[00:34.42]a severe snowstorm hit Washington,D.C.
[00:39.28]The temperature fell to the mid 2 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.

[01:40.93]the ice that had formed on its wings was removed.
[01:45.50]But new ice began to form immediately.

[02:58.70]Flight 90 was going down,
[03:02.46]and it was heading straight for the crowded bridge.
