount of fuel for cover the distance), the plane crashed in a forest near Mississippi
Vocalist Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines die instantly, while Cassie Gaines, her sister, with her throat cut from end to end, cries and dies until she dies in the lap of two of the surviving musicians - this report was released by one of musicians surviving the disaster, despite being denied by doctors who performed the autopsy on the bodies.
Just a week before the accident the album "Street Survivors" had been released, which featured the band on fire on the cover. The disc was collected by the record company and the cover changed after the accident, making the original a rarity.
The accident exposed Lynyrd Skynyrd in the media in a way never seen before, which contributed to the albums already released selling a few thousand more copies.
Only three years later, the survivors of the air disaster form another group, the Rossington-Collins Band, which did not have much impact. Allen Collins then decides to pursue a solo career, interrupted in 1986, after a serious car accident that left him paralyzed, dying in 1990 from pneumonia.
In 1991, they meet again and record the unprecedented "Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991", with Ronnie's brother Johnnie Van Zant, on vocals and with guitar trio Ed King, Rossington and Randall Hall (formerly The Allen Collins Band).
Earlier this year a film came out telling how this accident occurred in the testimony of surviving drummer Artimus Pyle.
It can be seen that it was the neglect of the band's manager who did not want to spend on a better plane and the impudence of one of the pilots who caused this tragic accident.

Your original is fine grammatically but there are lots of commas so it is difficult to read.
Having mechanical failures (poAfter fintding out that there was an insufficient amount of fuel forto cover the remaining distance), the plane crashed in a forest near Mississippi
I don't think 'insufficient fuel' is a 'mechanical failure'. A 'mechanical failure' would mean part of the plane stops working due to an engineering problem.

Feedback
I didn't know about this. I had a lot of fun listening to music and correcting your journal. Your use of commas is grammatically correct but there are too many! Please simplify your sentences.
