November 14 In History: The Marshall Team Died In A Crash

(CTN NEWS) – It is Monday, November 14, 2022, the 318th day of the year. The year has 47 days left.

History’s Highlight of the Day:

The Marshall University football team and its coaching staff were killed when a chartered Southern Airways DC-9 crashed while trying to land in West Virginia on November 14, 1970.

While it was drastically fictionalized, I found it to be a decent enough movie exploring various ways people cope with grief.

Some may not know (or remember) that the Marshall plane crash was the SECOND in about one month. In October 1970, Wichita State’s football team also died in a plane crash.

In the mid-80s, Wichita State gave up football. Marshall became a respected national program in the late 1990s and produced some decent NFL players (notably Randy Moss).
