Remembering Marshall 1970

 November 14th marked the 50th anniversary of the tragic plane crash. 75 people died on the crash including 36 student athletes who were the Marshall University football team. The coaching staff and the athletic director also perished.

Fitting that the Marshall Thundering Herd won on the 14th remaining undefeated for the season. 
The crash points out how fragile life can be. The team you root for, or perhaps a rival, can be gone in a moment. 

The plane that crashed was supposed to pick up the Mississippi State team later that day.
