This was one of the scariest days of my life. I knew that both of my parents were to cross that bridge at around the same time this happened. Those that jumped into the freezing waters to help those in the crash are some of America’s greatest heroes.
Thirty years ago today, Air Florida Flight 90 hit the 14th Street Bridge while taking off from Reagan National Airport. It crashed into the Potomac River, killing all but five of the 79 passengers. Summary | Photos | Video of rescue | The survivors | The skies today
