Photo Comment

Operating as Flight 90 from DCA-FLL on January 13, 1982 this aircraft departed in a snowstorm and stalled after takeoff striking the 14th Street bridge across the Potomac river. Seen here about to land on rwy 9R at MIA. I was working in downtown D.C. at the time and we also had a fatal crash on the Metro Subway System the same afternoon. My normal 45 minute commute home became a nearly 5 hour tedious drive in a snowstorm.
