[Scan-DC] I remember this one well

1982 - Shortly after takeoff, Air Florida Flight 90 737 jet crashes into
Washington, DC's 14th Street Bridge and falls into the Potomac River,
killing 78 including four motorists. In a freaky coincidence, a
Washington DC Metro Rail train derailed, killing 3 people.

That night, I walked from the middle of Alexandria to the crash site. No
one was expected to show up, so I was able to walk onto the 14th Street
Bridge. A car that had been hit by the plane was still there - a Renault
Le Car, I believe. The snow was quite deep, so a long walk was made even
more arduous.

Who listened to his scanner that day? I did not have public service
crystals for my scanner, a four-channel Montgomery Ward scanner made by
Sharp.
