Air Florida Crash: Hearing from a flight 90 survivor

It was snowing when Joe Stiley woke up on the fateful morning of Jan. 13, 1982. He knew he had to fly to Florida for work that day. He was tasked with the unfortunate duty of announcing layoffs and was not thrilled to be leaving town. It was his son’s 13th birthday. Unexcited about his work ahead, he went to the airport with an eye on the forecast. He was not sure they would even be able to get a plane out that day. Boarding the flight, he noticed a variety of folks heading to the warmer climate. There were military men, college students, and families on board. He spent a moment talking to a pair of students heading back to school in Florida after spending their winter break in Washington D.C. Little did he know, his split-second decision to sit in the smoking section of the plane -- at that time, smoking sections were allowed on aircrafts -- with his assistant, Patricia Felch, would impact the rest of his life. It has been 40 years since Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River killing 78 people, including three infants. Stiley was one of only five people on the flight who survived.
