Mayday!

Frozen: Air Florida 90


Listen Later

On a snowy day in January 1982, Air Florida Flight 90 fell from the sky, crushed a bridge, and smashed through the ice of the Potomac River. But the tragic series of events that led to this crash is only half the story. Heroism, sacrifice, and bravery created a rescue effort like none other to save the survivors of Air Florida 90. But not everyone who survived the initial crash would make it out of the Potomac River alive. Tune into this tear-jerker of an episode as Caroline and Drew dive into this historic accident.
