My dad played in this game for ECU, he passed away 20 years ago but my mom tells me he was really beat down by the tragedy that followed this. sad stuff.

It still breaks my heart to see this after all these years. I was a 15 year old high school sophomore in Washington state when the news came on the TV and of all the things that happened to me as a young man I don't think anything affected me more deeply than this sudden incredible tragedy, the loss of these guys who almost seemed to be my peers. I've always hoped that those closer to this event have managed to grieve and go on and have more special memories of the 75 who perished than the grie

Hard to watch this, knowing what will happen to these poor players! Saw the movie and it is very sad, but done very well. R.I.P. to all 75

Yes VERY hard to watch.  Ted Shoebridge (the quarterback) was a big star at Lyndhurst HS in New Jersey. My dad was the team physician when I was about 10 - I was allowed on the sidelines, and I can still remember Ted patting me on the head, He was my first hero, and I was devastated when he died in the crash. RIP Ted!

@chugger74 I'm sorry for the heroes who died. I am Brazilian, and I was very moved by your comment. Can you give some more details about this?

Hi, I'm an ECU alum/employee. Thanks for putting up this footage. I've always heard so much about the tragic events, but this is the first time I've actually seen real footage from the game.This game marks a sad and tragic moment in history that links both universities forever. I can speak for most ECU fans that we value the continued relationship between the schools and it's personally a game that I always look forward to each year.

This one clip almost seems to show that Marshall football was known for its passing attack even back in 1970 as it was in the 1990s.
