It was approaching dawn on Saturday, the 27thof September, 1986.
Metallica's two tour buses were making their way alonga god-forsaken road
that lies somewhere between the Scandinavian citiesof Stockholm and Copenha
gen. Apart from these vehicles, the route was deserted- there was no one el
se travelling at that unearthly hour of the morning.Suddenly, for no appare
nt reason, just before 6:15 a.m., one of the coachesswerved violently to it
s right and started careening wildly down the wrongside of the road. It was
out of control, and a crash was inevitable.
The bus' brief, but horrific, excursion came toa halt some 60 feet furt
her up the tarmac. By this time, the vehicle wason its side and lying in a
ditch by theside of the road, near the smallSwedish town of Ljungby.
During the unavoidable confusion that followed,the vast majority of the
overturned bus' passengers managed to scramblefree of the wreckage. Those
that emerged included three of the four membersof the band. In all honesty,
the survivors had been extremely lucky, asthey had all somehow managed to
escape with little more than minor injuriesand shock.
Swedish police arriving on the scene of the crashimmediately arrested t
he driver as a matter of routine, but later releasedhim without charges aft
er further investigation revealed that the causeof the crash was black ice
on a nasty bend in the road.
Unfortunately, however, there had been one fatalityin the accident.....
. what is more, the deceased individual turned outto be one of the group. S
o, tragically, in the short space of those fewdreadful seconds on that lone
ly Swedish road, Metallica's dreamlike existencewas suddenly transformed in
to a hellish nightmare. Their 24 year old bassplayer, Cliff Burton, was dea
d.
"I saw the bus lying right on him. I sawhis legs sticking out. I freake
d. The bus driver, I recall, was tryingto yank the blanket out from under h
im to use for other people. I justwent, 'Don't fucking do that!' I already
wanted to kill the guy. I don't know if he was drunk or if he hit some ice.
All I knew was, he was driving and Cliff wasn't alive anymore."

The dazed group dealt with their anxiety in themanner with which they
were most familiar: drinking. James broke two hotelwindows and screamed,
venting his rage. Kirk and his guitar tech, JohnMarshall, were so shaken
that they left the light on in their room thatnight. On this day James,
Lars and Kirk returned to the United States.
28.10.86
