One year later in 1983, one of the 14th Street bridges was renamed the _"Arland D. Williams Jr. Memorial Bridge"_ in honor of this man who let others be saved first. - j q t -
The helicopter crew actually, were ordered not to fly, but disobeyed orders and flew anyway. They had to follow the roadway to get to the crash because they could not see through the blinding snow.
@SPL Builders the Park Police Helicopter pilot, Donald Usher, mentioned these statements in a past interview. All flights had been grounded due to the snowstorm.
@@davidthieroff9452 no, they were not, instead they were both awarded. Pilot Donald Usher and Technician, Melvin E. (Gene) Windsor received the U.S. Coast Guard's Silver Lifesaving Medal, and the Carnegie Hero Medal, and the U.S. Department of Interior Valor Award.
I was 11 years old living in Clinton, MD when this happened! My babysitter's mother was stuck just a few cars back on the 14th street bridge that day because she worked in DC. There was no way to contact her back then to make sure she was okay. We watched the entire news story unfold on TV. I remember the flight attendant (stewardess back then) "swimming" on the ice! It was so scary!
I can’t believe that courageous man survived the plane crash just to drown. That is heartbreaking, I never knew this story at all, thank you for such a great video on such a tragic accident,
You put a lot of hours into this, this is top notch!! Amazing rescue footage and lots of important detail! I think it's a wonderful tribute to have helicopter on display!! I love your videos👍👍
I remember when this happened. I flew my first commercial flight that day, flying from Pittsburgh to Detroit. I found out about the accident when I got to my hotel seeing the report on the news. It was very sobering to see what happened.
Omg as a Flight Attendant, this is terrifying. I can’t even imagine and don’t really want to imagine it. My heart goes out to the families of all the victims. You did a fantastic job!
Man, I was 16 when this happened and watched it all on the news. Live near D.C. and remember how bad the storm was and how terrifying it was to see those people out in that icy river. Like a damn nightmare. We were all so proud of the chopper crew and those folks who did everything they could to get them outa that water.
Being in the UK I didn't know about this crash. How heartbreaking it must of been to the rescuers who couldn't save the last guy. May they all rest in peace.
I was in the 10th grade when this happened, living in Northern Virginia... I remember this event very clearly. I and a bunch of my friends were watching all these things unfold on the news - LIVE. That man kept passing the rescue gear over to other people to let them be pulled to safety first... wow. And that chopper pilot was absolutely amazing. Thank you for doing this story.
I remember that day very well. I lived in Bethesda, MD at the time. Lots of snow on the ground. Tons of county fire-rescue units from Maryland racing into D.C. Kudos to U.S. Park Police aviation and citizens for their rescue efforts. The cockpit audio is chilling.
Well done. I was a nurse then and was called in just in case there were more casualties. My parents were in traffic on the bridge. It was truly chaotic.
The way that you put this story together is incredible Chris. I flew on this airline weeks before this tragedy and watched the news in horror as this story unfolded. It still puts a lump in my throat and brings a tear to my eye. I often wondered that being such a small airline if I was on this plane, but I don’t want to know. Thank you for your hard work.
Takeoff & landing 🛬 are the most difficult phases of ✈️ flight; hence the majority of aviation accidents cluster around the flight path in & out of Airports. Obviously the higher the traffic the greater chance for accidents. Our safety systems are better than ever - did you know from 2009 to 2019 there wasn't a single commercial aviation fatality or major injury in the USA ? Pretty amazing ! When I was a kid (70-80s) I expected to see whole planes full of people fall out of the sky, much like the Flight 90 disaster here. Thank the LORD they've become very very rare occurrences - with every tragic crash & death resulting in safer systems & procedures. Thank you for this reminder !
What a recounting, Chris! Such an amazing recovery of these people. You are right, incredible acts of heroism. So sad that the last man went under after helping the other 5.
One of the heroes of this disaster was Arland D. Williams Jr. On June 6, 1983, Williams was posthumously awarded the United States Coast Guard's Gold Lifesaving Medal in a White House Oval Office presentation by President Ronald Reagan and Secretary of Transportation, Elizabeth H. Dole. Arland's mother, Mrs. Virginia Williams accepted the medal on her son's behalf. In March, 1985, the city government for the District of Columbia, renamed the repaired 14th Street Bridge, the "Arland D. Williams Jr Memorial Bridge" in his honor. In 2003, a new elementary school was named the Arland D. Williams Jr. Elementary School in his hometown of Mattoon, Illinois.
Well done, young man. You do the story justice here. I was 21 and living in "NOVA" in those days and remember it well - it was a terrible day, not only for the Flight 90 crash but also for the Metro subway crash that happened about a half hour later in the city; more folks died in that one, too. My dad was one of thousands stuck in traffic at the 14th St bridge that day; the commuter van he owned ran from his job at USPS HQ and came across the bridge every day. They literally were sitting still at the very beginning of the bridge, so the plane came down basically directly in front of them! If traffic had not been at a standstill, who knows - my dad and his passengers could have been lost, too. Just an awful, terrible day all around... Some good things did come from the tragedy, though - the VA and DC emergency response leaders got together and worked out plans for cooperation in emergencies afterwards (there wasn't a plan before!), which helped considerably during 9/11 in later years for example. Our President at the time (Reagan) opened his state of the union speech a few days later by calling out some of the heroes' names of the tragedies first thing - something presidents have continued to do ever since in their own SOTU speeches. I think all of it also softened some hard hearts in the region, too - it's easy to get a tough skin living in a big city like DC, after all - but I remember people just being nicer to one another after that, at least for a little while anyways. - Ed on the Ridge
We had moved from the DC area 2 years prior to this crash. It was so hard to see this on the news as that bridge was one we had traveled many times, watching the planes go over. I wonder how those 5 survivors are doing today, if any of them are still with us. 😢
Ironic and sad. I am a Meteorologist actually working now at the weather office at KDCA (Reagan National Airport) on the roof of Terminal A. I was eating lunch while watching your video. The ironic part is that from time to time while watching your video, I would look out the window, right behind the computure monitor, and look at the bridge the plane hit, about 1/3 of a mile away. I was only 18 when the accident happened and didn't start working at KDCA until 1996. I have coworkers who WERE working that day. They didn't see the plane take off but they heard the crash. One co-worker said it sounded like someone rolling a large metal trashcan down some stairs. There are still two bodies buried in the mud there, a woman and a baby whom were never recovered. So sad.
What a horrible day that was. I was at work that day nearby and heard an unending stream of emergency vehicles. You have to live in DC to understand how snow affects things. It's a nightmare, especially for those sitting still in traffic on snow covered bridges. Cars cannot move very fast in the snow and things get pretty slick, with a lot of accidents. The plows can't get through to do their job because the cars (and trucks) aren't moving. It turns into a mess in a hurry. Regarding your reporting of the Air Florida crash, you were right on target with all the details of what happened. You apparently spent a good deal of time researching the subject and I thank you for that. I couldn't have reported it any better. Very accurate and very well delivered. As you know, Gravelly Point park and boat ramp are literally feet away from the main runway of the airport. Planes are either taking off directly overhead or coming in for a landing overhead as well. It's a very good vantage point to watch the aircraft.
I remember this so well, Chris. Thank you for shedding so much light on what proved to be a horrible day for Flight 90, it's passengers, and those stuck on the 14th Street Bridge. You always provide the best.
I've always remembered that. It was before cable and we weren't used to seeing things like this as it was happening. The sight of the flight attendant being lifted in the air by the helicopter was stunning and so memorable. Imagine that compared to what we see now. I followed the status of the flight attendant, Kelly. Her father was an airline pilot and she said she was never going to fly again or at least as a flight attendant. After a year or so, she did return.
This was the start of my fascination about airplanes and airplane crashes I was 12 years old when Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River I truly didn’t remember the plane crash but found out that a few years later in the movie that was made about Air Florida Flight 90 It is eerie to see you there seeing jets take off from Reagan National Airport and think about how Air Florida Flight 90 ended up falling from the sky crash on the 14th Street Bridge and end up in the Potomac River Again this documentary is very thorough Great coverage
Everyone in DC leaving work early to go home because of the snow. My husband came to pick me up because of the accumulation building up so fast. We just made it across the bridge before the accident happened. It was so sad, all these years later it still gives me the chills.
Remember this day well. I was 10 years old living in Maryland about 30 minutes away.. It was also January 13 which is my birthday, and if I am not mistaken it was Friday January 13. Awful day, but you did a great job retelling the story. I didn't know the crash was on the Virginia side of the bridge. I always thought it was on the DC side of the bridge.
i cannot even fathom what that water must have felt like. Oddly enough Kelly Duncans posturing was graceful. I didn't realize how close to the shoreline that crash was.
I lived in WDC on that horrible day...still do. I remember it well. There was also a deadly DC Metro accident on the same afternoon. Every time I drive over the 14th Street Bridge, I think about it.
Scott I stumbled upon your videos sometime ago and have watched you ever since and this was a great video with detailed video footage and your detailed explanation that nobody could have done any better.
Chris, man what a great video and story. Ive always loved watching your videos. You know how to put videos and pictures, alot of people dont do nowhere near what you do. Also i love your coat, i want one. Again awesome video, great job.
I watched this on TV back then when I was a teen. Later in the 90's when I got a job in DC my coworkers would comment when we drove across that bridge "this is where that plane crashed." It was still very much on their minds.
The date was January 13th. It was my husband and my 3rd anniversary. We were celebrating by going to the mall. We then heard the news of the crash. I can't imagine how cold everyone was as the survivors waited to be rescued, and the rescuers got wet themselves. Thank you for the detailed video.
Chris, my Grandfather hauled concrete bridge parts to there, to rebuild the bridge. He has an accident while unloading his truck, that he would have to retire. I remember all of this all to well.
Wow, amazing rescue efforts.. I’ve never seen anything like that. I hope those poor souls are enjoying eternal peace. It’s heartbreaking. Those people that scrambled to help are real life superheroes. It’s actually cool that the helicopter is on display in honour. That helicopter pilot was phenomenal by the looks.
I watched this happen on the news that day. I could just feel that rough ice ripping at my legs as those ladies were dragged to shore. Those pilots must have been ex- military ones, because they flew those helicopters with true authority and skill. That passenger that let everyone go first and was swept under is a true hero . He gave his own life for those people. I’m sure he rests in peace with the Lord for that. I wonder how many people are still alive from that ?
I watched this all from the bridge that day was stationed at 8th I wash dc we were on our way to the Bar and wittiness it all, later met Lenny several weeks afterwards was a humble man RIP I remember it like it was yesterday
I remember reading recently that one person would need to fly everyday for 50,000 years before an accident would be imminent. Perhaps a odd demonstration of the odds. Flying is much safer than driving or riding a bicycle in a city. We aren't rational about our perception of risk.
That helicopter pilot, holy smokes! Incredible footage too. Bless all those souls.
I've never seen helicopter flying that good. The precision to literally have it touching the water is amazing. That pilot is a hero.
Incredible
Nice profile picture

The term hero gets over used for any action these days unfortunately ; but that man is the true definition of a hero.
I did not know that but I do remember them calling him an Angel
Pure selflessness in the face of death. Definition of a hero in my book.
lol why do you sign your posts
The helicopter crew actually, were ordered not to fly, but disobeyed orders and flew anyway. They had to follow the roadway to get to the crash because they could not see through the blinding snow.
Even better

@@MD21037 Good.
I so remember watching it on the news.. the man that saved that lady who cold not hold on was an absolute true hero! There were all hero’s🙏
Yes he was God bless him!!
Me too. There was also a made for tv movie long long afterward, if I recall
The look in her eyes was frightening ! She was close to death if he did not save her.
She was like a rag doll.
the enormous shock of the freezing water to his cardiovascular system..... yow!
This is what true heroism looks like.

Unreal! ❤
Godbless you Lenny for jumping in and saving that lady. Godbless all these heros
I remember watching this on the news right after it happened. Such a sad time in history. Very well edited and put together Chris.
Thanks!
I remember when this happened. I flew my first commercial flight that day, flying from Pittsburgh to Detroit. I found out about the accident when I got to my hotel seeing the report on the news. It was very sobering to see what happened.
Absolutely incredible watching the helicopter pilot hover into the water to save people. Truly an example of human compassion.
The footage of the aftermath and rescue was incredible. Rest in peace to all those who perished that day. Great work putting this video together! 💚
Omg as a Flight Attendant, this is terrifying. I can’t even imagine and don’t really want to imagine it. My heart goes out to the families of all the victims. You did a fantastic job!

There is something to be said for that pilot and rescue crewman. Outstanding skill and piloting. Absolute true heroes.
God bless all these people and heroes !!! Poor souls that died 😢😢😢

I’m 56 and an Australian. And even I remember this happening at the time.
That helicopter pilot should get every award in the world for his performance!
Vietnam veteran chopper pilots were the best of the best 👍🇺🇸
Excellent Mobile 👍👍👍
Horrible crash but incredible heroism.
Chris, thank you for posting up this video, it is truly important to remember the lives lost on that day.
Rest in Peace to all these victims.
A lot of heroes that day! The chopper pilot was an absolute surgeon with that helicopter! 🚁Another fantastic video!😎🇺🇸

Thanks man I appreciate it
In 82, I was negative 6. Born in D.C.
But my older relatives would always remind me of what happened whenever we would drive on the other bridge
Thank you for covering the stories you do Chris. Keep up the great work!
This was the start of my fascination about airplanes and airplane crashes
I was 12 years old when Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River I truly didn’t remember the plane crash but found out that a few years later in the movie that was made about Air Florida Flight 90
It is eerie to see you there seeing jets take off from Reagan National Airport and think about how Air Florida Flight 90 ended up falling from the sky crash on the 14th Street Bridge and end up in the Potomac River

As soon as I saw that chopper come in and go low to the water I was like "That pilot was in Vietnam"

Wow that was some of the most Heroic footage I’ve ever seen! Great video bro!
I was 11 yrs old I remember watching it on the news. You did a great job 😊
TY so much for this video. I remember when I was a little kid and it brought back a lot of memories
Certainly not a "good" memory but this was quite a dramatic rescue story to unfold live on TV in front of our very eyes.
This story brought tears to my eyes
That rescue footage is deserving of the Pulitzer. Everyone involved in rescuing those 5 survivors is a legit hero.
Ty
Scott I stumbled upon your videos sometime ago and have watched you ever since and this was a great video with detailed video footage and your detailed explanation that nobody could have done any better.
Unbelievable rescue! My mother and I watched it all on the TV during live coverage. Sad
Excellent job Chris. A very tragic and sad story to be sure. Thanks so much!
I remember this well I was living in Washington when that happened. And it was the 14th Street Bridge it was a real snowy cold day.
Awesome video. A very powerful video. I've really enjoyed watching your stuff, the thumbnail shows an MD80/DC9, not the 737 that it was though
Great vid! I remember this happening but had forgotten about it! Watched it live on TV.
Great report and on site, very informative
My first time hearing about this tragedy. Great content as always

This is the only channel I have notifications turned on for. So good!!
I found this video very interesting. I remember this crash but I never knew the details you shared.
unbelievable seeing thank you for sharing rest in peace for the lost 😞 of this family friend of this flight ✈️
Thx Chris for bringing this story to light.
Wow, amazing rescue efforts.. I’ve never seen anything like that. I hope those poor souls are enjoying eternal peace. It’s heartbreaking. Those people that scrambled to help are real life superheroes. It’s actually cool that the helicopter is on display in honour. That helicopter pilot was phenomenal by the looks.
As a British army medic I got goosebumps on top of my chemo nausea heroes all of them watching that wow 💛
I remember this terrible crash. I was 19 at the time, my father had just drove over the bridge minutes before the crash.
God bless them all and bravo to the pilot driver of the helicopter.... the way he is just whipping around saving people just beautiful.
Thank you for this video brother. I remember it , appreciate your attention to detail.
Great video! Thank you!
Seems like yesterday to me. I can still remember watching it on the breaking news or evening news. It was heartwrenching then as it is now.
Fantastic video, I remember when it happened but you enlightened me, thank you
great upload, love your videos
Great video. Sad that so many died, but those people that rescued the others are real heroes

I remember the crash. Thanks for the details.
Very interesting indeed happy your friend recommend me to. Your videos . looking forward to future ones. Rip to all those loss in terrible accident .
Really well done video. Cored quite a lot watching the footage. What an awful tragedy.
I remember this excellent video Chris very heroic rescuers
Very informative. Thank you for posting. I enjoy your vlogs.
This was a year before I was born and I have never heard of it before. I’m very surprised I haven’t. I’m glad mobile instinct covered this for me.
