We are…Evansville
Every time I see the trailer for We are Marshall, I wonder how people who lived through the UE plane crash (yesterday was the 29th anniversary of the crash) will receive the movie. Will more people go watch it in Evansville, or will it fade away like so many other movies that have a lot of pre-release hype?
It seems to me it would cause an increase of stories about a town that experienced a similar tragedy just a few years after Marshall’s.
To date, I’ve only found one article.
I’m just curious if there’s going to be any more discussion or news stories or attention given to the UE tragedy.

We are Evansville
There was not a whole lot in the paper. There were several TV news stories…. local interviews, archived news footage and newscasts….. not overdone; yet definitely acknowledged.
Also, in one of them, an Evansville reporter interviewed a western Kentucky woman, her son was on the ill-fated Marshall football team….. she indicated that she understood the movie was not really in honor of those who perished; rather it focused on what happened afterward – the re-building…… she said she had no plans to watch the movie.
