On Jan. 13, 1982, Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River in Washington D.C. Only five people survived the crash, including Joe Stiley. He had been on the plane with his assistant when it started to go down. He braced himself and felt the plane slam into a bridge, then hit the water. As it sank down to the depths of the Potomac, he said a brief prayer and didn’t expect to wake up. As icy water quickly filled the plane, it revived him and he was able to escape the plane with his assistant and swim to the surface. Badly injured, Stiley helped two women cling to the wreckage. As they waited for rescue, people gathered along the bridge and the riverfront to watch. Folks dropped ropes and things down from the river, but it was too far away to help crash survivors. A long 20 minutes or so later, a helicopter arrived, and began to tow the few survivors to shore with ropes. All the survivors had serious injuries, and a sixth person that had survived the crash drowned in the river. City officials would later rename the 14th Street Bridge in honor of the man who drowned that day: the Arland D. Williams Jr., Memorial Bridge. Stiley reflected decades later that he had done the best he could to help as many people as he could. He wasn’t exactly sure why he had lived when so many had died that day: “I’m a survivor, I guess.” • » Subscribe to WUSA9: https://bit.ly/2lO8e2F • FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA – • Twitter: / wusa9 • Facebook: / wusa9 • Instagram: / wusa9 • NEWS TIPS – • Email: [email protected] • #AirFlorida #AirFloridaFLight90 #JoeStiley • IN AN INSTANT EPISODES: • Joe Thiesmann recounts infamous NFL play that broke his leg: • Joe Thiesmann recounts infamous NFL p... • Two women survive being run over by a car: • Good Samaritans filmed rescuing two w...
