at least it fared better then Air Florida into Potomac...Jan/13/1982...Fatalities 78




Yeah, but the Air Florida crash assured the career of Howard Stern who was working at DC-101 at the time, and put in a call to Air Florida's reservation desk and asked for the cost of a ticket from National Airport to the 14th Street bridge.



I wonder if Stern will call in to US Air from SIRIUS?

personally I love the 14th st. bridge...from wiki...

Quote:

In July 1989, the 14th Street Bridge gained national notoriety when police officers, frustrated by inability to clean up the problem in D.C.'s 14th Street red-light district, ordered a group of prostitutes to march from the Thomas Circle area, down 14th Street, and nearly to the bridge to Virginia. As the parade started up the approach ramp to the bridge, Washington Post photographer Stephen Jaffe happened by, followed by a Post reporter, causing the police officers to flee. The women returned to Thomas Circle. They never crossed the bridge, but because they were on the approach ramp, it's clear that the police officers' intent was to make them march into Virginia. The next day, after politicians from Virginia complained, others noted that Virginia police had sent homeless people across bridges into D.C.
