001543296 520__ $$aOn December 13, 1977, the University of Evansville men's basketball team, coaches/staff, and fans, boarded a chartered DC-3 plane for a game in Nashville, TN against Middle Tennessee State University the next day. Ninety seconds after take-off the plane crashed, killing 29, including the basketball team, head coach, 3 student managers, athletic business manager, UE comptroller, sports information director, a popular radio announcer, and 2 fans. The site of the crash was a hilly area, with few access roads, but there was a train track nearby. A railroad car was brought to the site, and the victims were transported to a temporary morgue at the C.K. Newsome Center at 100 Walnut St., which was on the train line.
