Victims of the March plane crash in Butte were remembered today (8/25) in a ceremony at the accident site.
A memorial plaque was revealed this afternoon in Holy Cross Cemetery where about 80 people showed up for the service, including many family members of the victims.
Though the family itself is from California, they wanted this plaque to stay in Butte, to remember the support the city gave them.
14 people died in that March crash including seven children.
The National Transportation Safety Board still hasn't determined how the crash occurred.
