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

Amen Amen Amen
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!
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. 😢
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.
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.
Never knew this.. thanx
Sorry for your loss!
Sorry for your loss
Thanks
Thanks
Soooo sorry for your loss.
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!! 💚
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.
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 😢
his mom, too
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 🇿🇦
Part of the movie was filmed in a friend’s backyard. He said it was so interesting to watch them film.
I grew up in West Virginia.
Never been to the crash site. I been to Huntington WV several times
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.
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.
I love Ashland, especially downtown, Whitts coffee shop.
I haven’t lived consistently there in eleven years. It does have a charming atmosphere.
I worked in Ashland at Cedar Knoll Galleria for 3 years, from 92-95. Great people in Ashland!
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.
Yes, 70% Crazy!
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
What a sad story! All those poor families. You did a wonderful job on this video.
Along with the Marshall plane crash, 12/13/1977 the University of Evansville basketball team plane crash, 29 died, 1/27/2001 Oklahoma State University basketball team plane crash, 10 died.
Appreciate that knowledge
I have lived in Belington West Virginia my whole life and I thank you so much for taking the time in coming here and paying tribute to the 75 victims and their families of this horrible tragedy. 🙏 I love all your videos and thank you for all that you do.. 💝
Thanks for this reminder Jordan as to how fragile our lives truly are in this world. Nice seeing Jah’s sweet face as well. ❤️🙏🏻🌈🌹
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.
Shelly was right you are very special and have a gift. Awesome job! As always! Keep up the excellent work! Love and blessings to you and your family including your little fur baby.
So very very sad, especially all the young guys almost ready to take on the world, cut down so soon. Thank you Jordan, you are always so kind and caring in your vlogs. Nancy
Crazy I’ve been watching you for a min and I play football at Marshall
Just curious, I never saw the movie,
How was it received there?
@@beaumontmichaels3575 just like how is was then football was one of the things keeping Huntington together and it got taken from. And now it’s Lowkey like even more about football cause it truly is the only thing this town looks forward to
@@speachy2151 have the numbers connected to the players who died been "retired"?✌
@@beaumontmichaels3575 No only number we have retired is “75” for the 75 victims of the plane crash
@@speachy2151 Thanks! God Bless !
Allen Gene Skeens is from my hometown, and My uncle preached several of the funerals
I find it fascinating that 6 people were unidentified, you'd think with 75 people it wouldn't have been that difficult to figure out who they were.
Like that's 6 family's that just never came forward to claim a missing person.
Still devastating rip all.
Great work Jordan
Well respected video
I thought much the same.
How could someone be unidentified? 🥺
Heart wrenching to think someone's loved one just never returned. No answers. Must be more to it. I suppose we'll never know.
I sadly have a reply to this. My grandfather was a first responder to this. In his exact words: "We got to the point where we could not identify bodies. Only pieces".
n plane crash's jet fuel burns with such intensity, clothing,wallets stuff like that are dust. Rings melt, total burn and nothing left. For me 6 left is outstanding, this was before the science of DNA. The air in the cabin was 100% on fire.The families were notified that there could not be any positive I.D. on the last 6, that is a crusher. but they are next to each other. many of those players were strong Christians, so were their families. My Army buddy whoe brother was not on the plane due to injury are Born Again, The fmilies knew their kids ,spouse, parent were with our Lord and that eased the not being sure a great deal.
@@darraha that's horrific
I think there’s a misunderstanding. All the people who passed on the plane were named and it is known who died. But there were 6 bodies whom couldn’t be identified as in, which person was which out of the 6 remaining names. That’s why there’s a plaque with all 6 names and 6 blank headstones. They don’t know which person is buried in which spot. But all the families know their loved one was on the plane and passed.
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!
Thankyou for keeping their memories alive Jordan. RIP ⚘️ MARSHALL ⚘️and all who lost their lives that day ⚘️.
Thank you so much for visiting this memorial. I've always wanted to see it. You always handle vlogs like this with dignity and respect. Thank you for what you do!
I live in Beckley, a couple hours away from Huntington. My sons maternal grandmother told me about going to the funeral of one of the people killed in the crash.
Incredibly done video Jordan. This is so tragic and needs to be remembered. So many lost their lives that day. No one does memorial videos like you which I know I have said soooo many times. Hi and love to sweet little Jah. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Jordan, thank you for your respectful and gentle vlog honoring and remembering the victims of Marshall Thundering Herd plane crash. I am not an alumni of Marshall,but we in southwest Ohio lost a couple of players in the crash. Again, thank you and God Bless my friend...
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.
Absolutely fantastic remembrance vlog ,loved the locations, memorial markers and readings of names. My respects to Marshall 🙏❤.
this is sad, it's heartbreaking. you mentioned a movie with Matthew, I saw the movie, but Lord didn't realize it was tied to your vlog. wow . the fog is no joke when it comes to driving and being on a plane. I'd rather wait. it's very sad to here about any crashes. thanks Jordan and Jah stay safe.
Such a sad loss. I hope they all rest in peace and God bless their families. Thank you for telling us this story. Stay safe.
A respectful tribute and remembrance of the Marshall crash. Thank you Jordan.
omg that is so sad. 75 people gone just like that. i cant even imagine how the community felt. :(
What a wonderful, respectful vlog Jordan. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hi Jordan, what a sad vlog, but how kind of you to name the people that unfortunately lost their lives. When you said that they couldn't identify six people, that really got me. Such a shame that it was so near home aswell. God bless them all. Great vlog Jordan.
You’re in my backyard. I’ve wanted you to do this subject. That football field wasn’t the field at the time. Thanks for covering this.
Just wanted to say thank you for taking us along on your adventures this was just heart Breaking
Beautifully done Jordan. Thank you.
Thank you for this,,,so touching. I live in Huntington, and was 16 when this happened,,,such a tremendous loss to our community.
I remember this well. I grew up in Ohio but not far from Marshall. My friend when he graduated had offers to other colleges but chose Marshall. May they all rest in peace.
So, so sad. Lovely tribute to those who passed. R.I.P. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well done Jordan! Wonderfully respectful and informative Vlog as always
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you for profiting this event from my beautiful state. It was a rough time in our history. It is great to know it is not forgotten.
There is a memorial to the Humboldt Broncos hockey team in Saskatchewan. 16 people were killed and 13 people injured in a bus crash. It happened in April 2018. Hopefully you can visit the memorial. Excellent job on this vlog.
Wow..wish I'd known you were here. I live in Ashland ky. About 20 minutes from the airport.
This vlog was so heartbreaking 💔 and so beautiful. Thank Jordan for doing this vlog.
A beautiful tribute. It was very moving when you read out the names. Thank you Jordan.

Excellent video. Your voice when naming those that died was so reverent.
I watched We Are Marshall several times. It's heartbreaking. This crash happened 10 years b4 I was born.
Matthew McConaughey done a wonderful job in the movie.
Great Video!

What a terrible tragedy all those kids and coaches killed in that Plaine crash good vlog Jordan vickie napa ca
Fountain is turned on every March. I work in the Student Center. I have seen both fountain ceremonies every year for many years. Thanks for stopping by. This campus will always mean everything to me.
It was because of the incredible movie We Are Marshall that I know about this tragedy. Matthew McConaughey did an amazing job and so did Ian McShane
Great video and great movie
So sad. I remember watching a movie about it and the following years with the new coach.
Very sad story; well done with respect. I am 2 yrs younger than what most of the players would have been now, 72. Hugs to Jah,
Hello Jordan & Jah!
Thank you for your thoughtful tribute. I was a freshman player on the team.
A fitting tribute. Well done Jorden...
*Daze with Jordan The Lion w Virginia crash sight appreciate your videos Listening 🌟 from Mass USA TYVM 💙 Daze*
This is one of the most horrible things I've ever seen. I drag out my old Marshall hoodie as soon as the temperatures start to drop in the fall.
Hi Jordan! This one broke my heart. I found the movie on tubi channel. Because of you I have been going back looking at these movies about the stories. I just looked at Only the Brave the movie about the Granite Mountain Hotshots and the Yarnell fire in 2013. I hope you go to the memorial in Arizona. Thx for all you do! Love to Jah!!!
I love how and other vlogrrs show honor and respect for all the dearly departed
It reminds of crash of Wichita state. Football team died in oct 2, 1970 I think in silver plume Colorado it was A very sad hearing on the news
Love your video of the house which was used for exterior shots on the series Roseanne!
Jordan thank you for this video. I did not hear about this accident. I was 15 out in California. If I was told I don’t remember. Appreciate you telling the story. I love your Blogss due to how much I learned from you, the best thank you and give Jah a hug love that boy🐾❤️
Jordan the Lion,
Thanks for making this video. I lived in the jock dorm, Hodges Hall, when the plane crashed. The team doctor brought his wife on the plane. Their twin daughters were voice majors at the Music Department. I recommend changing the closing music to the Marshall University Alma Mater.
