Cleaned up a sentence and removed the reference to Xavier discontinuing its football team since it isn't very relevant.
Both have been restored by myself and Youngamerican. The opposing party has failed to give any reason and is attempting to circumvent due process by engaging in a revert pinwheel. As standard, it should stay as it is not only relevant to discussion, but enhances the page with additional information. Seicer ( talk) ( contribs) 00:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Danny Deese was not a member of the flight crew, and was not responible for the safe conduct of the flight. He was not listed as flight crew according to the NTSB in their investigation. His presence on the aircraft was not required in order for the airplane to fly per the FAR or the aircraft's type certificate. Some individuals and groups may consider him as part of a crew, based on the fact that he did help out... Thus, I count only 4 crew personell. Opinions? Check-Six 05:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I suggest that a Wikipedian travel to Huntington, West Virginia, and photograph the Marshall plane crash site. I would like to see what the plane crash site looks like today. The photograph would be released to the public domain and inserted into the Wikipedia article. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 20:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Is it okay if the article would have a list of the victims of the Marshall plane crash? Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 21:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
In the first paragraph of the article it says there were 37 players and 8 coaches and then in another part of the article with a little box around it, it says there are 36 players and 9 coaches. Lbm5007 ( talk) 22:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)lbm5007
What's a "normal time" for a charter? Beyond when the customer wants to leave?
On an unrelated note, it looks to me like an incidence of a "landing intention" accident: the crew had decided they were going to land, conditions be damned. Any thougts about mentioning it? TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 15:28 & 15:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
I am the grandson of John barker the president of Marshall university after the crash. I have the original photo taken for the cover of the 1971 football schedule ... Showing the president, athletic director, and football coach. It should be on your page, if Marshall no longer has the photo, have them send your contact info to his widow in Texas. I have the only printed copy, outside the university.
The title of this being "Southern Airways Flight 932" is misleading in that the title alone conveys that this was a commercial flight and not a chartered one. This flight was not like other plane crashes in which the airline and flight number are the only comprehensive description of the tragedy. Every single person on this plane except for the crew was a part of Marshall University's football program as coach, player, announcer, or booster. The flight was chartered by Marshall University. This subject, having been in several documentaries and even a Warner Brothers film, is not known to anyone as the Southern Airways Flight 932.
More importantly, a similar incident happened to Wichita State's football team a month earlier. That team also chartered flights--in this case, two--and one of them crashed. The Wikipedia page for that incident is titled "Wichita State University football team plane crash" acknowledging the school, team and tragedy. So, given the similarity between Marshall's plane crash and Wichita State's, and the dissimilarity with other flights, the page title needs to be "Marshall University football team plane crash." Despite the fact that an engine search will lead a searcher to this page, the current title is inconsistent and disrespects Marshall's tragedy and loss with a generic flight name that does not convey the full breadth of the story nor is ever used recognizably as the comprehensive summary of the tragedy.
And allow me to add this comment later. The tragedy is referred to as the Marshall University plane crash or air tragedy on other Wikipedia pages. Like this one for example: /info/en/?search=Harry_Bertoia
