The plane was sluggishly accelerating on the runway, the engine power was insufficient. The Boeing 737 could only travel one kilometer in the air and crashed from a height of 100 meters onto a bridge and then into the icy Potomac River in Washington. The airliner was de-iced before departure, but its wings, engines, and important sensors were still icy during takeoff. Why was Air Florida Flight 90 unable to climb to a safe altitude from the snowstorm? What series of mistakes and inattentions on the ground led to the disaster? What changes occurred in aviation after the Washington incident? We talk about this with Flight Instructor Captain Béla Trangóni, the tour guide at Aeropark.
