We Are Marshall Page #3
Hey, watch the hose!
Got the president of the university here!
Oh, my God in heaven.
Oh, my God.
Come on.
Let's go.
-Hey, get behind the ropes!
-Just tell us the name of the airline!
-lf l knew anything, l'd tell you!
-Just look at the front of the plane!
Son, there is no
front of the plane anymore.
Bring another hose down here!
No, stay back. Stay up there! No!
-Let's go!
-Nate! Nate Ruffin!
This our boys' plane?
This our boys' plane?!
lt's so terrible.
You didn't get my message?
Marshall University in West Virginia
is in a state of shock today...
...following the terrible tragedy of last
Saturday night's crash of a chartered airline.
Seventy-five people died in the wreckage.
The football team, the coaches...
...and some prominent residents
traveling with the team....
These were beautiful young men...
...and it's just a tragedy
that is beyond all comprehension.
No one of us will ever
enter this stadium...
...without thoughts of them.
And so, our Lord, grant them
eternal rest and peace...
...which enables them
at this very moment...
...to look upon us here
and smile and be with us.
This is our faith, this is our hope.
Amen.
Those were not welcome days.
We buried sons...
...brothers...
...mothers...
...fathers...
...fiancs.
Clocks ticked, but time did not pass.
The sun rose and the sun set.
But the shadows remained.
When once there was sound...
...now there was silence.
What once was whole...
...now is shattered.
Have you mentioned this
to any of the other board members?
A few. Most of them
would prefer not to think about it.
l can understand that sentiment.
lt doesn't make sense to rush
right back into it, you know?
Our coaching staff, gone.
Our athletic department, gone.
So many of our boosters, gone.
We'd have to start
all over again from scratch.
My God, we don't have the resources
l know all the reasons
to suspend the program, Paul.
l'm just surprised to hear it
coming from you.
This town just didn't lose
a football team, Don.
We lost doctors, lawyers,
city councilmen.
We lost fathers, sons, husbands.
How many kids lost a parent?
How many kids lost both parents?
-Twenty-eight.
-Wouldn't be a game anymore, Don.
Be a weekly reminder of what we've lost.
And l just don't see how that would
do anyone in this town any good.
Somebody's going to
have to tell them, Paul.
All your scholarships will still be honored.
Boys, it's very important that
we take a collective breath, as a town...
...and figure out the
proper course of action.
And you think the proper course of action
is ending the program?
l didn't say we were going to end the
