14th Street Bridge, the Air Florida Crash, and Subway Disaster
I was in the northern DC suburbs and heard about it on my way to a travel agent to arrange for a Caribbean holiday. There was nasty heavy wet snow.
The Washington Metrorail (underground) had its first fatal accident that same afternoon ... much less severe than the plane crash.
