CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK)—West Virginia Governor Jim Justice has signed a bill that will establish an annual holiday to recognize those killed in a 1970 plane crash.
75 people, including 36 Marshall University football players and 39 others from the school, were killed on Nov. 14, 1970. The plane crashed into a hillside as it approached Huntington.
November 14 will now become a “special memorial day.”
