[00:34.42]a severe snowstorm hit Washington,D.C.
[00:39.28]The temperature fell to the mid2 teens.
[00:43.44]Driving snow made it hard to see.
[00:47.80]Flights out of Washington's National Airport were delayed
[00:52.84]while snow-plows cleared the runways.
[00:57.10]Air Florida Flight 90,with its seventy-nine passengers,was no exception.
[01:04.07]It was originally scheduled to depart at 2:15 P. M.
[01:09.43]clearing the runways,however,took over an hour.
[01:14.08]At 3:37,
[01:17.45]the pilot was finally allowed to move the plane into position for take off.
[01:23.01]But fifteen other planes were lined up ahead of it.
[01:27.37]Another twenty minutes went by
[01:31.00]before Flight 90 could roll out onto the runway.
[01:35.65]While Flight 90 was waiting for the runways to be plowed3,
[01:40.93]the ice that had formed on its wings was removed.
[01:45.50]But new ice began to form immediately.
[01:50.05]As the pilot waited for the fifteen other planes to take off,
[01:55.01]the ice grew heavier.

[02:12.83]Flight 90 roared down the runway when its turn came at 3:59 P.M.
[02:20.09]As the jet took off,it shuddered4.
[02:23.75]Something was wrong.
[02:26.98]It was not gaining altitude as it should.
[02:31.06]One of the passengers,who was also a pilot,said,"We're not going to make it."
[02:37.30]Meanwhile,traffic on the Fourteenth Street Bridge over the Potomac River was heavy.
[02:43.96]It was rush hour,and workers who lived outside the city were headed home.
[02:50.44]Suddenly the blue,green and white form of an Air Florida 727 appeared out of the clouds
[02:58.70]Flight 90 was going down,
[03:02.46]and it was heading straight for the crowded bridge.
[03:06.82]The motorists on the bridge could do nothing but watch in horror
[03:12.18]as the airplane fell from the sky and smashed across the northbound lane.
[03:18.84]The tops of several cars were sheared5 off.
[03:22.99]Four motorists were killed before the plane
[03:27.56]plunged into the frigid6 Potomac and broke in two.
