Jeff Nathan was a junior from Parkersburg, West Virginia, who served as sports editor for The Parthenon, Marshall University's student newspaper. His column appeared as "Hoof Beats." Jeff loved being a reporter, often turning in six or more stories week. He was an optimist about the Thundering Herd. He'd predicted a win for almost every game and when he didn't, he'd write "I hope I'm wrong." The East Carolina game would have been Hoof Beats' thirtieth story; the Parthenon left his column blank except for the number 30, the journalistic tag for "end of story".
On a rainy hill side in Wayne County, West Virginia, the lives of 75 people were lost in the worst single air tragedy in NCAA sports history. Among the losses were nearly the entire Marshall University football team, coaches, flight crew, numerous fans, and supporters. The event marked a boundary by which an entire community would forever measure time... before or after "The Crash". This site is a memorial to the lives that were lost on that evening; to honor those men and women who made a mark in the hearts of a school, a community and a nation.
