Turning left onto Runway 1 and looking down 6869 feet of pavement pointed left of the Washington Monument. This is the runway on which Air Florida Flight 90 tried to take off on a snowy January day in 1982 with its wings and engine iced up. It stalled out and smacked the 14th Street bridge, to the left of the runway, and went into the Potomac. I'm probably not a good guy to sit next to on a jet because I remember all these things and am happy to tell you about them. You don't really want to know, do you?
