| - The Air Indiana Flight 216 crash occurred on December 13, 1977, at 19:22 CST, when a Douglas DC-3, registration N51071 carrying the University of Evansville basketball team, crashed on takeoff at the Evansville Regional Airport in Evansville, Indiana. The aircraft lost control and crashed shortly after lift-off. The plane was on its way to Nashville International Airport, taking the team to play the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders in Murfreesboro. The National Transportation Safety Board blamed the crash on the pilot's failure to remove gust locks on the right aileron and the rudder before takeoff, as well as an overloaded baggage compartment. The NTSB report said that the plane might have been able to stay airborne had only one of the problems existed. As it was, the extra baggage shifted the plane's center of gravity to the back end, and the locked rudder and aileron made it impossible to control the overweight aircraft. The only member of the Purple Aces who did not die in the crash was 18-year-old freshman David Furr; he was out for the season with an ankle injury and thus was not on the plane that day. But just two weeks after the crash, Furr and his younger brother Byron were killed in a car accident near Newton, Illinois, leaving the entire 1977 Evansville team dead. A memorial has been constructed at the University of Evansville known as the "Weeping Basketball." On stone slabs are engraved the names of the players who were killed, including Furr. (The final name on the monument is that of Charles Goad of the Goad Equipment Company, invited on the flight by his friend Bob Hudson.) Also engraved is an excerpt from the eulogy delivered by school president Wallace Graves at a memorial service: "Out of the agony of this hour we will rise." (en)
- L'incidente del volo Air Indiana 216 si verificò il 13 dicembre 1977, alle 19:22 CST, quando un Douglas DC-3, codice di registrazione N51071 e pilotato dal comandante Ty Van Pham (42) e dal primo ufficiale Gaston Ruiz (35), che trasportava la dell', si schiantò al decollo all', nell'Indiana. L'aereo perse il controllo e si schiantò poco dopo essersi alzato in volo. Il DC-3 era diretto all'aeroporto internazionale di Nashville, portando la squadra a giocare contro i a Murfreesboro. Il National Transportation Safety Board attribuì l'incidente alla mancata rimozione da parte del pilota dei blocchi anti-raffiche sull'alettone destro e sul timone prima del decollo, nonché a un peso eccessivo. Il rapporto dell'NTSB affermava che l'aereo avrebbe potuto rimanere in volo se fosse esistito solo uno dei problemi. Così com'era, invece, il bagaglio extra spostò il centro di gravità dell'aereo verso l'estremità posteriore, e il timone e gli alettoni bloccati resero impossibile il controllo dell'aereo sovraccarico. L'unico membro dei Purple Aces che non morì nell'incidente fu il 18enne David Furr; non era salito a bordo a causa di un infortunio alla caviglia, salvandosi per un soffio. Ma appena due settimane dopo l'incidente, Furr e suo fratello minore Byron rimasero uccisi in un incidente d'auto vicino a Newton, Illinois, completando lo sterminio dell'intera squadra di Evansville del 1977. Presso l'Università di Evansville si costruì un memoriale noto come "Weeping Basketball". Sopra a lastre di pietra sono incisi i nomi dei giocatori uccisi, compreso Furr. (L'ultimo nome sul monumento è quello di Charles Goad della Goad Equipment Company, invitato sul volo dal suo amico Bob Hudson.) Inoltre è inciso un estratto dall'elogio pronunciato dal preside Wallace Graves a un servizio funebre: "Fuori dell'agonia di quest'ora ci rialzeremo". (it)
