In Reply to: The sound of a Boeing 737 slamming into the 14th St Bridge, on the Potomac posted by gmike on April 18, 2015 at 14:42:01:
I was driving back from a buddy's house (near Columbia, MD) in a beater Chevy pickup. We loaded a junker washing machine in the back to give us some traction on the snowy, icy roads. I rolled into my driveway in Kensington, MD and opened the door and saw my GF watching the local news coverage of the tragedy on TV.
It was horrific to watch the rescue helicopters flying low over the heads of the folks struggling in the icy Potomac River waters. And I'll never forget the one guy who kept slipping out of the harness and eventually gave it to a stewardess (I think) so she could be rescued. He subsequently drowned, IIRC.
What a horrible day that was...
