    For this special report. No idea if this is a recreation or the real thing, but it's a pivotal point of music history.

    The N.Y, Times had a story about the crash on page 66 [Business section] in their Feb 4th edition.

    That was the Feb 4th, 1959 edition. Apparently, "the day the music died" wasn't big news everywhere.
