Air Florida, aka Palm 90, crashed January 13, 1982. A terrible storm storm was about.
Google it to read the story.

Right you are again Truckman! Many heroes! First and foremost the US Park Police Helicopter Crew (Eagle 1 I believe) who went WAY beyond the call of duty in horrendous weather conditions to rescue survivors and bring them ashore, along with citizen Arland D. Williams Jr, a civilian who repeatedly passed off the rescue rope from the hovering US Park Police helicopter to victims other than himself before ultimately sinking below the icy water and perishing (the bridge has since been named after him). I remember watching it live on TV as a kid and being moved to tears...
