The first piece is obviously about JFK in Texas, 1963, and Jackie O in her pink outfit. The second section is Japan Airlines flight 123, the deadliest single-aircraft accident in history. There were 4 survivors. The barber of New Orleans isn't a reference to anyone specific as far as I know, just one of the many people who were victims of the New Orleans floods.
