PART 1
AIR FLORIDA FLIGHT 90 CRASH INTO THE 14ST STREET BRIDGE/METRO TUNNEL CRASH IN BETWEEN THE FEDERAL TRIANGLE/SMITHSONIAN STATIONS WEDNESDAY JANUARY 13, 1982 16:07 HOURS
This is the Channel 1 Audio from the Washington DC Fire Department that day. Units had one hell of a time reaching the scene, because the Federal Government let out early due to a blizzard. All roads were filled with traffic. So are the radio airwaves as you will hear. Also there was a Third alarm fire the night before in the city that still held up some fire department units. Air Florida flight 90 crashed shortly after takeoff from National Airport onto the 14th Street Bridge. About 30 minutes later, there was a collision/derailment between two Metro subway cars in between the Federal Triangle and Smithsonian stations. One hell of a day. There were 74 deaths on the plane, and 3 deaths combined between the two cars. Sorry for the crappy audio but this tape is at least 15 years old. Theres also a lot of bleedover between channels.
at 16:07 A box alarm was sounded for a report of a plane crash at the 14th Street bridge (assignment):
E13 E7 E16 E2 T10 T3 B6 R1 R2 R3 FB FU FFD on Box 417

A very sad day that I will never forget. It could rightly be called a perfect storm when one considers all the elements that conspired together to make that afternoon a living hell for all involved.
