Marshall Football Team’s Plane Evacuated

A charter plane carrying the Marshall University football team to a game against East Carolina was evacuated Friday, 11/10, after smoke was reported in an engine, emergency officials said. No injuries were reported among the 200 people aboard, but the timing was eerie.

Almost 36 years ago, on Nov. 14, 1970, a plane carrying the Marshall football team home from a game against East Carolina crashed, killing 75 people, including most of the team.
