On this date 30 years ago I was covering the opening day of the Maryland General Assembly for WTOP, when a huge blizzard cut the session short. On my way home, I heard about the crash of Air Florida Ft. 90, and then on the police scanner in my car I heard about the subway crash. The next morning I stood on the 14th street bridge covering the aftermath. Because so many of us were stuck in traffic we heard about the crash long before we saw the dramatic TV footage. Here's what is sounded like at the time. From my personal archives. (audio only)
