The Worst Day: A Plane Crash, A Train Wreck, and Remarkable Acts of Heroism in Washington, DC

Autor Bruce Goldfarb
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2025
Dedicated to first responders and every person who steps up to act when it matters... More than 40 years before a Black Hawk helicopter collided mid-air with American Airlines Flight 5342 over the Potomac River, a desperate race against time took place nearby in overwhelming conditions. Washington, DC, was in the grips of a historic snowstorm on January 13, 1982 that gridlocked the city when Air Florida 90 crashes into a bridge jammed with traffic and plunges into the iced-over Potomac River. 6 people survive the crash, clinging to wreckage in the icy river as a Park Police helicopter risks a daring rescue in nearly whiteout conditions. As the rescue is taking place, DC's Metro system suffers its first fatal derailment nearby, with dozens injured. In this page-turning drama, journalist and former firefighter/EMT Bruce Goldfarb recreates the harrowing struggles for survival and acts of incredible courage. Told through the eyes of survivors, firefighters, police, and bystanders, many of whom have never before shared their stories, Goldfarb explores the day's impact on these participants as well as on the resulting aviation and transit safety measures that have protected us over the decades.
