Very sad story. I recall well the crash of Flight 90, which took off from the airport in Washington DC and came right over one of the bridges, hit a few cars on the bridge and would up in the Potomac. In this case it was also an issue of icing, the plane had to wait too long after de-icing because the weather was so bad. Only a few survivors because of the frigid conditions and difficulty in getting rescue crews to the site. I rememeber it well because I was stuck in traffic on the West Side Highway in Manhattan in the same storm. It was snowing, sleeting, freezing rain, and I passed 43 abandoned cars before I got to the GW bridge. Still had to drive up the Henry Hudson Parkway and Saw Mill Parkway to get back home (all up hill!). All I heard on the radio all night was the reports in Flight 90. Took 4 hours to get home in my '80 Honda Civic, fortunatly I had 4 snow tires on it. I will not get on a plane in bad weather conditions.
