Air Florida Flight 90

Introduction
Air Florida Flight 90 was a passenger flight from Virginia to Florida with a stopover in Tampa. The aircraft crashed after a stall due to the bad weather situations at the time of the accident.

Pilots
Captain Larry M. Wheaton & First Officer Roger A. Pettit were in the cockpit on the day of the accident, and it was a mistake they made that further doomed the flight.

The Crash
It was a cold day in Arlington, Virginia, and the ground was covered in snow. When on the ground, the de-icing crews de-iced the aircraft with half that it required, which already doomed the flight. However, when preparing for the flight, this astonishing conversation was heard on the CVR:

First Officer Pilot heat?

Captain On.

First Officer Engine anti-ice?

Captain Off.

Both the Captain and First Officer were so used to their normal routines in Florida that they turned the Engine anti-ice off. This made their already deadly situation even more deadly. When taking off, the First Officer was confused by the readings on their speed. He was surprised it was up to take-off speed to quickly, but as a matter of fact, they weren't. As they didn't turn on the engine anti-ice, they received false readings for speed and other items. The captain took off thinking they were at take-off speed, when they were actually far from it. The ice that had built up on the wings caused the aircraft's nose to lift up, lowering the speed even more. The plane entered a stall. What made it so bad was that the Boeing 737 was now heading for the 14th Street Bridge. And, just as expected, the plane slammed into the side of the bridge, killing 4 people and injuring another 4. It then tore off 30m of the bridge's railings, and plunged into the frozen Potomac River. A total of 5 people made it out of the aircraft, and the rest drowned in the river.

May all those who drowned in the icy river rest in peace.
