Air Florida, Flight 90.

I don’t understand this.

Don't understand what?

It freaked me out at the time. It is also part of why I have a fear of flying. Even last month seeing that jet engine on fire. But that Flight 90 was close to home for me. The airport is a stone's throw from the 14th Street bridge. I was watching a documentary on TV just now about that flight. It simply reminded me of that day back in January 1982.

The idiot captain as it turned out had a history of reports of ignoring procedure. He basically rushed not allowing proper d-icing and that caused the engine sensors to give bad data on takeoff, and they didn't have enough power to keep lift, and the plane stalled hitting the 14th Street bridge. 

I will say this, it was still amazing that even 5 people survived.

I don’t understand why you posted it. Not a big deal, it just seems kind of random.
