Also, the same year was the Air Florida flight 90 crash into the Potomac River.


That was terrible. The news broadcast the aftermath live. People floating in the river, blinded jet fuel and hanging onto blocks of ice. I vividly remember watching that guy jump in and swim the freezing cold river to save a lady who was losing her grip on a life ring and slipping under the surface. She survived. What a hero that guy was!

I remember the passenger in the water who kept passing the helicopter's life ring to other people in the water. Sadly, he didn't make it.
