So incredibly tragic. I'm 67 years old and I have a lot of bad days and when I see things like this, I give myself a kick in the butt and realize how lucky I am to have made it this far, bad days and all. Well done Jordan as always.

[@Eyewonder3210]

So many of us around the same age as you are saying the same about their lives lately. I hope you find peace soon.

I went to Marshall University. The ceremony where the fountain is turned off is so sad and touching. I remember when this crash happened, even though I was a child. My parents loaded us up and headed to Huntington right after the crash happened. (I live about 40 minutes away.) The whole community was shocked and in mourning. My late friend Pat was attending MU at the time and was friends with a lot of those players in the crash in addition to the members of the “young” and upcoming Thundering Herd. She loved MU and missed her lost friends until the day she died. May they all RIP. 😢

[@sarawilliams597]

Jordan, also buried at the memorial is Nate Ruffin. He was one of the players who was injured and didnt make the trip. He died many years later of cancer, but wanted to be buried with his fallen family. To answer one of your questions about the children left behind, 70 lost one parent. 18 children lost both parents. 50 years later, and this accident still impacts our community and our school.

[@odalisgonzalez6875]

This tragedy reminded me of my cousins passing away the same way back in February 15, 1970. She was a member of the Puerto Rico women's national volleyball team called The Pinkies. They were flying back from a game in the Dominican Republic when the plane crashed. No one survived except for the team captain who decided to take another flight. I wasn't born yet but I remembered my aunts home had a large hallway where you saw my cousins picture and all of her trophies & medals. It was a mini museum. So sad what happened to her & her team. To this day, the town where she grew up still has the arena named after her and a statute of her. I've seen both in person. There's a plaque as well but I haven't returned to see it.

Sorry for your loss

[@odalisgonzalez6875]

Thanks

[@odalisgonzalez6875]

Thanks

[@contessalouannec8064]

Soooo sorry for your loss.

[@amyxplores810]

I was born and raised in Huntington, and we all remember where we were when we received the phone call about the crash. We lost our doctor and many of my friend lost both parents that day. It was a tremendous loss for the entire town. I have been living in Charlotte for the past forty years but recently moved back to care for my 90yo mom. I started watching you about a year ago and enjoy your fabulous adventures, it inspired me to start a channel. Thank you! .I wish I had known you were in town. Merry Christmas and many blessings!

[@misterblinkies5037]

I was born in Huntington and lived most of life near Huntington. I was 9 yrs old when the crash happened and remember it. Never forget it... just like the Silver bridge collapse in Point Pleasant WV.

[@melindavance8511]

Thanks for the tribute Jordan. I live in Huntington and am a Marshall graduate. One of our local sports casters (Keith Morehouse) his dad died in the crash. So sad 😢

[@gothard5]

his mom, too

[@melonyjohnson3470]

I live in West Virginia so this sad event holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for always showing so much reverence and respect in your videos. We Are Marshall!! 💚

[@butterfly23t]

Tears leaked as you read the names. I live close to Marshall, and the annual tribute there is a somber and touching occurrence. WSAZ tv sports caster Keith Morehouse lost his father in the crash. There was a 50th anniversary Tribute that had actual film footage of the team’s last game before the crash. Thank you for your respectful vlog.

[@leandrevanzyl1435]

We are Marshall is one of the best movies. I cried from start to finish. Was so good to see this. Thank you Jordan. Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@lisaknell1809]

Part of the movie was filmed in a friend’s backyard. He said it was so interesting to watch them film.

[@kimwaddell4218]

I grew up in West Virginia. Never been to the crash site. I been to Huntington WV several times

[@nancydavis4618]

If I went toTHE crash site I would cry my eyes out

[@jackiehoward7300]

Jordan, thank you for your respectful, touching tribute to those who passed in this horrific disaster. I am from Ashland, Kentucky. Only about 10 miles from the Huntington airport. Years ago, I heard an urban legend that for some time after the crash, planes flying from tri-state airport would dip their wings. It was a salute to those killed in the Marshall University crash.

[@amyxplores810]

I love Ashland, especially downtown, Whitts coffee shop.

[@jackiehoward7300]

I haven’t lived consistently there in eleven years. It does have a charming atmosphere.

[@lisaknell1809]

I worked in Ashland at Cedar Knoll Galleria for 3 years, from 92-95. Great people in Ashland!

[@nativevirginian8344]

My husband is a pilot. It is sad because most air crashes are caused by pilot error. I have not read the NTSB report on this crash, you can find it at the FAA website. You mentioned the altimeter, if they were landing & in contact with the tower there may have been something else going on with the plane. RIP Thundering Herd, 1970. Thank you JTL for a respectful video & sweet memorial.

[@DonnaDeen13]

Yes, 70% Crazy!

[@jeffreykjones2748]

I live in Murfreesboro Tn. Both my parents went to MTSU , we here in Murfreesboro have never forgotten that game , we did everything for Marshall in paying our respects. We will never forget and we always talk about it at the games when we play them now, I was a teenager in 1977 and remember it well, we were all in shock here. RIP to all who perished in that crash. You will always be in our hearts here in Murfreesboro.

[@sharonsiegrist7183]

Jordan this was very nice and very respectful. Sad to think that after all these years they still don't know who those six people were. God bless them all!

[@brianb.5473]

Jordan. In 1970 Freshmen weren't eligible to play. That's is mostly who survived. Probably a fee injured players as well. Freshmen weren't even allowed to travel with the team. About 8 years ago I became friends with a Freshmen on that team. I never talked about the crash. I figured if he wanted to talk about it he would. He never did. Sadly he passed from cancer last year. Excellent video as always Jordan.

[@darraha]

Thanks for showcasing this. I wasn't born yet when this happened. However, my grandfather was a fireman and first responder to this crash. It haunted him for years. It's nice to see someone take their time to experience it all. From the ashes we rose. We Are. Marshall!

[@drdouglas36541]

Thank you for being so respectful. I have family living near the school. The football field has a memorial on its wall worth paying a visit to

I have been to that site. Been to the grave site and the memorial fountain on the campus. Stood on the M at the stadium. I always watch Marshall Football when it is where I live (michigan). There are still pieces of the plane in the valley below the plaque.

Jordan, thank you for this wonderful vlog about the plane crash..I’m a Marshall Alumni and life long Huntington resident. The crash has brought together the community and will never be forgotten. I know many of the victims families. My wife and I are raising our daughter to carry on the memories of the 75. There is a memorial bronze located at the stadium as well. Thanks again and GO HERD!

[@ruthjesse6759]

So very sad, but the Memorial on Campus is Totally Gorgeous and Totally Amazing. How They Memorialize There Lives Is So Beautiful. 😢. The Plane Crash Site Memorial is Totally Amazing. Makes my Heart Sad And It Hurts for Each One Of These People. So Many Couples we’re on the Plane that there are MANY CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTS. I would imagine the town are still Grieving. And I’m Sure That Some People Had To Movie Away From TOWN THEY LOVED, Just To Be Able To Survive and Move On With There Lives, and Town Grieve for There Loss As Well. 😢Thank U for Sharing this Vlog.
