On January 13, 1982, Air Florida Flight 90, a Boeing 737-222, was a scheduled flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from Washington National Airport, Washington, D.C. There were 74 passengers and 5 crewmembers on board. The flight was delayed about 1 hour 45 minutes due to a moderate to heavy snowfall. Shortly after takeoff the aircraft crashed at 1601 e.s.t. into the 14th Street Bridge over the Potomac River and plunged into the ice-covered river, 0.75 nmi from the departure end of runway 36. Four passengers and one crewmember survived the crash. Four persons in the vehicles on the bridge were killed; four were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the flightcrew's failure to use engine anti-ice during ground operation and takeoff, and to take off with snow/ice on the airfoil surfaces of the aircraft. Contributing to the accident were the ground delay between de-icing and takeoff clearance.
"For wreckchasers and aviation archaeologists in the southern states, Bob Widner's Searching for Lost Warbirds in Florida is a goldmine of information. This unique book has done the research on more than 50 World War II aircraft crashes, providing the details along with aerial maps of the area then, and aerial maps showing the crash site today. Searching for Lost Warbirds in Florida puts you in the field, this weekend, visiting historic aircraft crash sites." - Nicholas A.
