History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Air Florida Flight 90

On January 13, 1982, Air Florida flight 90 took off from Washington's National Airport and crashed into the 14th Street Bridge before winding up in the Potomac River. 78 people, including 4 in their cars on the bridge, were killed in this accident, which was blamed on crew error and failure to use proper de-icing procedures.
